Thanks to CM Lisa McDonald for posting her reasoning on this controversial issue to the list. I disagree with her point about training/compliance at grocery stores. If grocery stores can train their clerks and cashiers to card for the sale of cigarettes (which seems to be a universal practice as far as I can tell, but I'm not a smoker), it doesn't seem like a big deal for them to extend that level of training/compliance to liquor sales. And, why couldn't the law allowing liquor sales in grocery stores, if it limits the sale to wines only, be even more restrictive and not allow certain types of wines, sizes, etc.? Put me down as a person who has picked up more than my share of bottles (living 1 block from both Kick's and Skol's plus a former corner store), but who thinks the sale of wine at grocery stores might actually HELP normalize our society's attitudes toward spirits of all kinds.
