USPS considering shipping alcohol?

Heard a bit about this on the radio the other day and since the topic comes up all the time on this forum I figured I'd share.

Mildly interesting, (skip almost halfway down to see the statement in the article) it would have more impact on large breweries, I would think.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Then UPS will change it's policy to allow it. Pretty soon we'll have homebrew flying nilly willy across this great nation!

They already do

Nah. Only "yeast samples" do.

Even though you'd have to go pick it up,it would be a relief from lying about a packages contents.

I would suggest to all the Americans here to read over the proposed bill and if you support everything else that it proposes, to write your own Congressman and urge them to support it too.

I do not have time to read through it at the moment myself, but this is what I am going to do.

I think it would be GREAT to be able to ship homebrew through the USPS. I have always had very positive experiences using the USPS for other services.
