Flying Fish Brewing Co.has undertaken an ambitious project of releasing a special beer in honor of turnpike exits, one at a time.

Meh, who cares. Naming a beer doesn't promote drinking and driving. We have a drink called sex on the beach. When was the last time you heard someone who got caught having sex on a public beach say that they were inspired by the name of the drink?
Also:
Joe Orlando, a spokesman for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, said it's a bad idea to associate a highway with alcohol.
I'm sorry, but where were you when Budweiser opened their factory by the highway? Where ARE you with all the alcoholic billboards in general? Top 3 that I see in NJ (when I lived there and when I visit now): Corona, Budweiser, and one that has the symbol of a man in a hat, coat, and cane in yellow. Dumb basses.
By the way, technically we are not supposed to drink (also including non-alcholic), eat, watch, etc. while we are driving. So, according to Madd's logic, there should be no billboards at all. Cell phone ad? Are they saying that ad contributes to people driving while on a cell? Fast food ads? Eating while driving?
