Instead of giving it away for free, the libs should be banning it altogether.

Liberals will not ban something they can tax excessively. Besides, they need people to smoke and drink so that they might die before they start collecting Social Security.

It was jokingly referred to as the 'Free Happy Hour' bill (in the Capitol)...

How happy can ya get with an 8 ounce limit?
I'd be happier with freedom from these whackos in the legislature.

Sounds like someone's paving the way for a McCain campaign stop.

Alcohol is bad for you, like tobacco.

In certain cases and in appropriate amounts, it can be beneficial. For example, it can dilate the cerebral arteries in the elderly, improving brain function. Red wine, in particular, is noted for its health benefits.

You really should learn something about the subject, rather than just parroting the WCTU party line.

Well, I was being facetious. However, I don't think that it's the alcohol in red wine that is good for the arteries. It's the other stuff that's in the wine.

As I recall a few years ago the state banned a "Happy Hour", where bars were prohibited from offering free or discounted drinks to females to attract males to a bar. Or favoring one sex over the other in pricing drinks. Pretty soon we will not have any fun if the liberals have there way.
