The Montgomery County government monopoly liquor stores have stopped selling Russian-made spirits, the County announced in a press release on Sunday. Since the County is the only entity that can sell liquor in the jurisdiction, it is an effective ban on the sale of all imported Russian liquor products in Montgomery County "until further notice." The County statement indicated the move was "[i]n solidarity with the people of Ukraine." It is only one of many jurisdictions around the country attempting to boycott Russian products following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Shortly after the ban was issued, individual Montgomery County establishments began announcing they were dropping Russian vodka from their cocktail menus. Montgomery County-operated liquor stores will continue to sell alternative vodka brands such as Smirnoff (manufactured in Illinois, despite the name), Ciroc, Tito's, Absolut, Svedka, Grey Goose, SKYY, Ketel One, and New Amsterdam, the County press release said.

So glad that the County finally found virtue on something....
The utter hypocrisy of releasing oil from the SPR instead of actually increasing domestic production a sufficient amount to lower prices, all while continuing to import oil from Russia while pouring out Russian vodka.
I'd love to see MoCo stand on firm principle to say "No Russian Sourced Oil For MoCo", but they won't.
Ridiculous
Biden is importing billions of gas from Russia so selling vodka is not hurting anyone
Ask why Biden stopped USA pipeline and made us dependent on Russia ? What is “Hunter Biden”
