153 So. 781
    HOWARD v. STATE.
    7 Div. 35.
    Court of Appeals of Alabama.
    March 6, 1934.
    Rehearing Denied March 27, 1934.
    Isbell & Beck, of Fort Payne, for appellant.
    Thos. E. Knight, Jx\, .Atty. Gen., for the State. -
   SAMFORD, Judge.

The evidence tends to prove that the officers went to the home of defendant and found him in possession of ten bottles, nine of which contained home-brew and one was empty and sitting by the side of defendant. The evidence also tended to prove that the defendant had just drunk the contents of the empty bottle and that all of the home-brew contained alcohol. This was sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction under section 4621 of the Code of 1923.

The fact that defendant had just drunk a bottle of the “home-bi'ew” and was intoxicated is some evidence tending to prove that the home-bx’ew was a beverage and was intoxicating.

There' was no evidence tending to prove that the home-brew was such a beverage as is designated in Acts 1932, p. 56, which' permits the manufacture and possession of certain beverages therein described. That act has no application to this case.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
