Alabama Governor Riley has signed HB373 into law! Isn’t that awesome?!

…

Oh, you don’t know what that means.

Alabama law previously outlawed any and all beer with an above 6 percent alcohol content. This limited unfortunate citizens of the state to nothing stronger than a Budweiser.

With the passage of legislative measure HB373, that limit has been raised to 13.9 percent. We can drink foreign and microbrew beer now!

(Of course, we could already legally drink hard liquor and wine, both of which contain more alcohol per serving, but let it never be said that Southern law was based on practicality.)

The state owes a special thanks to Free The Hops, a netroots organization that helped bring the issue to public attention and get the measure passed once and for all. Gentlemen, feel free to take Monday off.

In Other News:
Dildos are still illegal in Alabama because they are the disembodied penises of Satan, wantonly giving our wives and girlfriends those “orgasms” we keep hearing so much about.
