True, but liquer is still relatively cheap out here. Of course, people in Hawaii take their drinking VERY seriously.........some people I know call beer "Hawaiian Water" :mrgreen:

Yeah I think Alcohol is a state tax. Some states actually make it themselves and the state gets 100% of the alcohol profit (from the state brand)
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

I know it's frakking expensive out here; a six pack of my malt liquor is $5.50. Sixer of Shiner Black is $7.50, and they're just 12-ounce bottles. 12-pack of Budweiser? $20 Really good beer? Don't ask.

Malt liquor??? I think I might be sick.

it's 48$ for 24 Stella Artois here...or 11$ for bottle of decent port. Guess which I buy.

I don't drink much myself, but I think prices are fairly similar to that over here. The US seems to be pretty pricey in that department.

Beer averages at about $1 a bottle here for cheap to average stuff and maybe $2 for the good stuff.

I buy 1 litre of Vodka for $35 usually for my drinking.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I'm with you, Tsu - in college, I was all about the 40-dogs of Crazy Horse, or pints of (believe it or not) Mad Dog 20/20/ :lol:

'Round here, I can get a six of Bud longnecks for about $7 - $8, or my preferred (Pilsner Urquell or Hacker-Pschorr hefeweize) for $11 - $13.
