Damn those liberal Democrats and their paternalistic regulatory state!
Oops, my bad. The Arizona state government is a Republican-dominated institution. And Republicans are split between those who favor only paternalistic regulations (such as liquor control), those who favor in-state business interests (such as the liquor industry middlemen), and libertarians (few in number and without much influence, it seems).
There is no party for a libertarian in the US. Just as there is no party for those who support more government supports economically and less government intervention socially.

Sue the State under 42 USC 1983 for an injunction under GRANHOLM v. HEALD https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/03-1116.ZS.html
Although the revenue from this scam will far outweigh the attorneys’ fees that the Arizona will have to pay.
Just goes to show you, it’s not the letter beside the name (R) or (D). They’re all the same when it gets down to it.
Except they’re NOT all the same. It’s just that you can’t look at the letter and think you’re done.
The Arizona government was probably appalled to discover that anyone in the state drinks wine rather than tequila.
