TAKE ACTION ON CANNED COCKTAILS in AL,CA, TN, TX

Let your legislators know we demand equal market access for spirits based RTDs.

In many states, consumer access to spirits ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails is severely restricted by outdated laws that prohibit the sale of these products at grocery and convenience stores, unlike beer- and wine-based RTD beverages even though they have the same or similar alcohol content. At the same time, spirits RTDs are taxed at a much higher rate than beer- and wine-based RTDs. Modernizing alcohol laws to allow equal access and fair tax treatment for spirits RTDs will boost small businesses, raise state tax revenue and support consumer choice.
