Is it time to break up Virginia's liquor monopoly?
Channel: Adam Smith
Date: 2015-11-05

Virginia's state government owns and runs all liquor stores in the state, and bans supermarkets and other private stores from stocking any hard liquor to sell to the public. As a result, Virginia has some of the most highest liquor prices in the United States and has just one fifth as many liquor stores per capita as the national average. 

In this video, Sam Bowman speaks to Virginians about their system and asks whether it's finally time to get over this hangover of prohibition. This video was entirely filmed on an iPhone over the course of a day.
