Two Vermont Representatives, Chris Pearson (Progressive-Burlington) and Jean O’Sullivan (Democrat-Burlington) have introduced a bill to ban beverage alcohol in Vermont, which would remain in effect unless or until marijuana is legalized. Under the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, states are permitted to ban beverage alcohol. Kansas banned beverage alcohol until 1948, and Mississippi until 1959. See this story.
Just to be clear, what do they mean exactly by “beverage alcohol”?
The stuff that the 18th and 21st amendments to the constitution are concerned with. Those amendments use the term “intoxicating liquors”, which included beer and wine.
Wonderful news! Pornography and gambling must be next!
