No offense meant, but I found Colorado the most depressing place to find alcohol
when I was there a few years ago. We went to a place in Longmont that seemed to be
an old grocery store. There were only 4 or five aisles of stocked shelves and there
was a pitiful selection. I am used to paying $21.95 (Cdn.) for a 36 oz. bottle,
and they were charging $23.95 (US). That was a shocker. A bottle of wine or a 6
pack of beer was $3 more than I am used to paying. And I had thought that our
prices were steep. It certainly made me appreciate our government run stores.

They are probably already doing a higher markup than most corner store items.
