either allow them to sell it-- or don't

Efforts to monopolize sales by some are ridiculous...

From the AP in the C-J...

Some Indiana liquor store owners worry that a push to allow Sunday alcohol sales in the state could hurt their businesses if lawmakers also permit grocery stores to sell cold beer.

Broadway Liquors owner Mary Paulson said allowing grocery stores to sell cold beer would cost her Chesterton business and other liquor stores their sole competitive edge.

“It's the one thing we have,” she said....

Then you need to get out of the business-- instead of relying on the government to restrict your competition.

Monahan said lifting the carryout ban on Sundays would serve customers by allowing them to pick up alcohol along with food during a single visit to a grocery store. He does not buy the argument that liquor store owners deserve the day off.

“I think that's a weak argument and a self-serving one,” he said....

Amen!
