Beer distributors fight sales by supermarkets
To quote the first paragraph in today's Post Gazette:
The Pennsylvania Malt Beverage Distributors want the state Supreme Court to review a recent lower-court ruling that allows beer to be sold in supermarkets, claiming that if the ruling stands it could lead to "beer sales almost anywhere."
And the problem here is what exactly....? Aside from a threat to the distributors' monopoly, of course.
A spokesman for the Malt Beverage Distributors went on to say that if the ruling was allowed to stand, it would lead directly to, "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!"
