This is just red herring. Of course a lot of crappy little bottle shops are going to close. Good riddance. You've obviously never been a quality grocer like winco, HEB, hell even kroger has a better wine and beer selection than %99 of liquor stores in OK. If there's a store like freeman's on western that goes to painstaking ends to stock all the hard to find beers. They're going to be fine. They're going to be more than fine because all the crappy little bottle shops will be fewer and far between and they will see increased liquor sales.

People keep using buzz words phrases: dollars for walmart and people are going to lose their jobs. It's called a free market. It changes shape and conforms to what the consumer wants. And you asking the Govt. to keep stepping on everyone's toes to preserve the status quo which supports hundreds of pitiful liquor stores that would be crushed by someone who has their act together and can give the consumer what they want.
