In the old days, people did not buy beer in bottles or cans at the
7-11 store. They went to the tavern and carried the beer home in a
bucket. - from the Food History section of www.odd-info.com

Jugs were more often used to carry the beer home.

In the late 1940's when beer was available in bottles and cans,
I would walk with my grandmother to a neighborhood tavern where
she would have a bucket filled to the half gallon mark.
During Prohibition, decent beer was hard to come by. So people
ran small-scale moonshine stills that produced about a quart a day

Both of these statements are true. However, they are unrelated, and
one does not follow from the other.

In fact, you can go to a brewpub today and take home beer.

True andit's not "get the right newsgroup" wizard either. He's cross-posted
to a few newsgroups to people who probably don't give a rats a.r.s.e about
