The Alcohol Exchange Network

Okay, for those of you who've been to PAX before, you know it's rife with crazy, drunken afterparties (see below). Unfortunately, Washington has insane taxes on everything, including alcohol. In addition, most of the Canadians have expressed their distaste for American beer. So here we have the Alcohol Exchange Network, wherein people can arrange to exchange local microbrews for other alcohols or just for cash monies. So post here if you want to participate, and in what way. Also, general drinking and after-party related discussions are more than welcome.
Disclaimer: due to the legal drinking age in the U.S., this exchange is limited to those who will be 21 years of age or older at the time of PAX.

They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.

And Safeway sells sixers of Amber Bock for $6, which is the best deal (great beer) I've ever seen around here. Haven't paid many attentions to cases though.
Edit: Or walk through the suites and find the one with the open doors.

Also, be sure to declare it when you enter, as fines will result if you do not.

I'm personally interested in some Amstel Light myself, I've not been able to find it up here.
Girly drinks ftw.
Bring me some blue curacao and some grenadine and you can have all the delicious girly mixed drinks you want.

I'm already bringing up AT LEAST a sixer (more likely two or three) of Black Butte for all curious parties who have listened to me drool about it endlessly.
(At least) a 5th of Bailey's for bombing runs.
And I'm bribing some Canadian peeps for the good Fireball since the American knockoff blows.
I am in Portland, land of the microbrew, so anybody who wants to exchange cash monies for beer on arrival is more than welcome to PM or post.
Then I'll talk to my brother, since I can't legally purchase any of it.
Any 'mericans or Canadians who want to make witchdoctors (Tattoo and Dr. Pepper) happen can take part in the bombing runs for free. I'm not paying for Tattoo, though. Dr. Pepper, maybe.
After-party stuff... I have to wait and figure out what the hell my Enforcing schedule is so I am functional and helpful while on shift.
I mean I'll bring you some but you're crazy.
That stuff tastes like flaming death all the way down.

My flask needs love, okay?
I'd rather love Fireball than Jameson's. Or pretty much anything else.
Is it weird that I hate vodka on the whole but love whiskey?
Have you ever had Manny's Pale Ale by Georgetown Brewing? It's become a very popular local brew and they're the "official" beer of my hashing group so I can probably arrange a keg at a discout though someone else would need to pick it/them up since I don't have a vehicle. They also recently introduced Rocket Red which I found a very enjoyable (duh) red ale.
My aversion to girly drinks has nothing to do with machismo and everything to do with the experience that sweet drinks will fuck me up in a bad way instead of just getting me drunk and result in a much worse hangover. This seems to be common among people I know but of course everyone's body chemistry is different so maybe your body reacts differently to the sugar. So beer or non-sweetened cocktails for me.
The micros and MGD are somewhat tolerable. I would rather drink Drano than Budweiser.
On a side note, does anyone know what is the worst thing that can happen to me if I try to bring booze over the border at the age of 19?
If you don't declare it, it gets confiscated and you get fined upwards of five hundred dollars, or arrested.

Ok, if you're including micros then I have to say this is a pretty fucking ignorant assertion. There's a vast range of microbrews available in this area and I'm skeptical that you've actually tasted most of them which would be the only way you could really express any opinion on the matter. If you're not inclined to try them, fine but just point out that you haven't and can't really express an opinion on the matter. I wouldn't pretend that I can express an opinion on Canadian beer outside of the very few that I've tried.
I adore rum of most any kind, but that my good sir is a king among them. I most likely will have a bottle with me for the weekend.
I just Pray my friends don't bring everclear as they are prone to doing.... that stuff is eeeeevil.
The NESkimos had everclear last year. I didn't drink any, but there was some tore-up getting going on.
Yeah I refuse to drink the stuff. Not only does it mess me up waaaay too fast, but has the equivalent effect of spanish fly. And I don't feel like jumping Recruit in the middle of a room party. Things like that tend to be akward the next day. >.>

Thats why I have my own room. :winky:
Is he still alive or what??
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
Yep, he's very much alive, he just has been on a kind of internet break lately. Plus we've had a bunch going on. We got engaged, went to a local con, had a ton of roommate troubles ect. Not to mention that one akward thing...
But yes, I'll poke at him though and try and prod him back over here to the dark side.
I like how the tore-up had already arrived, then Dr. Wily looks in a drawer with a "Oh, look what we have here!" as he pulled the Everclear out. That soldier from Kansas took the first shot, and he did it straight. I don't remember seeing him much through the later hours.
That label was great, telling us not to drink it without diluting it with mix. It burned *with* juice, I don't want to know what it was like without. It did well, even for only being maybe a 1/4 of a bottle left.
Someone make a thread about where parties are happenin this year. I can start fire just fine, but not threads.
Also, my store quit carrying Bawls in the blue bottles, and started carrying it in the larger "Generic Energy Drink X" cans. I hope we can get bottles again this year, as that's a good portion of Bawls' appeal.
