hmmm.... Me thinks Costo should sell marry-wanna instead. Me been waiting over 30 years to legally smoke a joint. Aint getten any younger, so make it legal already!
FYI... Medical marry-wanna license in WA aint worth the paper its written on so don't rely on it.
Smoke em, if ya got em, Pot-head at heart

I'm a pothead too.......... Right Dan?

AM,
Not sure if the tribes would oppose it or not. The last time I looked at booze pricing in a tribal store, it was the same as in a state run store. I wonder if tribes can buy direct from the distillery or have to go through a distributor?
If this does pass, my next wish would be an initiative to level the playing field in the gaming industry.

I didn't see a thing, Keith.

How could you see through those slits you call eyes.

Now that is cold JG !!!

I'm old enough to remember when you had to be certain to pick up a 'Sunday sack' so you'd have beer on Sunday as you couldn't buy it.
Yea, it sucks now but the suckage then was maximum.

I think this will pass overwhelmingly. But, I hope they also loosen the rules about hours, etc. If you areold enopugh to buy booze, you are old enough to decide when, where, and how you want to buy it.

Enopugh, already!
(Fingers do funny things, eh, Deva?)

Axe the state run liquor stores and put Taco Bell in charge.

* Plenty of locations already!
* Drive thru!
* Open late!
* Ridiculously cheap...

Now "make a run for the border" has real meaning!

They gonna privatize rehabs for all you alkies?
Oh yeah nevermind. BTW rehabs are big business here in California. There's one on every corner.

I would like to see Liquor privatized.

Paying 30% more for some booze here than in privatized states is reason enough.

Seeing as they already drove the price of Becks up to almost 10 bucks for a 6 pack!

Marz - You did know that you don't have to go to a state run liquor store to buy Becks beer... right?

Booze costs the same or less here than it does in a lot of other states that have privatized sales.

I think you may be confusing liquor taxes with the privatized selling of alcohol.

Like where?

I can't think of another state except maybe Utah or one of those other Bible-thumper states that has higher sin-taxes than Warshington.

Sin taxes and the privatized sale of liquor are two different things. Just because we might go to privatized sales here in WA... doesn't mean that all of a sudden booze is gonna get a lot cheaper.

Since you asked though... I just got back from Alaska where I paid $15 for a pint of Jack Daniels at a private store. That same pint here is about the same price. I think it may be even more in CA right now too.

i don't care if you drink PBR's or not, how is this price compared to yours up there? i'd mention patron prices at costco down here, but i don't want JG to have a stroke - he's been laying down the zingers pretty good lately

Beer and wine are different because you can buy them at grocery and convenience stores up here too. Any price differential there would be tax only most likely.

How much is a pint of Jack Daniels down there right now Mike?

Liquor in the front!

Poker in the rear!

Seriously comparing prices in AK and Hawaii to the lower 48?!?

You do realize that anything in those states requires 2000+ miles of shipment, right?

$15 for a pint of JD sounds pretty expensive to me. I can get a pint for 8.99 here
