Kalinkin?
Who the hell imports THAT?
I’ve only SEEN one of those in my life... and I’d already been drinking Adams Stout most of the night, so I never got to try it.

Good gravy, 30-0??? That’s the most shocking thing: isn’t there one rep there with his head on straight? |

Hey, they banned Kegs at Washington State’s universities years ago. Now, along with all of the cans and bottles on the ground on Monday mornings, when a crowd gets out of control after the Big Game (which, admittedly, has been a while ago at the UW) there are all of these convenient bottles lying around to throw.
Note to politicians: Drunk fratboys can’t throw kegs very far. |

Well they could always institute or raise the bottle/can deposit.

Singleton said he proposed the bill in an effort to stop teenagers from drinking beer, which is already against the law. Gotcha. |

Uh oh... I better make sure that the sales guy I know in AL hasn’t slit his wrists yet. He’s got a home kegerator, and this would really harsh his buzz!
Luckily, I won’t have this problem with my kegerator here in Georgia, the "liberal" one amongst the southern states... |

Kegs were a staple when I was in college (few people drank hard al). About 10 years ago I went back for a homecoming and was amazed to see how many kids (Not allowed to have kegs) were carrying 5th’s around with them. It just seams in my experience that a Jack muscle is much bigger and stupider than a beer muscle. |

Easy to understand why the wholesale beer companies support this law - they keep selling kegs to high volume places like bars and restaurants, and all the ’kids’ who used to drink beer for $0.20 per cup are now buying it for $0.75 per can. They ’look’ good to the fools and pocket more money. Your government at work once again. |

The idea sounds pretty stupid.
Btw, why can’t the teenagers (or more precisely under-21s) drink beer at the bars or restaurants?Schast’ya i zdorov’ya! Счастья и здоровья! |

Luckily, I won’t have this problem with my kegerator here in Georgia, the "liberal" one amongst the southern states... How’s that anti-Kelo legislation coming in Georgia? Alabama has changed its statues to limit eminent domain and it now appears our "dumb-ass" Senators are going to make it a Constitutional amendment so future legislatures will have a harder time playing shenanigans with it.
Let’s just hope that Wal-Mart doesn’t take a shine to that plot o’ land that you have your kegerator planted on, eh? |

And BTW, our elected representatives may be boneheads, populists, and hypocrites. That much may be true.
But NONE of them is named Cynthia McKinney! |

Come on, you think this was "good legislation" that really needed to be passed, or was it feel good legislation which will have absolutely no effect and make absolutely no difference, but will give the incumbents something to point to and say "I’m trying to curb teenage drinking?"
And besides, we don’t have Mr. Roy "Ten Commandments on everything!" Moore running for governor. ;) |

That may be true, but a little Cynthia McKinney goes a long way!Come on, you think this was "good legislation" that really needed to be passed, or was it feel good legislation which will have absolutely no effect and make absolutely no difference, but will give the incumbents something to point to and say "I’m trying to curb teenage drinking?" Don’t see where I said otherwise, I was just making a point to Brad about glass houses, etc.
And besides, while it will probably won’t be large, there probably will be some effect on binge drinking by teenagers. If some commenters are correct, $.75/glass beer would, at least at the margins, result in less binge drinking of beer than $.20/glass beer. And where are teen drinkers other than at the margins?And besides, we don’t have Mr. Roy "Ten Commandments on everything!" Moore running for governor. ;) Ooooooooo. Hey , talk to me when he wins!

Ooooooooo. Hey , talk to me when he wins! Heh ... you’ll pine for the days you could take a shot at Cynthia McKinney (the most ineffective Congress person in the institution).And besides, while it will probably won’t be large, there probably will be some effect on binge drinking by teenagers. If some commenters are correct, $.75/glass beer would, at least at the margins, result in less binge drinking of beer than $.20/glass beer. And where are teen drinkers other than at the margins? Terry, I went to college 35 years ago. We never had keg parties and I never wanted for beer (and I was anything but monetarily well off). Keg parties are group efforts, which usually means a group money collection and, in the end, all the beer you can drink. Kids go for quantity no quality. It just means more Milwakee’s Best and less Budweiser.
I’m sorry, but I just don’t see this slowing anything down. |

As an alumnus of the Capstone (University of Alabama, BS Chemistry, 1979) keg parties were a dime a dozen (and usually there were a couple of dozen going on every week at least). Plenty of liquor flowed as well with rum & cokes being very popular.
WRT Judge Roy Moore, I might vote for him (if he’s the best of the bunch). I had no problem with his fight over a monument which was more than just the 10 commandments, btw, until the fight became about him instead of the monument. I felt bad for Bill Pryor, who was the AG at the time. That was a bad pickle to be in.
Alabama sucks less than my birthplace by a long shot. Yeah, Air Force brat, born in the District.
Bobby Singleton, Greensboro? Name’s familiar...I wonder if I worked with his dad or some other family member of his. That area is a part of the infamous Black Belt (named for the rich black soil) and is the least developed part of the state. I suspect some bootleggers are going to make a mint with that one.
Oh, yeah, canned and bottled Coors is very popular here too. (I remember people going to NOLA to get Coors back when you couldn’t buy it legally here ;).)

One other thing, who were the five abstainers? There are 35 state Senators and 105 state Representatives. Guess I’ll have to go to the state site to see if the vote was recorded. |
