I’m so glad I’m no longer in Washington state. In the space of a week Evergreen voters rejected two ballot measures that would have removed the state government’s monopoly on the sale of liquor to the public, & the State Liquor Board has banned the sale of alcoholic energy drinks.
I don’t get either—except that they’re both indicators that the population that considers themselves the vortex of intellectual activity also clearly thinks that Government Knows Best, & that the intellectual achievers are too stupid to make rational choices about booze.
But the energy drink thing just doesn’t make sense. Apparently if you want to buy a Red Bull & vodka you’re jake; or if you order up a Colt 45, no problem; if you want a caffeinated alcopop you’ll have to go to Idaho.
Really—you just can't make this stuff up.
