Why was it illegal to transport coors beer in smokey and the bandit?!
They call it bootlegging, but was their a law against beer in Georgia at the time!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
The choice of Coors as the contraband of choice centered on the limited distribution of that brand across the country in the 1970's!. The resulting inability to legally purchase Coors beer in many states resulted in a minor bootlegging fad, and many cross-country vacationers travelling by car were asked by friends and neighbors to bring back six-packs and cases of the beverage!. The fad died out in the early 1980's when state and local issues that had previously prevented Coors distributorships from opening in and/or shipping to those regions were loosened and/or repealed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
ABOLITION=NO ALCOHOL!!! so they had to "run" it in and sell to people!. kinda like what they do w/ drugs now!. and to the other guy, you CAN drink in a dry county, you just can't buy it there!.!.!.!.
