add about $3 for a six pack of becks, here in utah.

vas930 12-23-2011 05:44 PM

Why is that, D?

nynor 12-23-2011 05:46 PM

because the state of utah controls all alcohol sales of anything above 4.0 by volume and they only sell it at state run liquor stores. thus, they have a monopoly. beers that are sold for about $1.25 each at the liquor store in colorado typically sell for about $2.00 here in utah.

an oil can of fosters costs $2.95, here.

vas930 12-23-2011 05:51 PM

Well, Fosters tastes as bad as oil. ;)

nynor 12-23-2011 05:53 PM

meh.... its not my favorite. but, if you handed me a fosters, i'd drink it.

Does the state have a specific use for the money they make from liquor?

WOW!
That must be an old law.
I cant see any government getting the votes with that idea.
In Australia, that idea would meet strong resistance from the drunk mass. ;)

you have to keep in mind that utah is mormon country, make no mistake. they have yet to legalize adulthood in this state. any kind of alcohol statute modernization is met with STIFF resistance. governor huntsman made some good changes, common sense stuff, and as soon as he galloped off to wash obama's.... er.... as soon as he went to be 'ambassador' to china, his replacement, herbert, overturned EVERYTHING with a complicit legislature.

fever is back. 100.2F called in sick for tomorrow.

HHI944 12-23-2011 07:37 PM

Soco spiked hot apple cider and an island romeo y julieta. Life is good. Can't wait for red to get back and enjoy some of life with her.....

HHI944 12-23-2011 07:38 PM

Gees, nynor, my sympathies. That truly sucks. I'll say a prayer for a speedy bounce back...

HHI944 12-23-2011 07:40 PM

Oh yeah, ditched the klonopin today, just zoloft now. Felt great, had a productive and enjoyable day.

nynor 12-23-2011 07:41 PM

thanks, man.

what is soco spiked hot apple cider?

HHI944 12-23-2011 07:45 PM

Hot apple cider with 2 shots of southern comfort whiskey.

My apologies as well for any stupid posts, I've had a fair amount to drink tonight. Killed a 64oz growler of up the creek beer.....12.5%..... it's the holidays and im enjoying it dammit.

HHI944 12-23-2011 07:48 PM

Damn, I can't wait for NYE. Red's bedroom balcony is just over from the rope swing where I smoke/drink. She did this little dance for me just before her family left for xmas that drove me nuts.

Evening all.

I think I am working on becoming a December hater. I should start a club.

HHI944 12-23-2011 07:55 PM

The beer is from some brewery in state and actually tastes really good. Think very hoppy ipa. She knows where she standard and I know where I stand, I see this working out very well with minimal real effort and her parents already like me.
