It seems like it should be the opposite to me. If you want to buy beer at a grocery or convenience store and go home and drink it, you get weak stuff that will take 12 or more to get drunk. If you drive or go out of your way to an establishment it is even easier to go over the limit.
I feel like the only reason I would ever drink a low alcohol beer is if i planned on driving or wanted to just hang out and get home early.
You might think that Hickenlooper would have vetoed this considering his background.
Stupid law...
I'm on my way
They know how to drink. Other states, take notes.
Undoubtedly the result of some lobbying effort by someone representing the interests of the makers of high-alcohol content beverages. Some 4% beer company wants to use the goverent to shut down its 3.5% competitor, and some worthless liberal senator is all too happy to oblige under the ruse of consumer protection in exchange for some political favor.
Yes, I'm sure the guy seeking out a nice low alcohol Irish stout in the bar is going to walk down the street and buy a Michelob Light from a convenience store instead.
Makes a lot of sense.
Colorado also bans homeowners from collecting rainwater.
oooh, you're a quick one!

What's the lowest allowed stinky bud potency? Are they protecting their dope heads, too?
That story is from 11/28/2010. Why are you discussing it now?
This is bizarre. Isn't Colorado the home of Coors Light which has less alcohol than tap water?
It is illegal for a bar in Nebraska to sell beer unless it is simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup.
Go figure.

I'm not on Nebraska, but a nearby pub has 42 taps of craft beers and a kettle of free soup.

Coors light is above 4% & it has more alcohol than Guinness for all you beer snobs.
Colorado is a great state, but the laws according to that article do seem ridiculous. Bars can't sell weak beers and convenience stores can't sell strong beers? Let people decide for themselves where to buy food and drink!

Beeradvocate lists them both at 4.20%.
Regardless, I didn't realize they were that close.
Yeah, probably depends on what source you use. Realbeer has coors light at 4.2 & guinness at 4.0

It's not about ABV. It's about taste.
Guinness > Coors Light
