Oh, and in a previous thread about this silliness, it was pointed out that the cab drivers are already carrying alcohol - in their gas tanks - because ethanol is grain alcohol... So, maybe they will have to go out of their way to find a gas station that is alcohol-free...

ROTFLMAO! I wouldn't be surprised if some of them do seek out none gasohol stations. If they can be found at all. (Just checked it is, Then there is the new 85% alcohol fuel...

You know the so called Whiskey Rebellion, was by corn farmers who thought it unfair to tax the alcohol they made from the corn they grew, while not taxing the corn grown by others closer to the market areas farther east.

Seems like the corn growers association, along with the beer and wine makers, would have something to say about such regulations... OTOH, they might just keep quite for fear that their offices and factories might be burned to the ground, or blown sky high as appropriate.
