Question for you Naporeon. I just bought myself some Maker's for my birthday and was wondering if $35 sounds cheap to you. I'm loving the hell out of it and if I can continue to buy at that price I think I've found my new favorite for just dropping in a glass and chilling out with.
That totally depends on how much you're getting, where you're at, and what liquor taxes are like.
Here in Seattle, a fifth will be right around $25. That's after liquor taxes are applied.
So, yes...if we're talking about a fifth of Maker's, $35 is pretty expensive.
But it's worth it, in my opinion. Maker's is my favorite.

Ok, that was a lot of answers damn fast. Yeah, it was 35 for 750mL/fifth. This is however at the liquor store right down the road from the college so I imagine they enjoy a nice profit from overcharging. I'm really liking it as well, my friends had some and the best they came up with is "it smells like Jack" at which point I sighed and wondered why I gave nice whiskey to cheap-beer people.
Thanks for setting me straight on pricing, I need to go scope out a better store to continue this new-budding relationship.
See, I'm not good enough at that game to place smells so accuratly but I certainly do taste a difference and know that saying it smells like Jack probably means I'm missing something along the way. I've been getting shit for paying more for booze when "who cares? It all gets you hells of drunk anyway" and just kind of mentally putting my head in my palm and trying to explain the process by which someone no longer wants to drink Rubinoff to get wasted but perhaps would like to enjoy a nice taste and just feel a little glowy. This has not gone over well.
Dammit! Thanks for reminding me what my spring break is going to be about. I've fallen waaaay into laziness and gave up the gym last semester and now I feel like a fat bastard. So I'm dedicating this break to getting back into the full routine and hopefully getting into enough of a habit that I can keep it going at college without dropping back into easy mode.
Those goonswarm videos are pretty awesome. The descriptions of eve make it sound very dramatic. The goonswarm all eradicating an entire capital ship fleet. How badass is that?

$35 is better spent on the Dalmore Single Malt.
it's neat if you want to invest a lot of time into it
casual players can do shit but that shit is boring as hell

It smells like apples and maple syrup, to me.
