Drunk tractor driver charged

Maybe he's been sampling some of Duffster's ethanol.:laughing:

I checked into this and found:
Is it safe to drink lab ethanol? [Archive] - Physics Forums

so if he is... just go to the local ABC store...:laughing:

Talk about your God-given rights! About the first thing any past civilization has done on entering a new territory has been to figure out how to use local ingredients to make booze. It was our own First Founding Father, George W., who put the kibosh on his subjects making their own corn squeezings without paying taxes. And he complained about stamp taxes and taxes on tea, for goodness sake!

Growing up, I met a real old time moonshiner...supposedly retired by then. He lost an arm to the revenooers.

I make some legal beer and wine, and I think I should be able to concentrate the ethanol I make if I want to. It isn't even legal, according to some opinions I've read, to make apple jack by freezing the hard cider you can make legally.

Some laws are just plain not right! Big surprise, eh?

Jethro,
Whoops, senior moment, her name was 'Hester Prynne', the fallen woman of the book 'The Scarlet Letter'. Used to be a common novel used in high school English classes. She had to wear a scarlet 'A' on her dress as a punishment for adultery. The story is set in Puritan times if I remember correctly.

Now I know I'm getting old... read your original post and thought " Oh yeah, that's Nathaniel Hawthornes Scarlett Letter"

Apparently, English literature is even less popular these days than it was in 1966 :laughing::laughing:

Hester is still around it seems, but probably read by few. I've always enjoyed reading and was lucky to have a super English Lit. teacher in the 12th grade - Ms. Hohenstein.

Selling the booze?

heck the OHIO cops pull over riding lawn mowers, bikes and even roller skating while drunk will/can land you a DUI! guess it is a way for them to make more money...
I'm sure the several times that Ive seen or read about the riding lawn mower guys getting pulled over were in major danger of running down and killing a helpless flower bed

Over here a law going back to 1872 makes it an offence to be drunk in charge of a carriage, a horse, a cow or a steam engine.

More recent laws cover things with engines.
