Virginia’s Archaic Beverage Commission

by Jacob Grier on March 22, 2009

Caleb Brown and Austin Bragg take on one of America’s most worthless regulatory agencies, the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control:

Previous ABC idiocy has included banning beer pong, banning (and later allowing) beer popsicles, banning sangria until the legislature passed a law specifically allowing it (but not other beer and wine cocktails), and shutting down a small wine shop for not racking up enough food sales to go with its by-the-glass pours.

ABC’s contributions to society include… um… I’ll get back to you on that.
