I wonder why the SE corner of the deep south is so tax heavy on beer? I mean FL doesn't count because FL is just a northern state that happens to be in the south.

Glad my home state of TX is pretty close to the middle. I'll take it!

Something not mentioned in the article, is in states like NY that have a bottle/can deposit, you might as well add that at a tax, because it's not like a visitor is going to find the relevant return location.
