[Avodah] Selling whiskey/bourbon (Micha Berger)

[Zev Kleiner]

Seems to me that not selling chametz gamur is a straightforward and
satisfying way of being mekayem "Tashbisu". If it involves hefsed
meruba, than one should take advantage of  mechira since you get
involved in avoidable baal tashchis which you may want to offset against
the mitzvah of Tashbisu. But if doesn't involve hesfsed meruba, why not
simply "get rid of it"-Tashbisu? I don't see it as being a judgment on
the efficacy of the mechira. It's simply a clean, straightforward option
to the fulfillment of this mitzvah, as valid as the mechira option.
