If there was ever an argument in a policy matter that was a load of hoo-haa it has to be this one:

Hours after the ruling, the head of Michigan's Liquor Control Commission, Nida Samona, said at a telephone news conference that she would urge the state's Legislature to prohibit all direct sales. Ms. Samona said she viewed such a measure as the best way to police sales to minors. By contrast, Gov. George E. Pataki, while also mentioning a concern about minors' access to wine, indicated his support for changing New York's law to open the state to direct shipment for all wineries. Speaking at a morning news conference, Mr. Pataki called the ruling "a plus for the wineries of New York," adding that "it's something I've thought is the right policy for some time."

You see the US Supreme Court just decided that state laws which restrict inter-state wine ordering was illegal has been argued against as an opening of a door to providing minors with access to wine. Because you know that minors find that ordering wines of out of state is the easiest way to get hot hands on hootch. Think about it. They need to have a credit card, buy by the case, afford buying by the case, have a taste for fine regional vintages, convince the courier guy when you sign for the shipment that you are not a minor, be able to hide the case from the folks and, best of all, plan about a week ahead for the big event. All far easier for a teen than giving the someone's older brother a twenty for a case of cans of cheap beer on a Friday night. So much easier.
