cost where you live ,
the guy ahead of me at the liquor store today paid $ 21.65 ,
i almost fell over my shopping cart ( had a cart cause i stocked for
christmas )
friends and guest's like a warm sniffter at Christmas time

I just bought a 12 pack of Michelob for 11.99.
Actually, I bought 10 - 1 liter bottles of wine, 2 - 2 liter bottles

wine

and a 12 pack of beer for 92 bucks.
(We had a swim team Christmas party 2 nights ago)

i know how it is where you live ,
that's where i learned if i stayed in the US i'd die

yeah, it's everywhere.
I should count my blessings that I can take it or leave it.
I can have couple of glasses or so at a party, or over dinner and enjoy

then forget all about it.

ya lucky you , you have the other addiction

The going rate in the States for domestic brands is $7.99 U.S. At the
current exchange rate ($1.00 U.S. = $1.19235 Canadian), rounded to the
nearest cent, that translates to $9.53 Canadian.

well ain't that just too wild , near 2 bucks a bottle here ,
i knew it was better in the US , i also knew that's why i couldn't live
there ,
the first time i went into a Railey's and saw one whole isle dedicated

booze ,
i knew if i stayed there very long ... i'd die , not to mention beer ,
in gas stations and 7 / 11 , nothing like that here in Canuck country ,
one store owned and operated by the gov and that's the only place to buy

spirits , wine or beer in the retail sense

Its even in the regular food stores here. I freaked when I saw a whole
section of wines in one of my discount food stores.
I think Ohio still has a law, where they wont sell on Sunday though.


alcohol flows much much much more freely in the US then ,
