Re: “Police Invoke the Spirit of Butt-Chugging to Try to Derail Wine in Grocery Stores”
Thanks to Chief Rausch for bringing up such a prevalent issue. As those of us who have lived outside of the state of Tennessee know, "butt-chugging" is a huge issue. In the city of Chicago alone - where citizens are free to purchase alcohol at any store that chooses to sell it and also every day (including SUNDAY!!!!!) - there were over 20,000 deaths last year from butt-chugging boxed wine.
In fact, the butt-chugging epidemic is such a concern, city officials decided to restrict wine and more potent potables to a section of the store that only people who are verified to be adults may view or purchase the products. This has reduced the butt-chugging levels in most metropolitan areas; however, plenty of butt-chugging is still being reported in fraternity houses across the globe.
Please Tennessee, don't allow people of adult age to purchase alcohol whenever or wherever they choose so they may enjoy it in the privacy of our their own home. Adults over the age of 21 clearly cannot be trusted with this substance even though it's been enjoyed by pretty much every culture for thousands of years.
It is imperative that alcohol of any proof or distillery is served in public houses that deter people from engaging in butt-chugging. Butt-chug.
