[MR] Pennsylvania Liquor Laws

[Jim Pryor]

Hi folks. I just got off the phone with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control
board. 

I talked with their legal department and they assured me that if you are
bringing in alchohol that you made for personal consumption (IE you are
not selling it or bartering it) you can bring all you want. They even
told me that it is ok to share it with friends.

Mind you, I only asked about Beer and Wine. 

Hope that helps clarify things.
