They want the government out of their lives, but then put an alcohol % cap on their beers. (Alabama 6%; Georgia 14% cap; Mississippi 6%; Oklahoma 4%abv; W.Virginia 6%.) It's the reason that the south can't put together a decent beer culture. Also, isn't it ironic that Kansas has some of the most restrictive alcohol laws and Missouri has some of the most lax, and they are right on each other's borders.
