Too Much of a Good Thing?


It is banned in 13 states. The folks behind Samuel Adams beer are releasing a beer with 27 percent alcohol. If that doesn't scare you off, maybe the $150 a bottle will. According to the AP Alabama and West Virginia recently passed laws to allow higher alcohol content in beer. Lawmakers in Iowa and Mississippi are considering similar legislation.

Surprisingly MADD isn't too upset. Chuck Hurley, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving said "Right now, we're reserving judgment." Basically they only want the stuff to be properly labeled and not marketed to kids. I think the $250 price tag took care of that.
