What is the Kroger policy on alcohol sales to visibly intox'd customers-we can't seem to agree in our store

When I was in the front end (I am now at Fuel) we were told that we had to sell the booze to the customer since we "are not law enforcement and can't tell if someone is drunk or not." I always have felt uncomfortable selling to these individuals since several years ago an intox customer came in bought a bunch of beer and hit 3 cars in our parking lot

 Follow your state's law regarding the sale of alcohol to someone who is intoxicated.  Most states don't allow it.  If you sell alcohol to someone who is obviously intoxicated and they cause an accident that leads to injury or death, you can be held responsible.  If it ever comes up again, call the manager and let him or her decide what to do.  If he or she says to sell it, sign your number out of the register and let the manager ring the purchase up.

 Not your concern. Youre there to do a job and thats cash people out not play judge jury executioner. Sell it to them and get lost whatever they do after is theirs and krogers problem not yours. Any pond scum associate tries to deny me getting my drink on Im just gonna take it and walk out.

There is a sales tax composed of a liquor tax and liter tax. The percentage can vary state by state. You could of also easily googled this.

Some states are complaining about going to this. However, it's sort of a wash. Some are cheaper while others are more expensive but not by a lot. It's sort of a wash. My state people complained up a storm about grocery sales liquor but It can some times vary to a wash.

 This sounds similar to our state's (Georgia) excise tax on cigarettes which is currently at .85 cents per pack. Customers just see the basic price of the smokes but I tell them it doesn't include the sales tax or excise tax. On a pack of a premium brand (say Marlboro or Parliament) it could push the price up to over $12.00.  Do other states impose an excise tax on cigarettes?
