How is it broken? There's a tax on alcoholic beverages. It doesn't specify alcohol content.

If it brings in more revenue then it’s a feature not a flaw.

It’s a feature now, is what I’m getting at. A happy accident.

Per https://dor.wa.gov/taxes-rates/other-taxes/spirits-hard-liquor-sales-tax tax applies to “any beverage containing alcohol obtained by distillation”. It’s sort is non sense, promotes drinking hard liquor than less alcoholic beverages

Would be better and simpler for everyone if this state did away with all their sin taxes and just charged regular sales tax.

They're trying to tax based on thc % you're telling me they can't do the same for alcohol? It should be easy if they're lab testing alcoholic beverages which they should be doing already. Cheap and strong should not be encouraged, look at bud ice its awful

Are you expecting them to charge based on alcohol content? That would be way more complicated.
