I used to live in Atlanta, Georgia, a city with lots of strip clubs and police that look the other way as girls openly sell themselves to guys in the parking lot.
I'm not the least bit surprised that the corrupt politicians there have closed door meetings to keep the well connected rolling in beer profits while screwing the beer drinking public and small entrepreneurs.
You think there's any chance the beer distributors provide campaign contributions and other goodies like Super Bowl tickets to key political figures?
In 2012, Georgia received the absolute worst score in the US for public integrity:

But since that time, my state, Pennsyvania, surged ahead of Georgia and is now ranked as among the most corrupt.
Ok my rant is ALMOST over, at least they are making some progress down in Dixie, and even up here, the ridiculous anti-alcohol regulations have been relaxed some what.
The founding fathers were all enthusiastic brewers, cider and wine makers, distillers and drinkers and didn't put freedom to make and sell alcohol in the BILL OF RIGHTS because GOD made yeast, fruit and grain all the other things needed for fermentation.
And Since GOD wants the people to be happy, GOD wants us to have alcohol (in moderation). Its a natural process and a GOD GIVEN RIGHT. They never would have thought that the USA would turn into a dictatorial nanny-state where rights like these would be infringed.
