Beer on the radio - nationwide

NPR on Wednesday aired a segment on the effort to lift Alabama's 6-percent alcohol by volume beer limit, on its All Things Considered program. The report was by WBHM's Tanya Ott.

It's a good, basic overview of the issue. Rev. Dan Ireland of ALCAP gets to say how afraid he is that expensive beer will get into the hands of Alabama teenagers. But that's quickly countered by Rep. Patricia Todd, who says teenagers are likely looking for the cheapest hooch available - just like she did when she was a kid (kudos for your reasoning and on your honesty, Rep. Todd).
