Do you live in a control state? I'm kinda surprised there's no discount for
bulk purchases.
Is it really $3.00 no matter the cost of the bottle? It would seem really
strange to see a $4.50 bottle of Triple-Sec get a $3 tax on it.
Does your bar or any other sneak around this once in a while by grabbing a
couple bottles outside the context of a liquor order? At my old place, if
Oregon had that law, we'd certainly be sneaking around that one anytime that
we had a small enough order for it to pass under the radar.
