Commentary: Illinois’ alcohol tax is almost as old as America. It needs reform. – Chicago Tribune*

"In Chicago, a carry-away 12-pack of beer gets slapped with more than $2 in tax. The $1.01 in federal, state and county alcohol taxes piles on top of the 1.5 percent city tax and the 10.25 percent general sales tax. The combined burden makes taxes the single most expensive ingredient in many Americans’ drink of choice."
