The economic recession hasn’t prevented Ohioans from spending money on booze. In fact… it sounds like it’s actually helping that sector of our economy.
According to an announcement released today by the Ohio Department of Commerce, liquor sales have reached a record high for the 2009 fiscal year. A total of $729.9 million was spent on spirits throughout the state of Ohio, a 4.6% increase over 2008 sales figures.
A total of 10.6 million gallons of spirtous liquor was sold in Ohio in 2009. Congratulations to everyone involved in helping to set this new record!
