New Drinking Restrictions?
By Susan Tart

Buying a keg of beer might not be so easy if a new bill is passed. State legislators are discussing a bill that would require keg sellers to issue permits for kegs. Lawmakers hope this will cut down on underage drinking at parties and make it easier to find the people who supply the alcohol to teens. Some students, like Stacy Dunne, think the bill is unfair.

"I'd rather the person that's underage be personally responsible for drinking than the person who buys the keg. I think it's a little bit too much responsibility on the person buying the keg," Dunne said.

Other students say they’ll just start buying cases of beer instead, which could make selling kegs a lot less profitable.
