That is the thing with liquor -- even the most overpriced is so much cheaper in a store than in a bar, it's easily justified.

Exactly. What Hec, JZ and Megan and I threw back on Friday night was pennies compared to what it would have cost to have those drinks in a bar.

And I remember going out with Megan to a show in SF and ordering G&Ts and both of us sat there with "this was $10?" looks on our faces with our noses scrunched up in disgust.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't have a Costco membership anymore. I just realised there's one near where I work, but I'm not sure if it's worth rejoining up. TJ's, though, I'll have a look.

It was $25! A GG gimlet is, like, half that. Yipes.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Buy cheaper vodka and run it through a brita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But why bother? Brita isn't free.

I have no idea how much the vodka I currently have cost. If I had no vodka I wouldn't have hesitated to buy the GG. But I should be going wide with my liquor cabinet, not deep. It's all rum right now.

I didn't realize WA was a controlled state! Steve and I are trying to figure out how much wine I am legally allowed to bring to him in MA.

Man, I swear Scotch prices have jumped. I was at the booze store yesterday, and Oban at inflated WA prices (California, you are lucky) was almost $70. It used to be our $50 staple.

I remember when Oban was one of the cheaper scotches, around $35. Then scotch became popular worldwide and prices when up and up. I think the last time I bought it here, I forked over $85. That was when there was a shortage and It wasn't always in stock.

Wow. I can't believe there's a cap.

Mmm. Finally had the yoghurt chicken. Man, that was tender.

I hafta believe there is one, since I can't ship him any. :(
