[QUOTE="OKRuss, post: 4294213, member: 41777"] This will be quick. Wife and I went out for dinner last night. Had a burger craving so went to Bricktown Brewery on South side since close to Hollywood Feed and Rio needed some grub. They have $9.95 any burger and fries so a pretty good deal and the burgers weren't bad. We each had one draft beer - $5.50 each or $11 total. When I got the tab and reviewed our order for a tip, I noticed the beer and wine tax was $2.45! 2.45/11 = 22.2%. WTF! I don't tip on the overall bill amount which includes taxes - only on the subtotal. I'm glad that they are required now to break out the liquor tax from the 8.75% sales tax so more are aware. Did some quick reading this morning and apparently it's still considered a "sin tax". While I like an adult beverage with my meals when going out, I think some of this has gotten out of hand. A draft been at Green Chile Kitchen in Yukon is $8. Add in the tax and it's almost $10 for maybe 14 oz. Damn near airport prices!
