Bootlegger heaven. I used to drop off loads in Kansas and buy as much Coors as I could and haul it back to Tennessee. $5 a six pack in the early seventies it was a gourmet item (gag). Granddaddy was a bootlegger in Hickman county, Tennessee so I must have caught it from him. They can't stop it.

We’re probably going to have more virus spread in the next 24 hours as huge mobs race to beat the liquor store deadline than if they just allowed them to be open and operate normally.

Tom Wolf is such a moron.

Probably didn't get to ride with Sally Field, I don't guess.

Back when Tequila with the worm was popular, I had a friend who lived on the border of Texas and Mexico who would buy Tequila for $1.50 and sell it for $25.

I wish I could remember his name. I bet he is famous now.

Did it have to be kept refrigerated all the way? That’s the story I always heard.

I remember those days. I was in Florida and anyone who went west brought back Coors for his friends. Looking back I wonder why it was considered such a treat.

Florida had bottle laws then for which Miller and Busch paid the state legislature handsomely each year. Classic crony capitalism. Secure your market via bribes to the law makers.

Eventually by the late 90s the PR flack for them got so bad they threw in the towel and decent beer was finally allowed into the state.
