Low-alcohol beer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the United States, the sale of only low-alcohol light beer is allowed in some establishments. For example, in Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Utah, beer sold in supermarket chains and convenience stores must be less than 3.2% alcohol by weight (4% ABV). This low alcohol beer is also referred to as Low-point beer or 3.2 ("three-two") beer. Minnesota has a full-service alcohol license available to retailers, permitting sales of beers up to the normal alcohol level, but 3.2 licenses are easier to obtain.

In Ohio it was legal to buy and drink 3.2 beer at age 18. We didn't burn our draft cards n those days (he added patriotically) as that was the proof we needed to get into bars and to buy beer. Most of today's light beer would qualify. 3.2 was also sold on military bases in the 60s and 70s. Not sure when Ohio dropped the law. I believe it was a result of pressure from the Feds. I think it was a major mistake as keeping kids, especially college kids, from drinking is like herding cats.
