Google "state taxes + airspace + alcohol" and you will find several hits on
the subject (some of them rather old). New Mexico is far from being the new
kid on the block.

I guess the state of New Mexico believes it has jurisdiction over
overflying aircraft serving alcohol .

"ALBUQUERQUE - The bar is closed on US Airways' New Mexico flights.
The state ordered the airline to stop serving alcohol on flights to or
from New Mexico after learning that it didn't have a state liquor
license. ... They should not be selling alcohol while in New Mexico
airspace."

I wonder what the definition of "New Mexico" Airspace is. I didn't
realize NM had its own airspace.
