Whole grain sales at the farm supply should skyrocket.

How about a loss of welfare benefits if they are finding the funds for such extras?

Time to start a still to defeat the revenooers

It’s being bought with OPM (Other Peoples’ Money).

Much like our immigrant labor who wire money back HOME to Mexico and make up their shortfall in this country with public assistance.

[Pearls Before Swine]

They’ll turn to heroin, as documented in “Trainspotting.”

[Spok]

When one depends on the government, that’s precisely the kind of thing they should expect.

Both Scotland and Ireland have long rocky coasts with thousands of inlets & coves. Ideal for smuggling.

The Soviets tried repeatedly to curb public drunkenness by raising the price of vodka, a state controlled product since the days of Ivan the Terrible. This only led to epidemics of alcohol-related deaths from deadly bootleg hootch made from unimaginable ingredients.

Maybe it’s a lack of national purpose and anomie only worsened by secularism and Muslim invasion. Drink & forget.

Even the Russians are turning the corner, with religious influence growing in a once atheistic society.

Work is the curse of the drinking class.

Otis Campbell (of the Clan Campbell) was one of their best customers. Andy and Barney were forever having to find and bust up a still.

So your assertion is that if somebody is giving you charity they can’t attach strings aimed at making you self sufficient?

Get a real job you filthy hippy.

[Boogieman]

Enterprising people will just brew up their own bootleg liquor and sell it at a discount.

[Boogieman]

Oh show me the way to the next whiskey bar.
No, don’t ask why, oh no, don’t ask why.
Just show me the way to the next whiskey bar.
No, don’t ask why, oh no, don’t ask why.

For if we can’t find the next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die.

[eldoradude]

Morons. All that will do is encourage the black market.

On the positive side, Scottish moonshine could be pretty decent.

Joking aside I predict that increasing the price of a shot will turn all the low income alkies into thieves like heroin addicts.

Do you get these ideas from Free Republic ?

As a matter of fact yes. Plenty of FReepers lamenting that Welfare recipients buy top shelf groceries, cigarettes, etc, with our tax dollars.
