Alabama struggles with bad beer laws, from alcohol Restrictions, to home brewing restrictions, to transportation restrictions, to size restrictions.

This isn’t just some theorhetical problem or a limit on sales, but an actually enforced law being used to throw people in jail, as we saw in Xaq Fixx’s post “Smokey & The Undocumented Immigrant“ earlier this year.

One of my favorite blogs to cover the politics of hooch in Canada, “A Good Beer Blog” makes a great suggestion to the Ontario government that should be heard just as loudly in North Carolina, Utah, and anywhere else with a state ran Liquor store: If the gov’t operate shop is so wonderful let it complete against privately owned and operated alternatives. Let the citizens vote with their dollars.
