Kegs don't cause crime.
Clymers drinking too much from kegs do!

Next thing you know, there will be required taggant additives in the beer, so when you piss on the sidewalk they can track you down.

come and get it

Maybe its just me, but I've never heard of a keg induced drinking death.

Now liquor, yeah, plenty.

Rep: Boys, the newspapers are saying there is a problem with college students drinking. What we need is a catch phrase:
Rep: How about "binge drinking"?
Rep: Brilliant. Now we need an empty gesture to show the public we are sincere about fixing the problem. Nothing concrete. We don't want to eat this thing on Election Day.
Rep: How about a billboard?
Rep: How about a commercial?
Rep: How about a Pudding Wrestling Math with the cheerleaders?
Rep: How about a sticker to put on kegs?
Rep: Brilliant. Our work is done. Who wants to go fleece a taxpayer?
Reps: Oooh. Oooh. Pick me. Pick me!

I'd never thought about or heard of (where've I been?) keg ID before, but it sounds like good idea to me.

How do you feel about wrist tattoos?

Hey, here in Wisconsin, you start off with beer, then tequila, brandy, schnapps, whatever, then engage in practically anything guaranteed to get your name in the papers. Plus, we start in high school. Besides, here it is a cultural thing, so this law would be hate speech.

Well, maybe it was a regional thing but I can recall liquor stores recording numbers from a keg, tap, and license of the person purchasing the beer. In that case, my understanding is because they wanted their tap and keg back – not so much to “track” who purchased it (unless they bailed out with their equipment).

I recall that it was a $50 deposit for tap and $50 for the keg (plus the plastic ice bucket/garbage can).

I have no idea what their real value was, but they seemed more interested in getting their empty keg and tap back than keeping your $100. That could’ve been some sort of ID put on by the distributor or something, I suppose.

But if they fail the Keystone Kops kan keep kontrol of the kegs.

[Fido969]

I hate it when the State Legislators are in session.

[trebb]

And how would they prove that an individual imbibed from a certain keg?????

[cksharks]

Since he is a demmocommie he had to have drank like a fish and consumed a lot of drugs. So from the tone of the bill we can rest assured he bought drugs and alcohol when he was young, Thus arrest that p---k. YOU HAVE SOMEONE OF AGE BUY THIS . What a loon.

He's a deep thinker, ya know:

I remember the Monkees' song from the 1960s, "Pleasant Valley Sunday," about living in the suburbs, backyard parties and barbecues.That is what I tried to be 40 years ago. Much earlier in my life, I wore cowboy boots and had a belt with a large buckle. The neighbors would kid me and call me "Tex." I guess I wanted to be a cowboy then. I still wear cowboy boots and a belt with a big buckle. Maybe that is my identity. -GARY LINDSTROM

You know, more than 90 percent of murders are committed by a family member? -Rep. Gary Lindstrom

Ya think?

It usually happened a couple of times a year at the University of Wisconsin - death solely from too much beer. However, deaths from people drunk on beer doing stupid things were far more common, like falling off of balcony ledges or trying to climb walls.
