After all, fish don't drink in it.


In the case of your summer's entertainment in 2013, otherwise known as NABC v Health Department, it wouldn't be a genuine local issue if we didn't hear from Tim "Eco Warrior" Deatrick ... and we did, just last night.

get your facts straight, under 21CFR part 123 the health dept. does have jurisdiction over beer as a food. Appeal all you want you wont win

Grammar carnage aside, you'll see in the photo (top) that if one searches for the word "beer" in section 123, there are no hits. That's because section 123 (below) has to do with fish and fisheries, not beer.

However, Tim's perennial confusion should not blind us to the fact that beer is preferable to water, seeing as fish ... well, you know the rest.

Yawn.

I meant title 21 part 165, so check that reference winer. Health Department 1, Baylor a big zero

the fisheries reference was for your inflated opinion of yourself Baylor, you think you're a big fish in a little pond, and before you correct the "winer" phrase which of course is whiner, that would be for wino park AKA Bicentennial park and a suggestion that patrons buy wine rather than your swill, I mean beer(food)

Jeez, it just keeps getting better and better. The health department cannot make up enough stuff of their own to justify this charade and now we have Mr. Deatrick throwing in federal regulations to boot. Looks like the UN is your only recourse, Roger.

I'm feeling so 2006 right about now.

According to part 165, NABC may be subject to FDA regulations if you ever decide to manufacture bottled water. It's the only beverage mentioned.

If any of us are going to bother with the UN, seeking asylum seems the appropriate play.

21 CFR 165 is FEDERAL law.

If you care about INDIANA law (you know, the law that applies to Floyd Co Health Department) then the relevant statutes and regulations are found here:

Quite right, Satirist. And you'll search in vain for the word "beer" anywhere therein, although there'll be reference to "drink." In the absence of statutory precision, the local health department seeks to establish a definition based on the contents of a solitary e-mail. If such practice were marshaled against against Eco Warrior, he'd be squealing like a stuck guinea pig -- but with him, it's all ideological rancor, all the time. Think Fox in the fisheries.

This is satire, right? I mean, surely Tim Deatrick is no longer posting here. Pretty funny stuff, Ecology Warrior.

Oh dear, this is not high level satire or irony! Ecology Warrior is the real deal. He holds the record for longest held grudges.
