Yeah, I know each state has its own bizarre laws regulating the sale of alcohol, and it's all the 23rd Amendment's fault. But here's one I hadn't heard before: Ohio requires a mandatory markup on wine of 135 percent. And only on wine: the mandatory markup on beer and liquor is less than one-sixth of that. Stores that violate this mandatory sales price by charging less are quickly visited by state agents, who don't seem to enforce other regulations quite so vigorously.
Ah, free enterprise.
