That means that you're in the United States.  Due to an arcane vestige
of Prohibition - which was never *completely* repealed - one cannot
send alcholic beverages through the mail.  I don't think you can ship
them via UPS or FedEx either.

Back in the day I sponsored a Conway's Life contest for the Classic
PowerPC Macintosh.  I promised to award the winner a bottle of beer
from the Front Street Pub, a microbrewery in Santa Cruz.

Well some German guy implemented it all in PowerPC assembly code that
used bit-parallelism to operate on 32 cells simultanously.  He was
clearly the winner - he beat the pants off everyone else who entered.
I *still* haven't figured out how his code worked.

Woe was me and woe was him, I was not permitted to send him his bottle of beer!
