If you happen to be attending the AFC or NFC Championship game in Pittsburgh or Chicago (respectively) and planning on having a beer, smoking a cigarette, buying a new sweater or driving to the game (or any combination of these) you may be interested in this chart. It lists the sales, gas, beer, spirits, and table wine taxes in Pennsylvania and Illinois as of February 1, 2010. The data was compiled by Tax Foundation and I modified the chart to cater to today’s games.
