Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board News
The Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board approved a five-percent increase in the state mark-up on liquor, raising it from 30 percent to 35 percent. This decision is projected to generate an additional $8.2 million in revenue, which will be allocated to District Attorneys and the Unified Judicial System. The proposal was presented as an alternative to raising sales tax on spirits in certain counties.
