Our state legislators would literally be deluged with phone calls and threats if that were even

considered.

My hometown was in the Guinness Book of World Records for a time for the "most bars in a one square mile area" in the world. There are tiny bumps in the road here where there almost as many taverns as houses. I mean like five houses, three taverns and a gas station. I was about to say that anyone who has been in rural Wisconsin knows this, but also look at Milwaukee. How many bars are located in the greater Milwaukee area? Madison, too. There were Catholic churches in my county that had taps in the basement. It was not uncommon when I was growing up for parents to have their sub ten year-old kids sitting at the bar with them. Get 'em started early with kiddie cocktails. To put in political perspective, the Tavern League has more influence over state government than the teachers' unions.
