When is someone considered too fucked up to sell to? Do they actually have to be bumping into shit? Or just a little wobbly?

There were times I've left the store and said "damn...can't believe sold that to me". Granted I don't drive, but I've always been curious what the cut off is.

I've gone staggering in to the liquor store across the street and they sold to me. But they know I just live right across the street.

Many years ago I got pulled over for DUI and I told the cops what bar I had been in. I'm sure the police notified the bar about it. The owner knew me as a regular, but he never said anything about ti to me. Maybe he gets those things all the time. But I felt terrible about ti. If ti ever happens again, I will not answer questions, I'll be polite and just say I won't answer questions without an attorney.

I saw one drunk ass gal who couldn't count out her cash to pay for the short dog, so she had the clerk going through her purse and counting out the money. I told him he's going to get busted but he didn't speak English.

In booze news, Savage gave up drinking, for her health.

* Update: Five minutes later, she mixed a killer Manhattan.

In other booze news, Belgium officially declares beer and chocolate to be "essential items", thus allowing more shop owners to remain open during lockdown.

If you haven't figured it out yet, beer and chocolate are also two of the essential meanings of life.

With the current events. This makes me particularly nostalgic. Those Belgies, they know how to have a good time. They make magnecient alcohol, and they are always willing to make decisions in alcohol's best interests.

"Gooooodbyee my lover, good bye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me."

Fucking hell, they won. I hope they're happy, with their shit deal that takes us back to the 1950s. Likely fucking my import of tobacco and booze, fucking cunts.

Now I shall drink!

Great. Grumpy's snoring has driven me out of the bedroom again.

And he expects me to make him the noxious ham hock black-eyed pea mess?

At least the gunshots have stopped. And no stray bullets hit our house. Welcome to redneck hell.

What are these whiskey or wine or what? You are some sort of upper crusty connoisseur of fine liquors. You have visions of power and thriving in the ruling class. You memorized Machiavelli as a youth. No, maybe you're just Joe Blow with an education of fine booze. Cheers!

I'll never meet Napoleon, but, I can drink the cognac with his little fucking icon on and then absolutely crush someone at a game of Risk! Take that Richard you strategic bitch!

Apologies, my moment of grandiose delusion took over. I'll find my glass... cheers!
