Just how fracking bored are those folks that they feel the need to dig up and reinterpret twenty year old laws? I mean, shazbot! me. It's bad enough that Kansas doesn't allow happy hours and now this crap. Abc needs to go in the Back and kill themselves on this one.

What's that going to anount to?  An extra $0.50 for two 32 oz beers?  Get over it.  Drinks are a lot cheaper in Kansas than they are elsewhere.

this.  much like the law regarding alcohol sales as a percentage of food sales (I think they might have repealed that one).  the FDA doesn't tell Dillons how much to charge for fracking wonderbread.

yeah. it's just dumb. i mean, i see why some laws are laws, but i can't understand why this is one. what's the benefit to this? it reminds me of when i went to oklahoma and tried to get cold beer at the liquor store. they said they could only sell warm beer and that if i wanted cold beer, i'd have to go to the convenience store next door. oh, okay. dumbasses.

The point is to keep people from buying larger quantities of alcohol for a discounted price. People are more likely to buy a $5 pitcher than a $2.50 tallboy. In any other state with any other product, the same people who dreamed this up would bemoan the government intrusion into private business. In Kansas, our small government Republicans welcome this type of intrusion. See the strip club bill that failed in the House this last session.

yeah. i get why they're doing it. i just don't see the benefit in doing it. why not just mandate that all alcoholic drinks be served in mason jars or all alcoholic drinks come in six ounce plastic cups or all alcoholic drinks must be accompanied with a strip of bacon. it's just stupid. and if it's stupid and there's no benefit, then why do it?

What's that going to anount to?  An extra $0.50 for two 32 oz beers?  Get over it.  Drinks are a lot cheaper in Kansas than they are elsewhere.  
the impact wiil be felt more by the business than the people out drinking.  further, now seems like an especially bad time for the kansas state government (who will finish FY10 ~$1B in the red) to screw with businesses who have been operating just fine without some bored ABC agent stumbling across this rule and then deciding to enforce it.

Because they can. And the kickbacks from this could be ginormous.

Duncan also said he thinks the agency has exceeded its authority.

"The other factor is this is basically prescribing retail prices," he said, "and there is no authority for them to do it."

The trouble is, when you leave something on the books, 20 years later someone may want to start enforcing it again.

The even bigger issue is who gets to decide which laws are "stupid" and won't be enforced.  And then what authority do you have to enforce those laws you like?  Kind of a "slippery slope" there.  But, whatever.
