Anytime the tax on something common becomes outrageous, bootlegging, importing, and associated illegal activity increases. $40 for a 12-pack will encourage a lot of entreprenuers to make frequent beer runs to Evanston. I'm sure Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado and Arizona will be happy for the extra business and tax income.
