The thing is that this isn't the state of beer any more. The safeway/bevmo down El Camino will sell any number of different high-ABV beers, and while it's more expensive it's not prohibitively expensive to switch to something like cans of Torpedo that are 7-8% and plenty easy to get drunk on. Hell, there are triple IPAs pushing 12% on shelves in grocery stores now. This isn't 1980, beer isn't exclusively piss-water any more. The super-cheap stuff still is, and for pure "getting wasted" power liquor is still king, but I don't think the difference is large enough to make this ban effective, especially when subverting it won't be hard at all.
