Tennessee legislature introduces bills to limit sales of high-ABV beer
On Wednesday, a bill was introduced that requires the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission to limit the amount of “certain high alcohol content beverages” that a liquor store can sale to a customer in one day. The bill would also require the ABC to limit the amount of “certain high alcohol content beverages” that can be sold to a bar patron in a single day.

I love these laws. Home to whiskey, which is generally 80 proof at a minimum, but yeah, barleywines are the real problem. I would seriously like to hear a rational explanation from the retards that put this bill together. It seems as though beer will always have this stigma attached to it though.
Moonshine is still okay though.
