real ballers give johnnie walker blue.

why would you spend 200+ on a bottle blended scotch. there are so many single malts that are superior and can be had at a fraction of the cost.


i'll admit i've never had blue label, but it seems like a bottle of talisker or some such would be just as appealing.

Alcohol is by far the most impersonal gift that you can give a young adult that you don't know well.

Dad gave me scotch last year.

I love Christmas time at the ABC store. I'm a sucker for all of the free stuff that comes with the liquor.

"On every delivered case of spirituous liquor approved for sale, there is an 80.8 percent markup. Therefore, the selling price at retail, in addition to cost of goods, includes: * freight * bailment fee that funds the ABC warehouse private contractor * surcharge fee that funds the ABC Commission's budget * federal tax * state tax * local ABC Board markup * rehabilitation tax * other miscellaneous tax "

not really, e.g. a pack of lance crackers that retails for 50 cents costs ~15 cents wholesale--which my math tells me is a 233% markup

i got a half gallon of Three Olives vodka for ~$25 yesterday and its good stuff for the price
