2. Alaska – In Fairbanks, AK, it is illegal to serve an alcoholic beverages to moose. I’m pretty sure Sarah Palin had nothing to do with this law…

5. Nebraska – It is illegal for a bar to sell beer unless it is simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup.

8. Florida – Don’t plan on using any of the celebratory Champagne bottle sizes known as Methuselahs, Salamanazars, Balthazars or Nebuchadnezzars. These very traditional large format Champagne bottle sizes are all illegal in Florida.
9. Texas and Ohio – The French wine, "Fat Bastard" is banned in both these States as the name is considered offensive..
