The Bethel Bootlegger

Rural South-Western Alaska hub Bethel, Alaska voted for the community to go wet. Opening Alcohol sales in Liqour stores, Bars, Restaurants, and Clubs. Now seeking to opt back into damp status. Again leaving the community to purchase their alcohol from their friendly Neighborhood Bootlegger. From personal experience, it was easier to buy alcohol in Bethel when I was 15, than it was to get alcohol in Anchorage. I think I would rather see the City Council start squirming in their seats when the community turns dry than it is to be damp. It is irresponsible to put the 'Point of Sale' into unregulated, untaxed and often rich criminal hands.
