WRONG TO ALLOW LIQUOR SALES ON CREDIT

I CAN'T believe it! Our representatives in Richmond favor a law that would allow customers to use plastic charge cards to purchase liquor in ABC stores.

This bill would make it easier for persons who are alcoholics to purchase liquor anytime they want it. Isn't it enough that the state of Virginia condones the consumption of alcohol by selling it in government-run stores? Alcohol is a drug that destroys individuals, families and lives!
