VODKA, Ah yes, tasty VODKA.

Sorry Bubba your Intel is el wrongo. Since Costco picked up the concession to sell spirits in WA state the cost of spirits has gone through the ROOF. I paid $20.20 for a 1.75L bottle. Eight dollars and thirteen cents is just for Liter tax and sales tax.

Lucky me.

I used to gripe and groan and I was sure the state liquor board was screwing us. Before liquor sales were privatized here a pint of Jameson was $15.00 and I thought that was steep. Now a pint of Jameson will run you $25. Thanks a bunch Costco.

As a rule these days all I can afford is what I call turpentine or paint thinner. Sometimes I like it with OJ or pop or just water. Life ain't too fancy here.

And the Trolls enter NWFA again........

I used a Brita water filter pitcher, $20 or $30 at Bi-Mart. Ran it through 5 times I think (I don't remember exactly) but it took away a lot of the paint thinner/mineral spirits smell.

Bought one today.

Gona' buy some cheapo Vokka' tomorrow and try it out.
I may try filtering some water too

thanks for info

Sorry Bubba, thank the voters that didn't do their home work and just listened to television ads and read lawn signs, for the high price of Jameson.

Please Oregon voters, don't allow our liquor to be privatized! I love my local liquor store, Rose City Liquor in NE Portland on Sandy. A small place with friendly knowledgeable people, and a HUGE Selection of liquors. From the lowest shelf vodka to the highest shelf tequila. Everything from mixers to jello shot cups, martini onions and olives with all the stuffings, ice, lemons/limes, swizzle sticks and cocktail pics. Cigars, cigarettes, pints, half pints and minis. Most everything to make any concoction imaginable. Why anyone would want to buy their booze at a huge box store is beyond me. I haven't seen the cheep liquor is in Nevada or California so I don't know about that, but I'd say if a buck or or three on a half gallon booze is that big of an issue, well, you might have other problems that need addressing.

Washington? You just got what you asked for

I buy the cheapest! Then I add some to Mr. & Mrs. T and let my liver filter it out

 

[NONAME762]

Because I gripe about $8+in taxes on a lousy twelve dollar bottle of cheap booze? Perhaps you can tell me WTH is wrong with THAT?

 

[NoFlinch]

Slick??
Slick.

OK, what is it?

Am I Slick...or Bubba?



My 1 friend wants to know what to call me.

 

[NONAME762]

If I like or can at least tolerate someone I'll often refer to them as Bubba or Slim. If they start calling me names well that changes the whole ball game.

Earlier today me and another guy (I assume he's a guy) had some words. As luck would have it we were able to straighten things out amicably without moderators or administrators wading into the thick of it.

As far as I am concerned the matter is closed.

I was a huge supporter of privatizing liquor in Oregon, then I saw what happened in Washington and spoke with a few of the local distillers on how it would effect them and have reversed my position. State's going to get it's money regardless, and it's not going to pass up a change to get more if it comes around.

Right now I got no answers for you.

No offence intended Amigo.....

I noticed that someone mentioned the price of booze in AZ. Way CHEAPER there than in WA... Example Makers 46 in WA after tax is $44 and in Peoria (Mariners pre-season) it costs $27.50 after tax. CA is a buck more than AZ
WA would have been fine but the lawmakers (Dem control at the time) added a 20.5% liquor tax and a liter tax and then we pay 9.8% sales tax on the booze AND TAXES!
F-ing crooks.................

You probably don't have to buy any HRD to get an idea of how it tastes. Just mix 2 parts rubbing alcohol to one part kerosene, and you'll have a pretty similar beverage.

Bubba is the word.

Saw on the morning news about some local craft distillers who age their vodka in barrels -
which can impart the caramel color and does impart a flavor. Fox12 http://www.kptv.com/

That's funny, but probably not a good idea for optimum squirrel health.

Maybe cut it back to 1/32 of an oz per day????

Squirrel Re-hab?

 

[Martini_Up]

In no special order:
Tito's
Kettle One
Monopolowa
Crater Lake
and the newest addition; Vikingfjord. It has replaced Monopolowa as it's cheaper and just as good ( both potato, btw)

Mono, Viking and sometimes Tito's are for Greyhounds.

Key-tal eine , CR and sometimes Tito's are for 'tini's, up, 2 olives... sometimes a bit dirty.

my other spirit is bourbon. Favorite is Blantons neat, sometimes one ice cube. Too expensive to drink often so my other is Wathens, drank the same way but I digress... this is a vodka thread

 

[elk creek]

Whiskey and water.Very simple!And I do like vodka cranberry also Noflinch.

 

[coastal steelheader]
