So I have a slight cold and I went out and bought a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, 2005 vintage. Not too shabby as it was on sale, too.
I uncorked it, went and did some things, poured it, let it breathe for another half hour, and just as I was getting ready to drink it my nose stuffed up again.
There's been talk of allowing grocery stores to sell liquor. I have mixed feelings about this because I deal with enough irritatingly trashed hobos and their $1.49 24oz cans of Steel Reserve. The State liquor stores are hardcore about the rules, and since most hobos are perpetually drunk, they are perpetually getting kicked out of the liquor stores before they buy anything.
One of my dads workers would frequently call in "sick" (Since this is the alcohol thread I think you can guess why) when my dad really needed some work done. The absolutely last time this guy called in "sick" he asked my dad if he could drive to the store and get a 12-pack for him. This was the last time because he got fired for that.
Not too much time later guy died of alcohol poisoning I think.

I went to a CVS the first time out here the other day and they had an entire liquor aisle.
Gettin' back to their roots, I suppose.
I used to go to CVS all the time for booze. It was the closest place.
Then, I moved and Jewel Osco was the closest. That place always has a ton of shit on sale. All the food at Jewel is overpriced, and the booze is cheap.
Now I don't have a decent place to buy liquor withing walking distance.
There is a place about a mile away, but it's right on the border of a shady part of town. I went there one day, and it was filled with 40's, cheap tequila, and a whole bunch of people that seemed none too pleased that I was in there.

You need to get punched in the jeans.
hey! I coulda said Golden Champale (do they even make that shit anymore??? I haven't seen it since I was in high school).
Pizza is cheap beer food, hence, drink cheap beer with it.
I also coulda said Blatz or something like that (same question... do they even make it anymore??? Las time I saw it was at a liquor store in Ohio for $1.25 for a 40oz)

I remember a road trip to base in Yuma, AZ and stopping at a Walgreens somewhere around Phoenix where they sold liquor. Almost a whole half of the store was liquor.
the first time I ever got drunk was off of a bunch of mikes hard lemonade
ah youth
jagerbombs for me
baaaaaarrrrf
Pabst Blue Ribbon for me.
downed a tall glass with my drunk uncle while he was watching me one friday night.
... he got yelled at by my grandmother when she came home around 2:30 and I was still up, playing poker with him and his friends and reeking of beer... at all of 12 years old.

The only thing worse than Blatz is Milwaukee's Best.
OH FUCK drinking Schnieder Weisse is like drinking the Blood of Christ in a good way!
This.
Been trying to find a place around here that sells Weihenstephaner ever since I tried it in Boston. No luck yet, but I have tried a bunch more good German Hefeweizens in the process! (Paulaner is sooooo good)
Has anyone tired Ciroc vodka? The liquor man at the liquor store recommended it to me instead of Grey Goose. It is ok, but that is the last time I listen to the liquor store man.
Fuck, people in Wisconsin will drink anything so long as it gets you where you wanna be.
This map is very informative of Wisconsin's heavy tavern culture stimulated by all the German immigrants. Some might be disgusted by it, but I think it's funny.

in Europe it's mediocre, cheap beer
in America, it's imported
the problem with stella is, you pay stella prices and all you get is stella
going to a jazz cafe friday that has a $12 cover unlimited high life/wells
plus $2 tacos and sliders
can't say no to those prices

Now, I just stock up when I go grocery shopping.
