| Message | We oppose this also. We should only allowed licenced vendors to sell alcohol, to ensure that only those with adequate precautions against selling to minors may sell. |

| Message | WTF? My proposal clearly states only adults can purchase and consume alcohol. Your point is invalid. |

| Message | Whereas with the current law, it is centered in prescribed stores. With this law, we are opening ourselves up to lack of oversight. |

| Message | Yeah right. Every bar and every liquor store now will have to apply for a license, bringing only more bureaucratic nonsense to stifle our economy. And what oversight are you thinking of? If the police finds out someone sold alcohol to minors they can fine him, or even close the shop for being in violation with the law.. You don't need to introduce no fancy "permit" system for that. |
