Honestly, I think it's a good law since it's beer.
If you don't drink up, it'll go flat once opened, and... you do not want people to consume 40 oz of beer in a single setting.

Because if it's in 3 to 4 separate cans (ok, 36 or 48 oz)... a person wouldn't drink three or four cans (or at least shouldn't) at once... and there's no impetus to do so because the beer will go flat (as in the case of 40 oz).

Also... it's easier to control one's impulse when you need to manually open another can instead of just raising the bottle.

Malt liquor in 40s are pretty gross after they go flat. It's not the same as cracking 4 beers. You can definitely do it, but it's not enjoyable like a fresh beer.

With all that said, this is a stupid law to pass and seems like it's a poor folks tax.

Yes but stereotypes and socioeconomic reasons that make 40s better value when you're cash strapped.

Lots of people vote too but voter ID is clearly designed to target specific demographics.

People drinking 40s aren't craft beer snobs sipping and admiring the aromatics. They're usually drinking for effect.

I figured it was not just the sterotype of them drinking 40s but also the stereotype of them hanging around the gas station drinking it.

Also a Mickey's fan, here in my city, if not the whole state of TX, Mickey 40 oz are still glass, they're just really hard to find. Often times at gas stations the only option are the grenades, which I'm fine with, however when you compare the oz & cost you're spending more for less and I also feel like they don't taste the same. But hey, at least they have the fun riddles.

Those were always fun. The first time I drank wasn't until 19 or so, 17ish years ago, and I asked a homeless dude I saw a lot and asked him to buy me 3 40's of mickey's for me and my buddies. He said it was 15 dollars and I foolishly payed for it. He turned out pretty cool when I saw him a few years later though so I guess it's water under the bridge. He got me good though

They didn't make them illegal in New Mexico, they just required them to be plastic.

Seriously, we apparently had too many people getting their shit beaten with glass 40's.

Menthols make it easier to smoke due to the cooling effect, so banning it makes sense if you want to discourage smoking. This Florida ban only affects 40s, not all alcohol 40 oz and up.

When I drank I used to love Miller High Life 40s. Less than two bucks and got the job done. Usually started with 4-5 40s during the afternoon then switched to cans/bottles.

I still miss drinking but I'm better off without it..

If theyre alcoholics, they cant control shit. You think having to open another bottle is going to stop an alcoholic?

As an alcoholic very true. I'm sober now, but I know if I have one drink it will not stop.. One becomes two, then four, then eight, sixteen... In my absolute worst I was drinking over thirty beers a day. Terrible time in my life...

I want to add they have other really nice attractions like some really good Christmas decoration events. They had an amazing science museum I went through there. Also some amazing parks such as the Florida Everglades. I personally went to this place where some rich people bought and planted extravagant plants and made this exotic lush park anybody could walk through.
