GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Meijer is limiting liquor purchases as Michiganders gear up for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The grocery retailer is limiting spirit purchases to two bottles of each item, WPBN/WGTU reports. The limit doesn’t apply to beer, wine or giftsets.

Meijer spokesperson Frank Guglielmi told the TV station the move is meant to insure against shortages that would leave some shoppers without ingredients for their holiday cocktails.

Drink moderately when you drink. Stay rational. Stay healthy. Stay alive. Enjoy life.

So two bottles of rum, or two bottles of each brand of rum? Either way, you could still walk out with lots of booze per trip. Two large bottles of rum, two large bottles of vodka, two large bottles of gin. Sounds like a way of boosting booze sales to me.

Food rationing is next.

Also power rationing.

If people think I am joking, think again.

Luckily for Michigan residents, they are not the only store to buy liquor at.

Definitely on the way to being “approved” to buy and sell with the...

Of course, that’s going to happen 3-1/2 years into the the “confirmed” peace deal.

It’s just is so nonsensical.

“Drink moderately when you drink.”

It’s 2020, that no longer applies.

Biden’s nickname should be Breadline Biden. He and his handlers are going to make life hell for us if Trump doesn’t pull out a win.

Home brewing is interesting. My wife does it, (all I do is lift anything heavy).

Mead is primarily what she has brewed. Great stuff, takes a few years to mature She does all sorts of herbal extracts and tinctures. She made a batch of Medieval medical beer, cures what ails you, did wonders for my stomach.

No, I don’t think you’re joking. I think you’re completely on target, and that they’re going to use restricting the supply of goods and services as their next means of control.
