Initial Estimates Said State Would Raise $85M Per Year
David Roose, director of the Maryland Bureau of Revenue Estimates, said Monday it's hard to tell from the first month of a new tax how much will be raised on a yearly basis.
If July turns out to be the average, it would add up to about $72 million in extra state revenue a year.
Initial estimates projected the tax would raise roughly $85 million a year.

not a nickle of it was mine. once that tax increase came into place, I made a vow to purchase all my alcohol 2 miles up the road in Delaware. I can't afford the bars anyway. Tax Free Liquors in Delmar is the best place to shop. great selection, prices, staff, and i can actually look at the bottles without having to ask a clerk behind the counter to get it.
maybe because no matter what the price, these stupid LUSHES will continue to liquor themselves up! alcohol is horrible!
I'm with 2:29.....
2:35 if you don't want to drink then don't you self righteous AHOLE! But you should condemn the tax because it will just be a matter of time before the government gets around to taxing something you use or do.
Will be eagerly awaiting

response when they hike the tax on toilet paper, which they obviously need in abundance.
Ain't no such thing as "extra" revenue. You either got it or you don't.
Ok 2:35pm. I just got home and clicked on Salisbury News, and opened a beer. You will be proud of me because I had a few too many beers in Salisbury, so I took a bus home. I'AM proud of myself as well because I've never driven a bus before.
