Gresham’s law comes to mind.
“...who are buying cheap alcohol before they go out in what is known as pre-drinking.”
It wasn’t the pre-drinking that got me...it was the post-drinking.
Idiots. It can all be brewed or distilled for much less than those price minimums.
So everyone in Ireland is going to have to drink fancy liquor.
It used to be like that in the US in a way when the alcohol tax was so high. Inflation has reduced the effective tax, which put most moonshiners out of business.
Silly Ommadawns.
I think I’ll let them work that out.
Wow that is like $11 for a 6-pack of beer. The Irish are going to have to drink some really fancy liquor or else stick to drinking in pubs.
The shebeens will make a big comeback.
Expect Poteen to make a comeback.
At the foot of the hill there’s a neat little still
where the smoke curls up to the sky,
by the smoke and the smell y’can plainly tell
there’s poteen brewin’ nearby.
It fills the air with an odor rare
and betwixt both me and you,
as home you stroll you can take a bowl
or a bucket of the mountain dew!
