    Ohio Liquor Sales Hit Record High Again in 2010

    Congratulations, drinkers. You’ve helped our state by spending $742.7 million on 10.8 million gallons of liquor in the 2010 fiscal year. That’s an increase of $12.8 million over 2009’s total.

    A report released last week by the Ohio Department of Commerce provides some detail on how the state liquor sales revenue is broken down, which includes $167 million for Ohio’s General Revenue Fund, $35.9 million for the Ohio Department of Development to fund the state’s small business loan program, $14.9 million to the Ohio Department of Development for Clean Ohio Revitalization Bonds, and millions more toward a variety of other state programs.

    So next time you’re picking up that glass, remember… you’re funding small business loans, cleaning up the environment, and helping our state to dig itself out of a budget deficit. Cheers!
