I think pipps and rizz might find this interesting. Vermont controls the liquor in the state. Even though the stores are privately owned, the liquor board controls pricing and who gets what. The state may get only one, two or a few bottles of certain kinds of liquor, so instead trying to figure which stores will get them, they have a raffle. Five dollars a ticket will get you a chance to purchase a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle and others at the retail price. I've won couple times over the years, but have yet to take home any Pappy. I won bottles of George T. Stagg and 18 year old Sazerac Straight Rye. Unfortunately, I believe it's for Vermont residents, but I may be wrong about that. I do know, if you win you have to go your designated liquor store and show your ID to pick it up. Here's the list. secure.vermont.gov/dlc_rs/raffle/consumer/products.html |

Although in PA the state actually owns the stores and the Liquor Control Board has a very strong and corrupt union to make sure it stays that way. I always buy my alcohol in Delaware, where there is greater selection and better prices. But more importantly, I love that you won the 18-year-old Sazerac Rye. I rarely drank Rye until maybe 10-15 years ago when it started making a comeback-- it had largely been out of favor since my grandfather's generation was young-- now it's all I will use in a Manhattan. I prefer the bite you get from it. For my Old Fashioned I still go strictly with Bourbon. You got a good one there in Sazerac. Another of my favorites is Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond and also Pikesville. Another I really like is PA's own Michter's US 1 Barrel Strength Rye. Michter's was founded in 1753 and claims to be the oldest whiskey company in the US. Worth a sip or two on those contemplative evenings. But I am focusing on Bourbon right now for our Mint Julep soiree on Derby Day. Based on your suggestion I plan on picking up some Evan Williams 1783 and I might throw in some Buffalo Trace. You know last year we had some Old Forester sitting around that we used and it was a big hit. Some of those old school affordable Bourbons are really fine for Juleps. I remember in the 50s and 60s my Grandfather and his pals drinking Wild Turkey 101 -- they had nowhere near the selection we have today-- I pick some up occasionally in his honor. Still use Woodford Reserve as my everyday. Good luck getting some Pappy!! That's worth waiting for. It's a joy talking spirits with a knowledgeable professional such as you. |

Of course, I have no idea whether other states do this as well. One would think that any proprietor could order any spirit and in any amount. I do like the idea of pricing - saves the time of shopping around or biting the bullet to pay more for convenience. The only reason I know Pappy Van Winkle is from the series "Justified." Now that I have been sampling the occasional Old Fashioned, I'm paying a bit more attention to the brands involved. Admittedly, I am a neophyte to bourbon, whiskeys, and other hard liquor because my experience has been nearly always in combination within a cocktail glass. Very seldom have I taken shots or nursed a single spirit alone in a glass. Perhaps a couple or three times on cruises in the form of cognac and a cigar. |

You would definitely want to go higher end for sipping, as I am sure you know. There is definitely a connection between what you pay and what you get, but nobody has to plunk down hundreds of dollars for a high-quality bourbon. I usually just figure how much I feel like spending and buy accordingly. Unless you're trawling along the bottom shelf, it always seems to work. Boy, isn't Cognac wonderful? So civilized and always good form after a fine dinner. |

Old Forester has a solid following, and it is usually on most aficionados' picks in specific price ranges. Buffalo Trace is another of those said to be the "oldest continuously operating distillery in America," citing 1775 as its origin, though the name has changed in the past from George T. Stagg and Old Fashioned Copper distilleries. It is owned by the Sazerac Company. Buffalo Trace has really taken off of late almost solely from the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast, from which he advertises and drinks. Evan Williams 1873 and Woodford Reserve are also usually mentioned on lists of the best for their pricing categories. My experience with mixed drinks started when I was 13 years old and was selected to be the designated driver after my third oldest brother's wedding. My brother was eight years older than me and so were all his groomsmen besides me. If fact, the only reason that I was a groomsman was that his fiancé demanded that I be included. Turns out, she probably enjoyed my company more than his, as she left him after only a year and divorced. Driving Joey Guidry's van (of course, too young to have a license, but anyone living in the country learned early), after the reception, I drove everyone to the now defunct LuLu's Lounge, where my second oldest brother's friend bought me a Long Island Iced Tea. "I don't care where you go," Glenn Richard said, "You'll never have a better one of these anywhere!" I thought it was iced tea, reasoning that he had played a trick on me because he knew my age. After three or four of those, I realized no trick had been involved. In college, most drank beer, but that was just not for me. It's a rare occasion when I settle for a beer. So, I ordered cocktails that I overheard others drinking: Seven and Seven, Crown and Coke, Jack and Coke, Cuba Libre, Screwdriver, White Russian, Martini. After reading Hemingway, my orders began to include Gin and Tonic, Margarita, Papa Doble, Jack Rose, and whenever there was fresh mint, Mojito. |

So civilized and always good form after a fine dinner. I don't know that I have truly learned to fully enjoy Cognac for itself...yet. For some reason, the ocean (something about the sea air - as I am not a smoker) always brought the cigar out first, then the Cognac accompanied it. Yes, and always after dinner. What really ties up the experience for me is the conversation of others nearby and enjoying the same. As you know, I am exclusively a social drinker. Conversation at the pace of a good ring size cigar and Cognac is one of my favorite things. |

MD route 222, like many routes entering MD from PA has a liquor store. The smaller routes are littered with bars as the owners suckle the tit of PA’s liquor laws, which also don’t allow for little skank bars in certain areas… |

Tastes great and reasonably priced. I started bartending when I was 18. A friend owned a bar and was supposed to be bartending one night, but he drank too much and ask me to take over. Did nothing else until I was 33. Never much of beer drinker back then, so I quickly learned to stay away from the well and head right to the top shelf. Chivas, Tanqueray and Remy Martin were my drinks of choice, but today it's bourbon, straight Tito's vodka and resposado tequila. Gloria and I drink the former with Newman's limeade, Cointreau and fresh lime. I like beer more now because I like IPA's more than the piss water we drank in my youth. |

Fun afternoon sitting at a local walk in health clinic. I’ve been. Urging a bad tooth for a couple weeks. Last night I found out that I had lost the filling. Somehow it got very aggravated.
I got a bottle of that awful tasting topical numbing med. the kind with the tiny cotton balls and tweezers. I applied that. I think it got worse because I shoved the little cotton ball right in the opening in the tooth.
Then I took a tramadol from an expired bottle still in the house from a couple years ago. Still painful. Took another tramadol (they were only 50 mg). Still painful, plus I felt feverish. Took some aspirin derivative. Not working. Put an ice pack on it, getting very sleepy. Fell asleep finally as I pulled the ice pack away from between me and the pillow. The ice pack had left the pillow just as cold, and it was much more comfortable.
I made over a dozen phone calls trying to find a dentist that can see me. The best I did was to be able to leave a message for call back tomorrow.
There’s no real pain for now, but my gum is swollen. I know it’s just a matter of time before I hit that nerve again. I’m just trying to get something to start fighting the infection for now.,Might but me a bit of time until I can find a dentist.
This place has a 2.5 hour wait. I still have about 1.5 to go. 💤 😴…

My father-in-law is always losing fillings for some reason. Tramadol can be taken in doses up to 300kg, and there were 50 kg. The trick is that it’s addictive. The bigger the dose and/or longer the duration the more addictive it becomes. I think they gave me 200kg when I had my knee surgery. I took it before bed. Then I took it in the morning and fell back to sleep for hours. I could see the drill. Take meds, feel like Hell, fall asleep, wake up again in time to take more meds. I stopped after that second pill 💊… |
