Wonder which one of the reps who pushed these bills forward owns liquor stores or has stakes in distribution companies.

What possible good reason to further restrict businesses that are actually thriving in RI? Other than to line some old timers pockets because they can't adapt.

This puts breweries at parity with wineries and distilleries. They turned an advantage into a thriving industry, now they can play by the same rules.

Don’t like it, lift the rules and everyone can own their distribution.

We deserve this exception because… is not a compelling argument here, especially when OP is warning about how this could gasp lead to sales in gas stations and grocery stores!
