Cheap Booze!

snip...if I'm desperate and there are 3 dollar pitcher specials, labatt blue.

You're joking on the price, right??

Pitchers here are normally $12-15 depending on where you drink. A case of 24 bottles (at the beer store) is somewhere in the vicinity of $36 with cans being $40 even for 24. Beer in bars is $3.75-$6 a bottle, depending once again where you're drinking and what (all prices are for 12 oz bottles and cans).

I remember one time I was in Loozyanna on business and stopped at a convenience store for a 6 pack. I chose Red Dog (I think it was) in 16 oz as I'd seen the ads, but have never tried it. I handed the guy a $20 and he gave me back $16 and change. I said "Pal, I had 6, not 1".

He looked at me and laughed and said "You're not from around here are ya??"

The moral of the story, Canada and cheap alcohol can never be used together.

That sucks. There's a tiny little dive bar near here where you can get lit for like ten bucks. My friend ordered 3 shots of Crown Royal and a Heineken, and it came to 8 bucks.

What I love is what they call drinks at popuar dance clubs. There was one place that served shots in these tiny little medicine cups. There was maybe half an ounce in it and they called it a shot. I assume it's the same measure they put in a mixed drink. The mixed drinks were in small glasses packed with ice. Four or five sips though the cocktail straw and it was gone. You want to stick with bottled drinks at places like that. At least you know what you're getting.

We have some of those around here too, but not the place I mentioned earlier, definitely full sized, if not more, shots. It's not a social place at all though, just somewhere you go to drink.

Mmmmm...gotta love booze, man!

An unusual liquor I like is Ouzo. A Greek Licorice flavored drink. Strange, since I generally hate Licorice. I don't like Sambuca though. Too sweet.

Beer
keystone/Natty Light what ever is available in the largest amount for the least amount.

I heard that Keystone was the Coors Light that didn't pass quality control. I think that this is true because some 30 racks are good and others are absolute trash. In the end any Coors product is still just Colorado tap water.
