Cheaper than
"plain label BEER." Only downside was the 20 min drive to the county
line to get to a liquor barn. Was living in a dry county back then.
Good part was they had a drive through barn, so nobody had to get out of
the vehicle.
After getting my first real job, I decided that life was too short to
drink bad beer, though sometimes it still happens. Sadly. Still remembe
the first sip of Moosehead - talk about nasty.

And when you were really short you drank Bali Hai, less than $1 per
bottle. Or Canadian Ace beer, less than a $1 per 6-pack. Go to 711 buy
a Slurpee pour out half of the liquid and fill it with Bali Hai. I
wonder how I survived?

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
