Prohibition may have ended in 1933, but that hasn’t stopped many states from passing equally absurd laws relating to alcohol. Some of these laws make perfect sense like Fairbanks, Alaska’s law that bans serving alcohol to a moose. Others are a bit more confusing like Louisiana’s law that allows an alcohol license to be issued to any type of business except donut shops. Hapa’s has summarized some of these laws to help keep our readers out of legal trouble. There has got to be some good stories behind these laws!
