Everytime I get the same thing. They always ask, I always declare, I'm usually "over" They ask me if I'm returning to Wa. State, I say yes
(sometimes a small fib........I do eventurally) They then tell me to remember next time, 1 liter. per person, kids included........ go figure?
Mean people suck!

Terry, after they eased up on me, I decided to engage for my educational purposes and potential future crossings with wine. I did not get
clarification on hard liquor, but, I'm guessing(iknowiknow) that it's "alchohol" in general.
In Mesquite, NV and will be in Denver for happy hour 2nite. cheers

California ABC page
Non-California residents crossing the international border in a vehicle that is not a common carrier can bring with them a reasonable quantity of
alcoholic beverages (up to five cases or 60 liters) provided the beverages are for personal or household use. Section 23661 of the CA Business
and Professions Code
Due to my Colorado driver's license and conversations this week, I have several new friends. cheers

That's interesting, Doc, that the feds at the border would have regulations that are influenced by state law. They sure arn't that generous when it
comes to marijuana.

Dennis, no, I'm not going to test Colorado's new weed law at the border anytime in the near future.
Perhaps a Nomad legal type can tell us how a Fed operation(CBP) can have jurisdiction on state(in this alcohol topic = California) law. Seems like
Cal's wine lobby has done lots of lobbying to get the 1 liter limit enforced.
