South Carolina Pops the Cap
Finally! South Carolina has joined the rest of most of the states in getting rid of its antiquated 5% ABW (6% ABV) cap on beer. South Carolinans can now legally buy and drink beer up to 14% ABW (17.5% ABV). Beer must be approved by tight-ass government employees, but the bill’s now on the books.
This is almost worth a trip to Myrtle just to celebrate, though I’ll wait for the college students to disappear before buying a cheap ticket on Spirit. (In case you didn’t know, there are direct flights to Myrtle Beach from Boston—often for cutthroat prices!)
