Missouri senator wants warmer beer

The next time you grab a quart of Bud from your friendly Missouri stop-n-go, don't be surprised if it's warm as panther piss. A state lawmaker is trying to combat drunk driving by restricting how cold beer can be when it's sold at groceries and convenience stores. Senator Bill Alter feels that if beer is sold at temperatures of 60 degrees and warmer, people would be less likely to hop in their car and drink it. Apparently the idea came from a local fifth-grader participating in an educational program about lawmaking. Not surprisingly, a group of convenience store owners have come out against the proposed bill, as have other lawmakers.
