I try to keep a case of wine on hand. I built uup a collection some time back. Now i simply try to maintain by rotating out the stock. Drink one, feplace it with one, if not two.
It's inexpensive wine, though, so don't be jealous.
Cheap bourbon, vodka and canadian generally flow like water. You'll find at least one in the cabinet all times. There's a bottle of scotch for Mom and Dad plus at least one decent bottle of bourbon.
Going to happy hour and not drinking is like going to an orgy and masturbating. You just took a great idea and turned it into a circle jerk. -Sixpack595

Exactly this. There are 6 stores within 5 minutes of me in any direction...
Not including my good scotch that I don't tend to have more than a few drinks of every once in a while.
I try to keep a handle of Beam, a bottle of Irish whisky, a bottle of Bourbon that isn't Beam, a bottle of Irish that isn't black bush and no fewer than 30 cans Genny. I generally succeed with the Beam and the beer.
At the most, i consider my home bar full when I have 4 bottles of booze (rye, bourbon, vodka and tequila), six-pack of beer, six-pack of coke, Sweet Vermouth, bitters, soda water, lemonade, orange juice, and Bloody Mary mix (that I never use).
My house has a utility room that I've converted into a bar because I'm the only one that uses it anyway. It's got all my carpentry tools, yard tools and a small file cabinet for my comic book collection, lol.
The most important thing however is a lock from the inside. No one outside can get in if I lock it from inside. There's no key, just a small hole in the knob that, if you know what you're doing, you can unlock with the right type of tool.
I can go in there, sit down on my bar stool, at the table, pull out a glass and just drink, read and write in silence.
