DC, you just gotta wonder how much time some people have on their hands don't you?

It's worse than that! It's regulated by the states!! 
In Texas, a beer over a certain ABV is an ale, and below is a lager, regardless of whether it's a factually accurate description or not!

Bang, I drink any that I can get my hands on, but right now I am trying out a new one made in Banff. Very smooth. Warms you right down to your toes. Hmmmmmm....maybe I should toss some in my tea?

Ronjohn, back in the day me and my buddies would actually drive to Detroit to get the good stuff at the Duty-Free store. If we wanted something like Everclear we would drive to Richmond, IN. Alix is right, lawmakers have WAY too much time on their hands! :roll:

LOL!
My buddy has a bottle of everclear right now. Plus, I love the duty free store. I'll never forget the time we were unpacking after a ski trip to Blue Mountain, and got home and I unloaded a couple of bottles of Barcadi. Noticed we had brought a couple bottles of Cuban rum across the border. OOPS!!!
Drinking a nice cascade hopped pale ale right now - unfortunately, I can tell that the keg is read to kick out.

Alas, it's the last of it. It was supposed to just be a "clean out the stock" pale ale, but it turned out great! But I probably can't make it again! :(
I've got plenty of substitutes though...
