So, putting a
snake in your Vodka is kind of weird, but what I don't get is why the
penalty for selling alcohol is so high. I imagine that it has to do with
the fact that states (the nation?) often require liquor liscences, but I
guess my question is why we care about the manufactor and distribution of
alcohol so much? Why does it need to be enforce with jail time and
thousands in fines (or, more to the point, "at all")?

"Bayou Bob’s Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch"; someone has a sense of alliteration.

That said: why does the government control any substance? Answer that question, and you'll find that it's the same when it comes to alcohol.

(For the record: I'm not cynical enough to believe that it's simply to turn a profit via fines and/or taxes)
