Sounds just slightly worse than Missouri. If I want Jack Daniels, or any other particular brand of alcohol, beer included, I have one choice on where to get it. I can't even go to a liquor store and take advantage of a sale. In fact, I pay $3 more a case on average for a case of beer, than the regular price at Sam's club.

If I want some esoteric brand that doesn't have a distributor in my area, too bad. Not allowed to import it even though I live 5 miles from Kansas that may have it available.

It doesn't matter if they treat you like crap or not, you still have no other choice. I call that a government sponsored monopoly. What would you call it?
