It's a toss up as long as you drink both of them straight.

[Required tax content] and pay the use tax on them when you bring them home.

It never occurred to me that purchases made at a duty-free
store were subject to use tax.

Don't know about your state, but NY wants its cut. You bought it without
paying sales tax and brought it into the state.

(Unless of course you're talking about cigarettes from the reservation smoke
shop. We don't try very hard to collect those taxes.

American Indians deserve our support - afterall they have
been fighting terrorism and illegal immigration since 1492.

Purchases at duty-free shops are presumed to be purchased for use in a
foreign country -- since in order to buy duty and tax free, you must
be leaving the US, generally for at least 48 hours. If you bring your
purchases back to your home state on your return to the US for use
there, you're generally subject to the use tax, since you didn't pay
sales tax on the original purchase.

The duty-free stores generally won't tell you that.
