According to the Seattle Weekly, the Washington State Liquor Control Board -- which, if you caught the gist of the title, controls the sale of spirits in state -- has voted to increase the markup on liquor from 39.2 percent to 51.9 percent. Meaning, a 1.75L bottle of Stoli vodka costs $46.95, and our favorite, a .75L bottle of Jameson, costs $27.95.
Aiyoh! That's how expensive alcohol was in Singapore! Did I actually move? I mean, I know the state isn't taxing milk and eggs, but these vice taxes cut me deep. Though it is another way to bring in revenue during a recession...any thoughts?
