I agree, this is another one of those silly laws dealing with alcohol that states pass from time to time that should be changed.

Alcohol
Texas state law prohibits taking more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.
Nebraska state law prohibits bars from selling beer unless they are simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup.
State law of North Dakota prohibits serving beer and pretzels at the same time in any bar or restaurant.
In Houston, Texas, beer many not be purchased after midnight on Sunday, but can be purchased anytime on Monday...which happens to begin right after midnight on Sunday! So it's illegal to buy it when its legal to buy it?
If you are intoxicated but not driving your car, but the person who is driving your car is intoxicated, both you and the driver can be charged with DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol) in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Some states and other jurisdictions within the US require that the interior of public drinking establishments be visible from the street, whereas other specifically prohibit that; some insist that food be available wherever drinks are served, whereas other make that illegal; and some require that anyone drinking stand at a bar, whereas others mandate that they be seated while drinking.
In the 1940's, California law made it illegal to serve alcohol to a gay (homosexual) person.
The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a recipe for making beer that can be used at home.
