I live in Florida, but in a relatively not-Scotch-friendly part of the state (NE FLorida, where it’s either beer or shooters, although I’m still not sure what those are).
Shooters? Isn’t that just another way of saying shots? I don’t really know - that’s just what I always thought.
The *one* advantage of state-run stores (and I am sure there is only one) is that your selection is fairly consistent. Both in PA and in VA there are no more than three sizes of store with the bigger stores carrying a slightly wider selection.
