House Approves Ban On 190-Proof Drinks

Lawmakers in Annapolis have taken a step to ban highly potent grain alcohol-based drinks.

Like the bill approved last month in the senate, the bill approved today in the House of Delegates bans alcoholic beverages more than 190-proof (95% alcohol).

These are grain alcohol drinks sold under brand names like EverClear and Gem Clear and they are popular with college students.

"College students like to use these drinks to get as drunk as possible, as quickly as possible and as cheaply as possible," said Molly Mitchell, president of the Maryland Coalition to Reduce College Drinking and Related Problems.

Wait just a minute! Not all of us actually drink this stuff. Some of us use it as a solvent and additive. Where will we get it now? Can't legally make it or buy it.
What lengths we go to to protect the stupid!

This does nothing to solve any problem. Period.

Anyone intent on getting drunk as fast as they can will chug a fifth of ANYTHING.

Congratulations, you have just joined the batch of idiots who believe background checks stop insane people from stealing guns and shooting people. You guys need to hook up!

6:52 Just make it yourself, it's easy. Far less criminal than what happens in Annapolis (Salisbury, Wicomico, Washington, etc), every single day.
