Fun Facts

ALASKA

There are 83 dry towns and villages in Alaska. 2 In addition, Fairbanks is a dry town for moose, where it’s illegal to feed a moose any alcoholic beverage.  Apparently they can’t hold their alcohol.

NEBRASKA

Nebraska state law prohibits bars from selling beer unless they are simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup.

NEW HAMPSHIRE

Using alcohol in cooking is an essential part of being fully trained and prepared to enter the workforce as a professional chef. However, New Hampshire law prohibits alcoholic beverages from school grounds. Therefore, State Representative Jane Clemons sponsored a bill to enable culinary arts students to use alcoholic beverages in their cooking classes.

The proposed law would provide safeguards to ensure that the alcohol would not be used inappropriately and would be properly secured under lock and key when not in use for classes. It would also require parental notification that alcohol would be an ingredient permitted in cooking and baking classes.

The legislation failed. Earlier, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), had strongly objected to wine tasting being permitted in collegiate culinary classes, even though the beverage would not be swallowed.
