Cheers! Ohioans downed an amazing amount of liquor last year.
The Ohio Division of Liquor Control says sales for everything from tequila to whiskey hit $1.57 billion, jumping 19% from the previous year. Meanwhile, 16.7 million gallons of liquor were sold, up 10%.
Those numbers historically grow year over year, but the percentage increases were the largest in a decade and came at a time when the coronavirus pandemic hampered drinking at bars and restaurants. We don t have anything else to do but sit up home and have a few drinks and stay away from all this COVID and sick people, Amber Pryor of Canton said last week as she picked up bottles of Rémy Martin Green 1738 and Jose Cuervo at Rocky s Wine and Beverage, 3616 Cleveland Ave. SW in Canton Township.
