The neoprohibitionists are getting bolder.
I predict a booming keg-sales business in neighboring states.
Ping.
You can have my tap when you pry it from my cold, dead hand.
They'll simply buy it by the case then you morons, or, go to a neighbor state to get the keg.
GD govt just can't stand people having too much fun.
Every day I wonder if the new WTCU will just go back to trying to ban alcohol outright again at some point. They've forgotten the lessons of Prohibition--maybe they'll forget the strategy they're using to reimplement it, too.
Beer nazis. Coming soon to every town in America... but, wait until they finish with the smokers first.
Alabamstan.
On a related note....
The number of teenager's signing up for the Community Ed class "Opening Aluminum Cans 101" has tripled.
Youth and foolishness being "outlawed". Screw these people. We live in this bizarre variant of Victorianism where they want to convince us that we should be giving kids condoms because, of course, "you can't stop them from screwing" while we're supposed to consider a kid with a beer and a cigarette some kind of freakin' "public enemy".
This screws over people with home taps as well. Amazing that one legislator didn't have the balls to stand up to this.
The cycle of modern life is to try to get away with all the fun you can and then spend the rest of your life making it illegal for your kids to do the same. Makes me embarassed to be an adult sometimes.
Same ole, same ole.
You have to dig deep to find its about REVENUE, not 'saving' anyone from anything!

Drinking age should be lowered to 19. That's partially the reason why college kids have these keg parties. They can get beer from anywhere and have friends who just turned 21 buy a bunch of beer cases at once. If the drinking age was lower, most of them would go out to bars and nightclubs and drink more responsibly.
What a bad idea. Kinda a weird, a Dem is sponsoring it. Hmmmmmmm....... The whole 21 and up for alcohol is a bad idea. The age should be lowered. It will combat binge drinking. When I was in college, I went to frat parties, but they were rarely keg parties though. They served beer in the can form and plenty of them. The ground was littered with beer cans during frat parties.
This bill is ridiculous. I lived in Germany for 4 years. Kids can drink Beer and Wine at 16. There are fewer alcohol problems there among teens than in the USA.
Granted I don't know the legal drinking age in Alabama, but I bet it's already above "teenager". There are probably also laws on the books against selling, serving or otherwise providing alcohol to underage people.
I don't think I could drink enough draft beer to get drunk.
More nanny government. They started out by pushing cigarette taxes through the roof "in an effort to stop teenagers from smoking." Sound familiar?
Slippery slope.
Did it reduce underage drinking? Not that anyone's noticed. They just drink out of a bottle or can now instead of a plastic cup.
It did stop adults from having a keg of beer at company barbecues and family reunions though. I'm sure the fools in the legislature got some satisfaction out of that.
