No Cold Beer Here

State Senator Bill Alter wants to ban the sale of cold beer in supermarkets and convenience stores. His thinking is that it would cut out the temptation to pop open a cold one in the car, thus reducing drunk driving. The idea was suggested to him a fifth-grader who was learning about state government. Stores that sold cold beer would risk losing their liquor licenses.

I don't drink anymore, so it won't affect me, but when I did, beer was my beverage of choice, and there was nothing worse than a warm beer. In this part of the country, where a cold beer is almost a birthright, most of my callers are outraged by the proposition. Add your comments below.
