It's a Sin

 

[landshark]

Yeah, it's illegal there. Kind of like running a still. Or running a shop dedicated to crack cocaine..... Well. Only in Alabama.

What b.s. I almost moved to Alabama once. Glad I didn't.

Probably cause most folks down in Bama have brew kettles that also function as pot stills. :rockin:

"In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around it
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains"

I think I been to the big rock candy mountain. 😉

This is why people need to start taking an active stance against all of this BS. Pretty soon they wont be able to even make bread because there are traces of ethanol in the dough. hope for a pizza in AL? You have to go to the next state. Wont be able to purchase bakers yeast.

Reason 1 out of 187,963,221 reasons not to live in that state.

I feel sorry for everyone living there who has to deal with that BS.
