I can just see something like this being implemented on ‘fatty foods’.

RIFIDS for kegs alert!

>>>>that deposit would be forfeited if the keg is not returned with the keg registration seal attached.

Look at you with the wisecracks so early in the morning!

Happy 4th Frithguild :)

What? No 3-day waiting period?

Under a bill Turner is sponsoring all kegs that are sold by retailers to consumers would have to be affixed with a keg registration seal which displays a registration number and the name of the licensee offering the keg for sale to the consumer.

IOW's, Shirley Turner's no-good brother-in-law needs a gubmint job.

Meanwhile, budding brain surgeons will soon learn how to transfer product from a registered keg into one of the unregistered ones laying in the basement of the frat house, brew their own, or request their product in bottles and/ or cans. Could be that vinters are smiling?

More Nanny Statism. Then what?

"Mr Kennedy... By our records here, throughout your college years while in the fraternity 'Tappa Kegga Brew' you purchased (referencing notes) 79 kegs of beer, 132 Beer Bongs, 54 quarts of Jack Daniels, 17 quarts of Grey Goose Vodka, 33 quarts of Chivas, 228 packs of 'rolling papers', and 1 'SloGin Fizz Mix'. You failed to return 7 kegs and 18 beer bongs. And now you're asking for a 'new liver.' I just don't see how we can trust you with it..."

"In our colleges, particularly the frat houses, many kids are dying from binge drinking . . . ."

In other words, "we must make it harder to buy beer, because people are dying from drinking liquor."

Perhaps the legislature might want to address the flight of high-achieving tax payers due to over taxation.

Nah. The more of us that leave...the less creative they need to be with elections.

First they came for the binge drinkers....

Don’t forget, they is a proposal out there to track baking soda purchasing too.

I’m more annoyed with that then I am about kegs. I’ve never bought a keg in my life.

But I see the same methodology in waiting for fatty food purchasing.

Why would they want to track baking soda?

What a riot! Thanks for the links.

I was wondering about that - last I heard, the used keg was worth more as scrap than the required deposit.

Obvious solution - raise the deposit amount!

Obvious to you and me, but we're not from the government.................
