"the study said that liquor sales at 497 outlets grew at a slower rate during the second quarters of 2004 and 2005, when the ban began to take effect, than they did during the same period in 2003 and 2004." read that again: liquor sales were up, they just didn't grow as fast as in years past. when that happens to target, they blame higher gas prices; when it happens at stub and herbs, they blame smoking bans. stupes.
