The West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Administration has chosen to ban high-proof grain alcohol.

The interesting thing about this is that the move appears (on the face of the single article) to have been the product of pressure from post-secondary education. While certainly an area of concern, I'm honestly surprised that the WVABCA did what they did because a couple of college administrators asked. That seems to be the reason, at least from the article.

The amusing thing about all this is that there's really no reason for students at the University of Charleston to worry. They've got their own alternate source of high caliber liquid poison, known to the rest of us as the Kanawha River. Drink up! If it doesn't eat your throat on the way down, the pleasurable sensations from dying organs ought to keep you in a blissful state for hours. That is, until the coma sets in.

As for those in Huntingon and Morgantown, they'll have to make do with moonshine. I am certain that the County of Franklin can supply all their needs in that regard.
