I wanted to say that!!

I wanted to put his picture up!

What authority would any law enforcement agency have to mandate beer suppliers cough up this information to them? Last time I checked, this kind of thing required a subpoena.

It's already done in New York State.

For the record:

In Boston, it's illegal to deliver a keg to an educational institution's property.

And yes, it is illegal for seven women to reside on the same lease/property. Go ahead. Ask why.

bmihura: All liberal states should be doing this soon. California is next I bet.

Oh for crying out loud! What does this have to do with liberal states? If anything it will probably end up coming to South Carolina of all places, home up until recently of the mini-bottles.

Kegger = word gets out and stupid freshmen/people you don't know start showing up. At my last keg house party last year, we had two people show up at 10 PM - party time here is usually strictly 11, kids - who no one in the house knew. They heard about it from "someone in their English class".

Heh. Kinda got freaked out that we'd get raided and get a noise violation/have to buy another keg, but everything turned out alright. I'm all down for the crazy huge word-of-mouth parties, but only when I can afford it.

Last one the ex-roommates had, the off-the-street folk were pretty easy to spot - the whole place was gay boys and art/humanities students ('cept for yours truly) and they were both the only frat boys, and the only Republicans at the whole place.

Hard Alcohol Martini Party = classy = same price as kegger = decent bar with the leftover alcohol instead of getting drunk during the football game the next day with the getting-warm alcohol.

Also, lots of marchino cherries for months to come. Damn Gordon Food Service and their vat of cherries I thought I'd go through. They did have classy plastic cups for cheap, though.

One more fun get away from cops idea, although not my own, unfortunately:

There was a block party on a street my friends had a house on. The student-ghetto-ish street the cops love to cruise down every 5 minutes even when it's a weeknight. So they close their door, lock it, and sit on the porch with their drinks. Cop comes by and tries to find someone who lives in the house to give a noise violation to, but no one will own up to actually living there - they're just sitting on the porch. I'd imagine they were the only house not to get one.

I had a fun little conversation once with a cop who barged into acquaitence's house (same street, different year) without knocking, saying why, etc. I was pretty sober and bored (and 21 at that, so go ahead and ask for my ID) and pissed off. They can't come onto private property unless you let them in, kids. Although they can serve noise violations and the like.

The ACLU has great phamphlets on the subject, and also notices to put by the door for partygoers (don't let cops in, get someone from the house to open the door if they knock, etc, etc). Good work, my civil liberties lovin' friends.

I wonder how much bribing it would take to get the liquor store guy to just sell you a keg without getting it registered. I bet not alot. The guy who owns a liquor store my friend works at sells to underage sorositutes as long as they flirt with him.

/sigh, college
