You have been getting taxedwice for alcohol for years and didn't even realize it. The alcohol that is served in restaurants is taxed by the state, and when the meals tax is added onto the bill the alcohol is included. Hence taxed twice. The alcohol is not supposed to be taxed in that fashion and more than likely what happens is that the restaurant owner pockets the extra. Nonetheless it is still taxing that you are being taxed twice on alcohol served in restaurants.
