## Resource

North Carolina is considering a bold new move: setting a minimum price on liquor, sparking debate over public health, affordability, and legality. The ABC Commission is weighing the impact of a floor price on whiskey, vodka, and other spirits, after noticing suppliers undercutting cheaper drinks. While some see it as a way to curb harmful drinking, a majority of voters oppose it—fearing higher prices and hurting small businesses. Critics warn it could drive consumers to neighboring states and disproportionately affect budget-friendly brands. Public comments are open until July 29, with findings and recommendations due August 12. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
