COLUMBUS — Ohioans spent a record amount on liquor in fiscal year 2008, the Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Liquor Control announced Wednesday, Aug. 20.

Spirits sales at Ohio’s 440 contract liquor agencies rose $25 million, or 3.7 percent, to a record high of $697.7 million in the fiscal year that ended June 30, state officials said.

And it wasn’t just because the booze was more expensive: Total gallons of spirituous liquor sold in 2008 was 10.3 million gallons, an increase of more than 143,000 gallons, or 1.4 percent, over fiscal 2007.

The state defines liquor as intoxicating drinks with alcohol levels of over 21 percent, or 42 proof.

The state controls liquor prices and collects taxes and fees. The liquor control division generated $298 million in fiscal 2008, including $167 million for the state’s General Revenue Fund, state officials said.
