AL Senate 30-0 vote to ban kegs
 

Senator seeks to tap out keg beer

Long considered a requirement at college social functions, the beer keg may soon be going the way of the dodo, if state Sen. Bobby Singleton has anything to do with it.

Singleton, D-Greensboro, who admitted to enjoying his share of keg beer at fraternity functions when he was at Alabama State, has sponsored a bill in the Alabama Legislature that will outlaw retail sales of the high-volume beer barrels.

Singleton said he's become one of Montgomery's most-called lawmakers since introducing the bill in the state Senate last week. The Senate passed the measure 30-0.

"I probably got the first 10 calls from my fraternity brothers," the 1984 Alabama State graduate, a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, said. "They weren't real happy, but this is about looking at the big picture, what's responsible and what's the right thing to do."

I'm glad I don't live in Alabama.

I think your safe in Canada buddy, you guys hold your beer to be very sacred. I'm a stones throw away from the border and I try to stop by as much as I can. You can't buy Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale here in the states so I have to cross the border to get my fix. They also started selling absinthe at the bars there now too......God I love Canada!
