All beer? Or just Corona beer? /s

“THE Bob Barr? Nothing better to do than write articles?”

Well sure, it’s not like he has ongoing investigations that he cares about, or laws to enforce.

Bring back Prohibition! If it saves just one life ...

FL has a Yuengling brewery now, I’m good

[Dr. Sivana]

I guess I can adjust to the new guidelines.

Well, if they get rid of all the fizzy yellow beers out there, then maybe it will be okay..

The Nanny State Is Coming After Your Beer

Look, I'm totally fine with the Nanny State (aka, Democrat Party Cabal) eliminating the Electoral College and the filibuster. I'm completely fine with them packing the Senate, the U.S. population, and the House, and I'm fine with their Court-packing, too. I'm fine with them shredding the Declaration & Constitution. I'm fine with them turning the country into the Unity Socialists of Amerika (USA).

But stop me from drinking my beer? That does it! Now it's Go Time!

You are thinking of Bill Barr. Bob Barr is a libertarian-leaning former congressman from GA. Was one of the House impeachment managers against Clinton.

I brew my own. So there’s that....

[1Old Pro]

The federal government’s Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) recently announced a plan to change long-standing, science-based alcohol consumption recommendations for adult males, reducing them by half down to just a single drink per day.

I only have one drink per day, it may be larger than allowed, but still only one :)

[nevergore]

Can’t be that Bob Barr (Atty Gen).....

States in the article his home state is Georgia

[madison10]

Thanks. LOL. Ran the name over in my head and it sounded right.

[discostu]

Does anybody actually care about DGAC? That’s always been one of those “we say stuff and nobody listens” parts of the government. School lunches are about the only thing that pays any attention to DGAC, and they already don’t serve beer.

MOLON LABE --> MOLSON LABATTS, eh?

[Mariner]

They won’t.

But they’ll make a run at tripling the cost via taxes.

Think cigarettes.

[Responsibility2nd]

The State can have all my beer. After I first filter it through my kidneys.

I’ll even step up to my local tax office and deliver it personally.
