It varies from state to state.  Usually, it's 3.7 to 4 by weight (very
similar to the Canadian 5% by volume, BTW--it matters how you
measure.).  In Michigan, it's 3.2 by weight.

In Canada light beers have lower alcohol content than regular; this is
not true in the US.

This 3.2 is by weight, not volume.  3.2% by weight is about 4% by
volume.  

Does anyone know what the maximum alcohol content is in other states?
I'd be particularly interested in Ohio, Virginia, and Maryland.
Thanks.

When I lived in Germany I bought DAB as my everyday beer for not much more.

This is good beer! Available here in NJ... I had one in Maine at Geary's

I'll second this.  Labatts is ok in Canada, but the version sold in
the US isn't so hot.  I'd go on to say that any of the major Canadian
imports to the US (Labatts, Molson's, Moosehead) aren't any better
than mass-produced domestic stuff.  But, at least in the case of
Labatts, the true Canadian version is much better.

	That is unfortunate because you are really missing something nice.
The canned draught Guinness is much better than the bottled stuff (a totally
different beer actually).  As others have pointed out, you can wait a bit for
it to warm up after you pour it (and let's not quibble over a few degrees be
they fahrenheit or celsius).  Also before you get too snooty about the
temperature you drink your stout, please read the post from the Dubliner
(Sorry, forgot the name) who says that Guinness should be served chilled.
Who would know better than a Dubliner?

	Finally, regarding Guinness selling out.... I don't think so.  It's
just a matter of physics with their patented gizmo.  It has nothing to do
with selling out to homogenized taste buds.  Those sort of taste buds don't
usually like Guinness no matter what the temperature.

	You may go ahead and scorn canned "draught" Guinness, but then
you'll always have to go to the pub to get it.  Maybe that's as it should
be, but not everybody is fortunate enough to have a nearby pub with Guinness
on tap, let alone tapped correctly.

I would rather drink any Canadian than a major (Spud,Tiller,Old Stool,
Old Mildoggie,Shorts, etc.)

CORONA SUCKS! That's why they give you a lime (The only one I ever drank
I put 5 or 6 lime slices in) to kill the horrid taste. I'd rather drink
one of those Salvators that everyone thinks I am nuts for not liking.

For those of you who love to collect brewing related items:
There was a set of beer cans made up 7-10 years ago that had breweries
from the 1800's on them. There were 6 each from IN, Chicago, and PA.
Each can had a brief description of the brewery. These are beautiful
cans. Don't know where you could find any, but if you have any can
collecting friends, you could ask them. Has anyone else seen these?

I thought "slamming" a beer is the same as "pounding" a beer.
Just drink it as fast as you can, not caring to taste the beer
or enjoy it in any other way than the effects it produces 
shortly thereafter.

Surely you can get a wider variety than this.  Pino's, on Raritan Ave. in
Highland Park, had a very good selection of beers in the far reaches of
the cellar back when I was last there six or seven years ago.  I can't

Gee, I know we had some rules, but it seems I can't remember any
of them right now. And I can't remember the SDA being out of
business either... At least I have been drinking and partying all the
summer through.
So, if I've done it, it must be allowed for you too, but you must
promise that you'll keep on drinking now that you've had a good start.

Anyway, even if the SDA was ever out of business, it is definetly going
to be back in business (and very much so) from the beginning of September.

Also, this autumn all the old and new members of the SDA can apply for
the prestigeous SDA membership cards.

Read this newsgroup and be a member of the greatest party organization
in the world!
