I haven't had a chance to make any root beer the last few weeks, what with Easter and all.  This weekend I was busy doing yard work and relaxing.

I noticed this news story that I thought was pertinent, and amusing: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23851011/

Some high school kids decided to prove that you could have a party without beer, so they had a big root beer kegger.  And the cops busted them. 

It's funny that the cops busted them for having root beer, but it's kinda sad too.  I mean, these kids are trying to be smart and have a party without beer, and basically the cops prove that kids can't have any parties because they'll always be suspected of having beer regardless. So it almost proved the opposite point - might as well have beer, because the cops will assume you have it anyway.

Besides, they bought the root beer.  What fun is that?  Any real root beer kegger would've had home brew root beer! Am I right?
