Bank Drivethrough at 6th&Cincinatti to be Plush Martini Lounge

Six-point beer: one of the dumbest and willfully ignorant terms in the whole mess. I bet a majority of Oklahomans really think Budweiser in Texas has nearly twice as much alcohol as it does in Oklahoma.

I don't think anyone anywhere else uses that ridiculous term.

I can drink a six pack of Budweiser from Texas. That takes a twelve pack from Oklahoma to get the same effect.
It also has a better taste from Texas. So no matter what point you want to call it. 3.2 will alway's suck and the best way to describe other better beers is by raising the point value.
So anyway, that 4.7 beer sure was better than that 3.2 puke.

As a side note. Our rotten beer was even mentioned in the movie "Tex"

Me?  This is what I call 'high point beer' or 'strong beer'....

....real beer.  Enough said.

Conan, BTW, the guy at Collins Midtown told me Eric was working on his second in the 'El Loco Gringo' series (the one that started with 'El Cucuy').

He's calling this next one 'El Chupacabra'.  Awesome.

Right on!  I've been avoiding beer lately.  Too much time working on the house, too little time to spend burning off the beer calories on the bike.  I guess I could say: "I ride for Marshall's".

i have never understood this.  i am not saying your wrong, (you know how you feel after a six pack a lot better than i do), and i have heard plenty of people say the same thing.  however, oklahoma beer is 3.2% by weight, which makes it 4% by volume.  regular budweiser is 5% by volume.  therefore, the alcohol content in a six pack from texas is equal to the alcohol content in 7-1/2 oklahoma beers.  i just don't get it.

Thank you for proving my point.

Oklahoma low-point beer is 3.2 percent alcohol by weight and 4 percent alcohol by volume, according to an Anheuser-Busch spokesman. The company's regular brew is 4 percent alcohol by weight and 5 percent alcohol by volume, though actual percentages vary depending on the batch.

"You buy a six-pack of Bud in Texas, you buy a seven-pack in Oklahoma for the same punch," said Oliver Delaney, president of the Oklahoma Malt Beverage Association.

Awesome article. Thank's for that. My boss who is from Kansas swears that he can buy strong Budweiser and Coors.
Well the list provided in the article say's different.

Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota and Utah also sell 3.2 beer.

I don't know if it has changed or not, but years ago I was in a restaurant in Arkansas on a Sunday and the menu had beer listed, but the waitress said they could not sell it to me on Sunday.

She'd be correct.  Some years ago on one of my hockey roadies, we went to a game in Texarkana.  The arena was on the Arkansas side of town.  It was Sunday.  We asked about buying beer.  They said 'not on Sunday'.  So in that regard, some states are more backward than Oklahoma.  I wasn't sure that was possible.

Had the arena been in Texas though, it wouldn't have mattered.  That county (Bowie) is a dry county.

EDIT:  I've debunked myself.  While most of Bowie County IS dry, the city of Texarkana is not.  Texas is a funny animal in that the state allows localities to hold 'local option' elections for the passage or restriction of alcohol sales.  The TABC website (Texas' version of ABLE) has a spreadsheet listing by county and municipality/jurisdiction of their statuses.  At least in OK localities cannot pass laws more restrictive than the state law regarding alcohol (meaning no dry counties).

Not a huge fan of Elote's food either, eh?

It's not very memorable, that's for sure.

You can buy regular Budweiser/Coors in Kansas. The stuff in gas stations and grocery stores is 3.2. The stuff in liquor stores is unadulterated.

Kansas is actually making progress on liquor laws. They just recently allowed their liquor stores to be open Sundays. It gives me hope for Oklahoma.

And I think you can strike Missouri from that list of 3.2 beer states. Their alcohol laws are such that they can sell pretty much anything anywhere, so I don't think anyone actually sells 3.2 beer. I always get a chuckle at QT in Missouri when the guy in front of me is buying a pint of Jim Beam or something.

I have had strong Bud from Texas but I can't seem to get my beer mule to bring me back any strong Coors (regular not unlead) Everytime I ask for it. When they get back it's the ol, "Oh dude the place we stopped only had Michelob Ultra"
I gotta do a road trip.
