Here's some interesting election news from South Carolina to get your mind off the Presidential mess: Farewell to the Minibottle!

Minibottles, all lined up behind the bar, could go away soon after voters on Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment allowing lawmakers to decide how drinks are served.

That means the Legislature likely will pass a law next year to add larger free-pour bottles while keeping minibottles as an option.

With 93 percent of precincts reporting, unofficial results early Wednesday morning showed 59 percent of voters approved the amendment.

The 1.7-ounce bottles of liquor usually seen only on airliners had become a South Carolina peculiarity. For more than a decade, the state was the only one in the nation to prohibit drinks from being poured from bigger bottles.

Ben Reagan voted for the minibottle amendment because he wants his Jim Beam and Coke to be cheaper.
