Tribe To Sue Beer Companies For Alcohol Problems
Published: February 9, 2012, 11:56 AM

LINCOLN, NE - An American Indian tribe says it will sue some of the world's largest beer makers for knowingly contributing to alcohol-related problems on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota announced Thursday it will demand $500 million from five international beer manufacturers for the cost of health care, social services and child rehabilitation caused by chronic alcoholism on the reservation.

The lawsuit also targets four off-site beer stores in Whiteclay, Nebraska, a town with a population of about a dozen people on the South Dakota border that sells nearly 5 million cans of beer annually.

The Connecticut-sized reservation has struggled with alcoholism and poverty for generations, despite an alcohol ban since 1832.

Pine Ridge legalized alcohol in 1970, but restored the ban two months later.

This thread isn't intended to be racist so get that shit outta here you ****ers. I just find it ridiculous that someone is willing to sue beer companies because they drink too much beer.

Personally, I feel like I should sue for a couple of peyote trips that didn't turn out quite the way I expected.

They never should have knowingly exposed you to peyote.

If they win, this could open the alcohol companies up to some major liability from Ireland.

Hell, I blame my Irish heritage for making me such a lush.
I’m going to sue them for sucking so bad my ancestors moved here leaving me stuck with shitty beer.

the level of fail is huge, a town with a population of 12 is selling 13k cans of beer a day? WTF?

Where are the tribal police? Tribal land is federally protected and local police have zero jurisdiction on tribal land so the tribes have their own law enforcement.

I do have a solution: tribes should just start growing weed--everywhere. Grow it, smoke it and do it all for free and if the feds have a problem with it tell the to **** off.

Gang area. Either the cops are in their back pocket or they are toast.

I go to Fort Thompson all the time fishing. The tribal cop sits in the same gas station parking lot all day talking to whoever is walking by. I've never actually seen him driving anywhere.

$501 million. And spend it on beer.

**Donger** · 02-10-2012, 11:30 AM

Fine. Let them sue and win. Then sue them for the moving expenses we incurred a few years back.

Amnorix · 02-10-2012, 11:49 AM

So if a native american went into one of these liquor stores and was REFUSED service because they were a native american, would that be grounds for a successful discrimination claim?

Seems like yet another line of defense to assert, along with the obvious ones.
