Evidently, the city of Seattle has created a new, vague entity known as an “alcohol impact zone“, which amounts to little more than a justification to ban — yes, ban — the sale of certain types of alcoholic beverages. To-wit:

The list of banned beverages includes cheap malt liquors, including Steel Reserve, Olde English 800 and Colt .45, and fortified wines such as Cisco and Thunderbird.

They’re not even trying to hide the discriminatory purpose behind this ordinance: “Supporters of the ban say those products are favored by homeless alcoholics who cause problems in city neighborhoods.”

Nothing like picking on drunks too broke to afford an attorney.
