Beer buzz would get a big boost from GOP bill | The Columbus Dispatch

Surely you can admit that it is a tad odd that the senator sneaked the change into a budget bill rather than introducing a specific bill to change Title LXIII.
Some of my favs come from the west coast, e.g. Arrogant **** from CA, the Rogue beers, ales, porters, stouts from OR, etc.
Due to the high cost and alcohol level, a host/hostess may split a bottle or more among friends at his or her home. Our son hosted a small group in Feb and the beer cost as much as a decent wine for the 750 ml bottle.
I would not have a problem forbidding its distribution in Ohio and allowing the micros to brew it for R&D and shipping to other jurisdictions, thereby enabling the micros to enhance return on their brewing investment.
One problem that has been around since formation of our state is that secondary schools do NOT teach their students how to drink beverages containing alcohol and how to moderate the pharmacokinetics of ingested alcohol for their respective situations.
For a quick powerful buzz, one can try David Sherman's 190 proof (95%) Everclear !
Decades ago, some navy chaps tried a few ml of medicinal ethanol infused directly in to one of the men's veins. They were concerned for a few days until after he recovered from his coma.:-)

No logical argument will convince the alcohol-fearing know-it-alls that this proposed increase in abv for beer won't have any effect on the number of dui's, drunk drivers, people killed by drunk drivers, "morality" or anything else. As usual, these fearful, puritanical, ignorant people want to impose their narrow-minded, ill-informed opinion and fears on everyone else. Choosing to live in fear must be a drag. Maybe these people are the ones who would really benefit from drinking a higher alcohol beer. Loosen up a little! Live a little bit! Take that stick out of your rear end!

Increasing the alcohol percentage doesn't make the beer taste better. I don;t see how this appeals to anybody but young kids who are underage and drunks. What ever happened to M.A.D.D? Why aren't thei screaming about this?

Are you kidding me??? Seriously dude?! SERIOUSLY?? I take it you haven't tried ANY high ABV beers in your life and are just mindlessly spewing **** from your fingertips? That or you have a very under developed pallet. Just a few 12% or higher beers that you can get in Chicago and that are incredibly tasty are: Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree, Goose Island Bourbon County Stout and Founders Devil Dancer. I could go on and on. A higher ABV beer, if done correctly (which can be very hard for even a fine brew-master), can make a high quality cellarable beer that with the complexity of a fine wine. Just because you have the pallet of an 18 year old swill drinker doesn't mean the rest of the world does. Oh, and this absolutely does not apply to underage kids and drunks. All the craft beer drinkers I know are in their late 20's to early 50's and have very responsible drinking habits. They are the only people who are going to fork out the money on these high ABV beers. Underage kids and drunks are going to go for easy drinking beers like bud light or simply liquor that they can mix with stuff like pop or juice. High ABV beers are generally quite expensive, rare, limited, sought after by beer collectors, and something you would spend your money on to savor and sip slowly. No offence man, but you are sheltered and need to expand your horizons a bit (a lot).
