@Dee8go, yeah that's what I said. I just want to avoid the stupid taxes.
That last comment explains everything, I think. The states are PO'd about sales tax revenues lost because of on-line buying. Think of how much they stand to lose from on-line liquor buying. Liquor is very heavily-taxed. I have heard that 50% or more of the price of a bottle of liquor is tax.
