Be sure to take some time out of your busy day, and drink (at least) a beer in celebration!

Remnants of Prohibition survive today in the form of state-owned liquor stores and local laws that, for example, prevent sales of alcohol on Sundays or in grocery stores. Some counties remain entirely dry, banning alcohol sales altogether, and 3.2 beer is still sold in six states (Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma and Utah), according to Modern Brewery Age magazine.
My friends who visit from out of state are still baffled that the beer they just bought at the grocery store is 3.2. They always ask, "You mean they bottle and package 3.2 beer just for the grocery store?" Yup! That's why Colorado has so many liquor stores.
It's hard to get drunk on 3.2.

Even major chain breweries make 3.2 beer just for your state? (and other 3.2 states of course..)
