Gee, would I turn down a free Bud or Miller? No, its good for killing slugs. But would I drink it? Hell no.

[SteveMcKing]

Another "permission" for freedom.


Oh, thank you, government!


I never knew we had the basic right to such things!

"Free beer? Viva life!"

Alcohol is bad for you, like tobacco. Results in many deaths, and higher health care costs.

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

[Billthedrill]

"Free beer." The juxtaposition of two of the noblest words in the English language. "Free." "Beer." (Doffs hat, holds over heart...)

[SIDENET]

The beer company says it will conduct only small educational tastings about new beers.

Education...WOOHOO!

Aw nuts, I moved out of Cali too soon!

I guess they aren't planning on offering free "cigarette tasting" during the Happy Hours, sponsored by Liggett-Meyers or R.J. Reynolds?

Hmph...I thought not...

"What is the reason behind giving someone 8 ounces of beer free? One could argue that with wineries, each winery is different and every bottle is different depending on age or season. But we're talking about beer here."

Apparently Senator Teetotaler has never been to a microbrewery/restaurant. They might have half a dozen brews from among every major style (lager, stout, etc.) on tap. A shot-glass of four different samples is your eight ounces.

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.

[EricT.]

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

[Uncle Hal]

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.
