      As one of only eighteen "control states," Michigan's involvement in liquor sales is significantly greater, and more profitable, than in the majority of states.  In fact, since the repeal of prohibition, Michigan has made billions of dollars through its involvement in the sale of liquor.  None of this would have been possible without the involvement of the Michigan Liquor Control Commission ("MLCC").  It is this Commission that controls licensing, enforcement, and the flow of hard liquor within the state.
The Michigan Liquor Control Commission

The Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) was created upon the repeal of Prohibition by the legislature acting in special session in December of 1933.  The act creating it empowered the Commission to control all alcoholic beverage traffic within this state.  The Commission consists of five members appointed by the Governor.  The mission of the Michigan Liquor Control Commission is to make alcoholic beverages available for consumption while protecting the consumer and the general public through regulation of those involved in the sale and distribution of these alcohol beverage products.
