The only government-run liquor store I will ever frequent is the Class VI at my local military installation. No tax!

Hehehe. Brother-in-law USAF. Know what you mean.
I too patronize my local Class VI store here at Fort Jackson SC although the downtown discount stores are occasionally competitive and do have a much larger selection.
But you can’t buy minibottles in SC unless you have a restauranteur license. Dispensed drinks are still verboten (more tax per ounce in a minibottle than a 1.75L).
But it’s so much better here than in PA, which BTW lets you own semiautomatic firearms but you can’t hunt with them.
Because Philadelphia rules PA the way Chicago rules Illinois and Milwaukee rules Wisconsin. Just sayin’.
