your state over spent what it takes in. So they are looking to tax something, the evil booze.
What's next, a tax on fatty foods,
Hey I have an idea, why not, fix your spending,
Everywhere in the country businesses are cutting back People are cutting Back,
But the govt, considers a cut back when it only raised spending by 4% rather than 5%.

I would prefer they cut spending back to what it was when Red Doofus took office - but that is not likely to happen. There will be a lot of spending cuts, but some taxes are inevitable. If that is the case, I would rather they be taxes about which I have a choice, whther to pay (by buying alcohol) or not.

Don't try to infer that I support the current spending spree by the Dems out here - I don't! But I am also smart enough to know what will be the likely courses of action by these idiots. And since some taxes are going to increase, this is one that would be acceptable to me.

Probably. They tried to pass a tax on soda a few months ago.

It's very interesting that no one ever says what you suggest."Control The Spending" in your state and things are bound to get better."Control Spending"? A fine idea that no legislator anywhere in the USA wants to hear.
