Why should the price be higher here than in taxaholic California?

whats funny is that people think that the state is actually out of it...

they arent...

10 percent Distributor fee and 17 percent retail fee...

that goes to the state...

all this does, is make it easier for lazy people to get their drink on... instead of going to another store, they can grab their burger and a bottle of Monarch at the same place...

state still makes a killing, and you get just as drunk, but broke faster...

One of the reasons I voted hell YES!!

had a craving for Gin and Tonic on sunny saturday - Drove 10 miles round trip to liquor store for gin and hit the grocery store accross the street from my house for tonic...

At 4.25/gal gas + all the drinking time wasted... I'll gladly pay the 27% just walk to the one store! -

but seriously, its only the media and the state that would want you to believe the sky is falling...

27% on a 20 dollar bottle is an extra 5.40... even with gas at 4.25 you could save a buck...

plus, what is the selection going to be like? its hard enough to get actual help in grocery stores, who is going to help you? are they going to leave the 150 dollar bottles of Remy and Henny out? (the liquor stores werent even stupid enough to do that)...

thefts and attempts will increase because it will be easier to do it at a grocery store...

i personally dont care, i dont drink hard A at all really, but when i do, i enjoyed the people at the liquor store... they helped, they were nice, and they valued their job, that they will no longer have...

So why is it that the only people that are so up in arms about the price increase are the ones that dont even drink?

oh and by the way, "drinking time" is worth way more than a buck

i drink beer... i dont care for hard A... when i buy it, i dont buy cheap crap, so it actually hurt me more than most...

100 dollar bottles are going to be 130 bucks now roughly... and its still the same sh!t, so its actually rather agrivating... i had no problems with it the way it was, i dont need to be able to get my stuff in a grocery store, because if you look at locations, there are TONS of liquor stores directly next to grocery stores...

it is what it is tho... but like i said, watch the theft rate climb... also, in the liquor stores, if you walked in drunk, they made you leave... grocery stores have drunk retards in them all the time at night... so now you will have to deal with even more of them...

hey chicken little - maybe you should wait for the sky to actally fall

...before you say it just fell

Unless you have a Costco card and don't mind buying your booze only during Costco's open hours, you're going to have to get used to having a smaller selection and higher prices.

If smaller selection and higher prices are worth it to be able to buy your booze at Safeway at 11pm on a Sunday night, then you will be happier.

Fish on...

If and when the dust settle's, I end up paying more then $24.95 for a 1/2 gallon of R&R then there will be a road trip to stock up and possibly a fishin trip involved also..............just sayin.I know where I can get it for $14.95 a 1/2 gallon of R&R.Good luck,

This made me laugh.




thank a lot. God.

That was funny


I say it remains to be seen

Redhook,
Since you know so much about the liquor business, grocery store crime and drunks that frequent grocery stores at night, you should open your own liquor store.
You can solve all of the issues that we might encounter while buying a bottle.

dont hate...

dont post

no..

get off your a$$ and get out once and a while and you might see some things... or dont, i really dont care...

Better yet, why dont you just tell us what we "might" see if we got off our asses...
