Blow to fixed gear riders in NC...
The state has decided not to allow sales of 190 proof grain alchohol any more.
They decided it has no redeeming social value.
I think it's an underhanded attack on the alley cat kool aid.

This really is a shame. It's a trend that's spreading around the country. I'm thinking of stocking up before the ban hits Iowa.

that must be their kids' version, as the same product (at least the 190 proof version) is also on the NC ban list. apparently the state ABC did a sales analysis and found that the vast majority of this stuff was sold at stores near to college campuses.
go figure.
on the plus side, they are allowing the existing stock to be sold and a lower proof version of everclear (151 proof) to remain. and yes, there are already a couple commercial corn liquors (ie: moonshine) on the market.
