Here is a real kick about the “6-pack” law. It is supported by M.A.D.D – you know them as Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

They claim the case law forces people to buy more beer and thus have more on hand instead of buying the amount they want.

Gotta love a law that has the support of the industry and M.A.D.D.

Nice picture ;^)

Anyway, it really only makes sense, I would assume for everyone except for maybe the distributors who have locked in deals. They probably have more pull (more money) and that’s where the kink is. Or possibly some neo-prohibitionist bull-shit holding it up. Whatever, smaller beer sizes at more convienient places only makes sense, period.

buy ONE SINGLE BOTTLE from a convenience store,

As I said above, I don't even need that level of beer-everywhere-ness. I would just like the ability to purchase a smaller amount and at a reasonable cost. The problem with "beer-everywhere-ness" is that it really only gets BudMillerCoors out there. Sure, you will find a favorite local brew sometimes, but not without an adventure. On the note of BudMillerCoors, Beer-Armageddon is close: Merger for SABMiller and Molson Coors - NYTimes

“Although it has a ways to go before becoming law, the measure could make it possible for consumers to easily pick up a six-pack virtually anywhere in the state.”

It’s about freakin’ time! I couldn’t believe that I moved from a state where you could buy ONE SINGLE BOTTLE from a convenience store, which are easily found everywhere, to a state where you can only buy a case and have to search out a beer store.
