I was just talking with a liquor store owner about this. The difference here is that liquor store owners aren't state employees; they're contractors. So frankly, this won't change anything except removing the number two source of income to the state's general fund.
Prohibition didn't work then and it doesn't work now. That's why I want folks to be able to purchase their vodka, heroin and Cheetos all in the same store.
I really REALLY hope this passes. I hate going into liquor stores. I look 12, so they always treat me like I have a fake ID. Somehow I feel like it will be better if I'm in a grocery store.
The only thing I miss about California are the 1.5-liter plastic bottles of generic vodka at Safeway. Well, that and bikinis during the winter. (Though I could never really find one that fit me properly.)
