A law that requires retailers to label beer kegs with the name and address of the purchaser could be repealed by the state legislature.
The law, which went into effect in 2011, was meant to deter underage drinking.
State Senator Geoff Hansen said it had the opposite effect.
“They’re buying the harder liquor and they’re having problems that they’re drinking large amounts of the harder liquor which is creating alcohol poisoning and things like that.”
Hansen said it’s a problem for retailers too.
“You’ve got a keg that is all sweaty that you're trying to make something stick to it so you've got to buy these expensive stickers that you have to get from the liquor control commision, this is kind of a pain for any of the retailers.”
Hansen said the bill to repeal the keg tag law passed the senate, and now needs to clear the House. He said he’s optimistic it will see passage.
