Alabama Politics

Alabama has long been known for its interesting politics. The most recent chapter in its rich history has to do with beer.

It seems that Senate has been trying to pass a bill to raise the alcohol cap on beer from 6% to 13.9% but have been faced with a filibuster. Senator Hank Erwin, a devout Baptist who had been working to block the bill, stepped out for a bathroom break. While he was out, the Senate rushed passage of the bill.

Just another day in Alabama politics.
