Read with care

  • MLCC purchases are licensee acquisitions of spirits, not consumer retail revenue, profit, or consumption.
  • Drinking-age population includes residents age 21 or older who do not drink and excludes tourists and other nonresident purchasers.
  • Active-query membership is not identical to the status displayed on every returned AIMS row.
  • Business-linked coverage can exceed 100% when unlinked refund or adjustment rows reduce county net purchases.
  • County quota totals can conceal meaningful differences among individual cities, villages, and townships.
