whoevers name is on the keg gets busted. cases are much more safe. Also when you get a keg make sure you attach the piece of paper thing they give you really well. its required to be on the top of the keg but the top of the keg always gets wet and it falls off, if its not on the top of the keg when the police arrive they take it and theres usually a ticket for having to take it(i think thats a statewide thing, but most states have it).
