Why don't you cite the whole reg.
Section 4.72.1 of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Act prohibits the transportation of more than three gallons of distilled spirits purchased from a state government store, provided, however, that not more than one gallon thereof shall be in containers containing less than one fifth of a gallon. If any part of alcoholic beverages being transported is contained in metric size packages the three gallon limitation shall be construed to be twelve liters, and not more than four liters thereof shall be in packages smaller than three-fourths of a liter.
So in other words, you have to buy an obscene amount of booze. Or about 20 750ml bottles. Pretty easy law to get around.
