[Sca-cooks] MY DAY IN CLASS

[AF Murphy]

No, standard is higher than that.

When I went to college in Ohio, they sold 3.2 beer. In those days (far
off and long gone *G*) many states, including my own, had a legal age
for drinking of 18. Ohio was basically a 21 state, but 18-21 year olds,
which I was, could get 3.2, so that was served on campus. I think that
may have been what you could get on Sunday, too... though I'm not
certain of that. I have no idea if it still sold, if it is still
required, or anything - haven't been out there in a long time, and don't
know their current law.

I didn't really like any beer at the time, so can't comment about taste.

I remember my mother telling me near beer had been available in
Prohibition, and had an extremely low alcohol content, lower than the
3.2  though I think just a touch higher than the current no-alcohol beers.

Phillippa, what a wonderful opportunity! I love things like that, that
help make history feel "real" to students, and help them understand that
it is about normal life, not just lists of battles, kings, and treaties.
(as sometimes, unfortunately, taught...)
