Sean & John, get your hands off my Yuengling
Just as Pennsylvania was about to quietly let us buy beer in a few grocery stores, two state senators have gotten their panties in a bunch about the prospect. Does one get campaign funds from a beer distributor? You betcha.
According to the Post-Gazette, Sean Logan and John Rafferty say they are concerned about possible liquor sales to minors. Which hasn’t stopped 49 other states from allowing their residents to pick up a bottle of wine with their spaghetti, or a six pack with their burgers and buns.
There are only a few supermarkets — those with sit-down cafes — that would even qualify to sell beer and wine. Sean, John, could you get out of the way and let it happen?

The whole idea of a separate ‘beer distributor’ or ‘wine and spirits’ store is absurd. You should be able to purchase these things in any supermarket where they can check your ID at the checkout. It’s time to lay puritanism and teetotalers to bed once and for all.
