We are thrilled to see @POTUS' Truth Social post and thank him for his leadership on this issue. The removal of the 10% tariff on UK whisky would be a major victory for American hospitality businesses that are deeply impacted by international trade: https://t.co/GAr0ht0iFp

#DYK that in many states across the U.S., spirits-based #RTDs are taxed higher than RTDs made with malt and wine?

This unfair tax disparity forces consumers to pay more for their favorite products and prevents local producers from entering the booming category! Join @SpiritsUnited to sign up as a #SpiritsAdvocate to help us advocate for fairer tax laws: https://t.co/v9054Jc52P #TaxDay

🚨 17x higher taxes. Same ABV.

Spirit-based ready-to-drink cocktails in #Maryland are unfairly taxed — and it’s hurting local producers and consumers. Let’s fix it!

Ask your legislators to support fair #RTD taxes: https://t.co/wzPxf7kvcP

In #Maryland, spirits-based #RTDs are taxed 17x higher than beer-based RTDs with the same alcohol content.

This excessive tax burden doesn't just hurt consumers, but also hurts local #MD craft producers. Ask your legislators to lower taxes on RTD cocktails today: https://t.co/WPAbP2M5UT

#Iowa residents deserve to have spirits shipped to their door, just like wine!

Urge your legislators to support HF 2354 and SF 245 to increase consumer convenience, support Iowa distillers, boost tourism to the state and more ➡️ https://t.co/SDlPjcIWVS #DTCshipping #DTC

#CO residents, LAST CALL to take action to urge your legislators to oppose the job killing tax increase proposed in HB26-1271!

Take action now before the hearing⬇️ https://t.co/FC7chMprq7

[Spirits United @SpiritsUnited]

There are now TWO tax bills threatening #Colorado's hospitality industry and spirits consumers like you! If both pass, then there is a 1️⃣6️⃣0️⃣% increase in alcohol taxes at a time when these businesses - and consumers - can least afford it!

ACT NOW and tell legislators that now is not the time to raise taxes on #CO businesses and consumers ⏩ https://t.co/R7Mr8WgYea

#DYK: In Colorado, 43% of a typical spirits bottle sold already goes towards a tax or fee of some kind, and legislators are working to INCREASE that number.

This rise would result in higher prices for consumers, lost sales for local retailers AND an elimination of Colorado jobs.

Ask your legislators to oppose the job killing tax increase proposed in HB26-1271: https://t.co/xzWD6puFTK

[Spirits United @SpiritsUnited]

It is time to ask your #WestVirginia legislators to support spirits-based #RTDs because...

✅Lowering the tax rate helps your wallet while allowing local distillers to enter this booming category
☑️Allowing RTD cocktails in grocery stores would be more convenient for you, and help West Virginia craft distillers sell more of their products.

Act now: https://t.co/SxCDb4awuy

[Spirits United @SpiritsUnited]

#SouthCarolina residents, wouldn't it be nice to be able to purchase your favorite spirits products on Sundays?

Act now and urge your #SC legislators to act now and hear a bill to #BootTheBan on #7DaySales! https://t.co/QB9yvok26a

[Distilled Spirits Council of the United States @DistilledSpirit]

Today, we testified before the #Maryland House Ways and Means Committee today in favor of HB 736, a bill to reduce the tax burden on consumers and businesses by lowering the tax rate for spirits-based ready-to-drink cocktails (#RTDs).

Currently, spirits RTDs are taxed 17 times higher than beer and wine RTDs even though they have the exact same or similar amount of alcohol. We urge the #MD legislature to act now and ensure fair taxation: https://t.co/vRfjJ2hCib

[Spirits United @SpiritsUnited]

The #MD House Ways and Means Committee will be holding a hearing TODAY on HB 736, a bill to lower the tax rate on spirits-based #RTD cocktails.

#Maryland residents, encourage your legislators to support the bill NOW before the hearing: https://t.co/An8hjWUZAS

[Spirits United @SpiritsUnited]

#Marylanders, DYK that your favorite spirits ready-to-drink cocktails (#RTDs) are being taxed 1️⃣7️⃣ TIMES HIGHER than beer RTDs with the same alcohol content?!

Unacceptable! Take action now and ask your Reps to lower taxes on spirits-based RTDs to support small businesses and increase consumer choice: https://t.co/WPAbP2M5UT

[Spirits United @SpiritsUnited]

Allowing spirits to be sold 7️⃣ days a week & shipped directly to consumers homes not only supports local businesses and spirits producers, but also is super convenient for spirits lovers!

#Mississippi residents, urge your legislators to ban these outdated laws NOW: https://t.co/h7B5ul9h6r #BootTheBan #7DaySales
