[Its a Culture War]

This is the last straw. First they take my Baby Jesus from the front of City Hall. Now they're coming after my beer.

From my COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!!!

This man is obviously not a beer expert and has never picked up a last minute 12-pack on the way to the golf course (for the front 9)!!!

Serious drunks will drink their beer warm. I've seen them.

Welcome to FR, for what will no doubt be a short stay.

Grocery stores are at fault for the obesity problem. Their sale of already prepared food makes it to easy for people to immediately consume the food, thus getting fat. There is no reason other than ease of immediate consumption that stores sell already prepared food. It must be stopped!

A week or two ago I was having a hard time finding "cigar-friendly" lounges ... in LAS VEGAS, of all places.

"The only reason why beer would need to be cold is so that it can be consumed right away," Alter, who has been a police offer for more than 20 years, said Thursday.

Yea idiot. So you can consume it right away in the privacy of your own home and not have to cool it.

This is so funny. A grade school kid came up with this hair brained idea. Of course our politicians run with it.

Next, ice, and coolers will be outlawed.

Time to switch to Jack.

Ever have a party and forget to buy beer until the last minute? I can think of many reasons to buy cold beer, none of which include drinking it in the car.

I'm VERY against drinking and driving, more so than most, but this is a ridiculous law.

[YouPosting2Me]

I think cigarettes should be sold as a filter, paper and tobacco to be assembled later. By selling them 'ready-to-go' we are encouraging people to smoke while driving.

/sarc.

To be followed up by: Rolling cigarettes while driving is more dangerous than talking on a cell phone and thus should be outlawed! (don't even get me started on coffee)

I declared war on beer a long, long time ago. I keep killin' 'em but there's always more.

[Psycho_Bunny]

So....if such a law were passed, there would be a cooling off period for beer?

[kemathen7]

Hell, why don't they just create a 7-day waiting period before being allowed to purchase a beer? You know, have people think about what they are doing. Make sure they really want it.

[varyouga]

Welcome. And thanks for sharing an interesting article.

What a maroon! This would also mean the end of the "beer run" at halftime, when all the beer the host provided has run out. Idiot!

[JesseJane]

Guess they'll have to stick to crack to get Democrats to the voting booth. Warm beer won't cut it.

[generally]

There is nothing immoral or illegal or dangerous about selling cold beer vs. warm beer.

How about some intelligence in the legislature? If you're trying to prevent drunk driving, then pass (and enforce) laws against it. Don't pass laws about the temperature of the beer or the packaging of the beer or the time of day of the sale of the beer or any other peripheral or ridiculous factor that has nothing to do with the crime you're trying to prevent.

I'm embarrassed to be in the same political party with this creature.

[Glenn]

Couldn't they just add an extra 50 cent tax/bottle of chilled beer to help all the widows and orphans?
