Interesting. Various states have used their liquor laws to restrict labels and free speech in a number of instances. A couple of years ago, Texas tried to restrict the import of a Louisiana beer called "Black Voodoo" saying it was a satanic brand and would cause the downfall of all human civilization. Louisiana, in return, threatened to ban Lone Star Beer (a Texas hallmark) because it's label was based on the company's 5 pointed star. I guess this star was close enough to a pentagram to give Louisiana lawmakers enough tit for tat clout, and the Black Voodoo Malt Liquor was allowed in. The winners? Both Black Voodoo and Lone Star got loads of free advertising. Also winners were the lawmakers on both sides, by getting their names in the papers and demonstrating their unquivering loyalty to God and all righteous citizens. The losers? Just one. The Constitution.
