Fact: Pennsylvania is also the single largest purchaser of alcohol in the world... Why? Because the state buys it and then resells it at a higher rate for profit. Thus, the added expense and strange regulatory laws.
But, all of that is in motion to change.
A state Senate committee approved a bill designed to give beer drinkers more options today. The bill, which passed the Senate Law and Justice Committee on a 9-1 vote, must still receive approval from the full House and Senate.
Under the bill, beer distributors could sell quantities as small as a six-pack - currently, the state's approximately 1,300 distributors must sell quantities of a case or more, the only law of its kind in the nation, according to Senate officials - and individuals the ability to buy three six-packs per person for take-out at bars. Present law allows only two.
The bill still has to be approved by the full House and Senate, but this is a small step forward for beer drinkers, and a giant leap for PennsyPimp-kind.
