The spirit of liquor bans
The Supreme Court has highlighted how little prohibition achieves, calling liquor bans futile in practice. This matters to states that depend heavily on alcohol money. Before one such ban, liquor brought in 14 per cent of the state's own revenue. That same state tops the poverty charts, so the loss is serious. If your business depends on alcohol sales, keep a close watch on your state's next move.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The Supreme Court has rightly highlighted that prohibition does not really work.
- Before the ban, liquor accounted for 14 per cent of the state's own revenue.
- The state that gave up this liquor revenue tops the poverty charts.
