At the end of the last legislative session the Michigan Senate and House left a great bill undecided. Senate Bill 1558 would allow retirement homes in the state of Michigan to serve liquor to their residents and guests. I think that this is exactly what the elderly of Michigan need…the opportunity to buy wine beer and spirits to drink with their many medicines. Hopefully, the new representatives and senators will quickly see the merits of allowing this addition to the liquor code as well as the attachment that would allow for liquor stores to sale booze on Sunday mornings. This could be the best thing to happen to nursing homes since the invention of Viagra.
If I was in a nursing home, I’d want a drink.
