“Noah was a wino. How you gonna keep your children from being winos?” -- Alabama State Rep. Alvin Holmes of Montgomery.
The quote came during debate about legalizing home brewing and wine making in Alabama. The bill that passed the House would allow 100 gallons a year - half the amount allowed by U.S. law - and only in counties that permit sale of alcohol. Some Alabama counties are "dry" and alcohol sales are illegal. Currently, home brewing and winemaking in any amount is a felony in Alabama.
Where the bill is as of today: Two days left in the Senate session. The bill has passed out of committee. Under this version, people in wet counties can legally make 15 gallons every 3 months, 60 total for a year. Whether or not it comes up for a vote is iffy this late in the session. If it passes the Senate, it goes to the governor for his signature.
