4:24 am
these people, nobody is at work. so lagunitas can't produce their hairy eyeball brand in a larger bottle like they have promised retailers simply because they can't get approval to change the label to say 22 ounces. >> if you are a safeway, for example, and you're expecting, you know, a product to come and it's not coming, then there's a hole on the shelf and they start to get like, well, where's the product? let me find another company to fill that hole. so yeah, it's a pain in the butt. >> reporter: it's one more example of how the bar fight going on in washington is affecting people in unexpected ways. >> you know, it's one of those little things that would be easily swept under the radar, you know, but, uhm, you know, enough of these little things all added together, you know, it has an impact. >> reporter: congress should probably be careful about letting this one drag on. the last timing they prohibited alcohol, it didn't work out so well. >> we can't take the beer away from the people because you

want to see people really starting to go up in arms is when you take a beer away from them. >> reporter: in petaluma, john ramos, kpix 5. >> good point by that man. the brewery says it's being hurt by the shutdown because it's big enough to ship nationwide. smaller breweries that don't sell out of state don't need federal approval for their labeling. in today's healthwatch, a new review of vitamin d studies shows no evidence that the supplements prevent osteoporosis. researchers found people who took it for 2 years had a slight improvement in bone density at the neck but no other effects. they say most healthy adults probably don't need vitamin d supplements everiment. kissing is the focus of a new study. researchers say kissing plays a big role in picking a partner and once in a relationship it's a way of getting your partner to stick around. women rated kissing as more important than men and kissing is very important to people who consider themselves attractive and tend to go for short-term relationships. thank you for the blowing of the kiss, roberta. >> i'm 100% behind that study,
