Legislators Fight Nebraska's Boilermaker Alcohol Ban

It's perfectly legal in Nebraska, as in other states, for an adult to go into a bar and order a Long Island Iced Tea or any other drink that combines several different kinds of alcohol. Strong opinions about the state's law, leftover from prohibition.

But unlike every other state, Nebraska makes it illegal to serve a boilermaker, an Irish Car Bomb or any other cocktail that mixes liquor with beer -- mixed drinks sold throughout the rest of nation.

Nobody remembers exactly when the law went into effect, but Nebraska Liquor Control Commissioner Hobert Rupe suspects it was around the time of Prohibition. Now, he's among those trying to scratch the law from the books, introducing what's become known as the "boilermaker bill" -- though there is no certainty they'll prevail.

"Was it a problem in 1935?" Rupe asked during an interview with ABCNews.com. "Perhaps. Is it a problem in 2010? I don't think so."

Many bartenders agree, noting a certain hypocrisy in today's enforcement of the ban. "I think it's kind of silly," said Kim Ringo-Bright, general manager at the Starlite Lounge, a bar in downtown Lincoln, Neb. "It doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean, a Long Island Tea [which is legal] has five liquors in it. You know, five different kinds of liquor. So you can't do a shot and a beer?"

Not in Nebraska. A 12-ounce Long Island Iced Tea would contain approximately 33 percent alcohol by volume, not counting the ice, while a 12-ounce boilermaker, which is a shot of whiskey in a beer, holds about 10 percent alcohol by volume. The Long Island Iced Tea is legal; the boilermaker is not.

"It would take a number of [boilermakers], and you'd get full before you'd have the same effect as from the Long Island Tea," said Dan Crowell, who studies mixology, the art of making mixed drinks. Crowell also works for Sterling Distributing Company, an Omaha-based liquor distributor.

Originally, the ban was meant to deal with the phenomenon known as "needle beer" or "spiked beer," said Rupe, who is also the president of the National Conference of Liquor Administrators. During Prohibition, most Nebraska communities -- like many other towns across the nation -- had a regulation that prohibited consumption of spirits in public, including alcoholic beer. But non-alcoholic beer was legal, leading some people to unlawfully add alcohol to it: Beer bottles were then corked like wine, allowing some to inject liquor into a bottle with a syringe.

Quick Drug Facts

The trick to setting liquor aflame in drinks or food dishes is to prewarm the glass, cooking vessel, and liquor. Preheat a spoonful of liquor, light it, then pour it into the remaining liquor to be set aflame.
Unlike other drugs, alcohol has no single receptor site for its action in the brain. In reality, alcohol affects several receptors that exist for other brain chemicals to act upon. Thus alcohol is an interloper, working on whatever receptor sites it happens to connect with. Since alcohol is such a simple molecule, it activates (stimulates or blocks) a number of receptors, although in a somewhat unspecific fashion, since the receptors are usually designed for specific attachment by other drugs. Thus, it is not unexpected that alcohol has many central nervous system effects, which we collectively call "intoxication".
Do you prefer two-wheels or four when you are on the road? If you are the motorcycle or scooter type, you should think twice and then a third time before getting on the road after having a few too many.
Youth who drink alcohol are 50 times more likely to use cocaine than those who never drink alcohol.
