Quote of the Day

A bar was charged with serving an alcoholic beverage to an underaged person when they gave a Jell-O shot to a girl under 21. In response, the bar did what any logical person would do..argued that, since it was Jell-O, they didn’t actually give the girl an alcoholic beverage. Bad news for any of you planning on getting underaged girls drunk: The court ruled against them.

What’s the deal with Jell-O? Is it a liquid? A solid? Well, if it’s mixed with vodka, it’s an alcoholic beverage, an administrative law judge has ruled.

Among arguments made during the hearing, Union Bar co-owner George Wittgraf III argued that Jell-O shots do not qualify as alcoholic beverages. Lockard disagreed, however.

“There is no evidence in the record to support the licensee’s argument that — simply because vodka was mixed with Jell-O mix — it lost its character as an alcoholic beverage,” Lockard wrote. “While there might be some debate in another context as to whether Jell-O is a food item or beverage, in this context … the Jell-O shots served by the licensee were alcoholic beverages.”
