The states that sell beer and wine everyone have a 2 1/2 times greater fatal crash rate than Massachusetts. So dont say that other states do not have any problem with selling alcohol virtually everywhere to everyone. You must onw a company that sells bodybags. If voting no saves one parent from getting a visit at 3 a.m. then its worth it.

Actually, my facts are not skewed as the facts will show that the "no one proponents" are the ones skewing the facts. The TRUTH is that there are also states that prohibit grocery store wine sales whose accident rates are also 2 .5 times higher than the rate in MA. Just more hogwash from the MA liquor lobby trying to scare us into protecting their wallets.

Just remember -- figures lie and liars figure.

And no I dont own a body bag company. I am a person who enjoys drinking good wine who does not like having my choices limited by a group who pays off the Politicians of this state in order to protect their wallets.

You can state facts untill your blue in the face, the bottom line is alcohol is dangerous and need to be controled, and I believe it should be by a small business who will lose the most buy selling to a minor. It is not candy or gum and should be regulated. I don't like it and I am voting NO!

Why don't you ask a parent who lost a teenager or a Spouse Who lost half there family to a drunk drive how they are voting. I bet they are voting no

When our local Hannaford was still a Victory, they carded EVERYONE without fail. And the Kids checking you out never touched the product. I felt no imposition and thought that it was the right thing to do. The local Packys on the other hand...
