Starting Friday, your booze tax goes up from 6% to 9%

Of course.. it's really hard to find the tax rates in VA, so my smugness might be misplaced. But for now...


Neener!

Virginia alcohol taxes are far higher than Maryland's even with the increase.


               gas/gal   cigs/pk          liq    wine   beer (alcohol taxes are PER GALLON)
Maryland $0.235      $1.00         $1.50   $0.40 $0.09
Virginia    $0.175      $0.30        $14.54 $1.51 $0.26

Virginia wants you to drive and smoke
Maryland wants you to drink.. a lot..

yup.. $14.50 per gallon taxes for whisky....

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

that is why I am glad I work close enough to the DC line, that I can go pick up my booze before heading home if I feel the need to protest by way of my wallet.

DC's alcohol taxes are the same as maryland, the land of marys.

yes, but alchohol is still cheaper because it doesn't have to go through the Montgomery County Liquor Board and purchase program 1st which takes a cut and bumps up the price before tax is added on!
