Students Against Beer

In Des Moines yesterday, 100 students rallied in support of a keg registration law. The law would make it more difficult for people to buy kegs of beer. You have to reach a certain pinnacle of lameness to take part in a rally against people buying beer. It’s worth the obligatory mention that there are 18 year olds who are fighting murderous cults in Iraq, along with the usual mix of terrorists and militias, who cannot legally drink beer. It’s also worth pointing out that most people under 21 don’t have too much trouble getting alcohol and the result is binge drinking as the former President of Middlebury College pointed out several years ago. So those kids in Des Moines are rallying against drinking beer, they are also supporting bad public policy. They’re not just lame, they’re wrong too.
