As is the case every year, there are a number of ballot questions in the MA election. The one that is getting the most press and is #1. Basically, it proposes allowing food stores to sell wine.

The con side says that it will lead to more underage drinking and will negatively impact drunk driving statistics. Below are the links to the two sites:
This is a tough one to judge. Both positions seem to have valid points.

The truth is probably somewhere between the two positions, but it is hard to discern where the reality lies.
