[TenTec] [TenTec_Eagle] Re: Why is Eagle #2 on order?

[Michael OBrien]

At the risk of incurring the wrath of the moderator, let me just say that "3.2 beer" mainly is a legal technicality. 

The big American brewers were reluctant to invest in returning to making beer when Prohibition was lifted, for fear that the ban would be re-instated later. So Congress declared that beverages containing 3.2 percent or less alcohol are non-intoxicating. Therefore, should Prohibition return, breweries can continue to manufacture and sell 3.2 beer.

I don't believe that brewers today make much, if any, distinction between 3.2 and 5 percent.

Back to Ten-Tec radios now....

Or, as Archie Bunker once said, do you know what beer goes through us so
fast?  Because it doesn't have to stop to change color!

Most Light Beers are 3.2% ...... Bud Light, Coors Light and etc..... I
found early in life that I am Allergic to Alcohol. I break out Really
Bad.... In Fights, Jails, Car Wrecks and Hospitals. But we can still enjoy
a Cold Bud Light after some really hot yard work and such. My Grand Pa used
to say that good beer can't be bought, just rented a few minutes on its way
through...
