It is going to be a very dry Christmas for many Americans this year. Don’t take my word for it; head on down to your local liquor store and have a peek. All those container ships waiting to unload their goods at major U.S. ports are sitting on much of your holiday cheer. The natives are, shall we say, getting very restless and peace on earth seems in short supply as retailers run dry this holiday.
Walking into the state-controlled ABC store in Virginia this week was rather shocking. Not only were many of the shelves bare, but those who wanted to stock up for the holiday were not happy campers. The gentle, turban-clad state worker behind the counter had a frozen look of fear on his face as the woman at the checkout began scolding him: “Where’s all the liquor? What the hell is going on?” As her words rang out across the store, customers began chiming in. “This is state-controlled,” hollered one man, “You gonna tell me the state can’t even get booze?” Then the fellow in the bourbon section mumbled something that sounded a lot like, “Let’s go, Brandon.”
It is an eclectic outage: no Dewar’s Scotch, Grey Goose vodka, or Johnny Walker Blue to give Uncle Harry this Christmas. But there were shelves filled with Absolute Vodka and loads of every Tequila imaginable if that’s what floats your boat. Bottom line: there seems to be no rhyme or reason for what is on the shelves and what is missing. And a whole lot is missing.

How many died from alcohol during lockdown?
I lost two, one was a Heisman finalist the other a millionaire farmer.
I’ve only lived here a month and I’m convinced Florida will soon be the best country on earth.
In any totalitarian society, there will be ample amounts of alcohol. Mind you, not high-quality liquor, but large volumes of it to numb the mind.
Surely the Inner Party can do at least a little bit better for us loyal Proles of Oceana.
I was at my liquor store earlier today and it looked quite full to me. I have a feeling that they will be amply supplied throughout the coming troubles.
the key is state controlled. plenty of booze in every private store around
That's terrible. Fortunately my local package store still had a good selection of scotch on the shelf yesterday.
Uh,oh.
If you thought you saw rioting the past two years you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Spread the panic incitement: no booze available. Watch the Dem regime crumble in ashes.

Bourbon should be plentiful, as it doesn’t need to cross the oceans. Same with Canadian whiskey.

It’s a constant battle to keep the shelves stocked. Some things they haven’t been able to get since covid hit
Budweiser and Miller Light in bottles are particularly hard to get
Stay at home moms drink up all the Mike’s
If they happen to snag a bottle of Royal Crown, it’ll be the big $150 one. And only one
Right now I have homemade Wine, Amaretto, Kahlua and Apple Jack either finished or nearly there, in time for Christmas.
Who needs container ships? ;)
I can give you my Kahlua recipe if you’d like! :)
Peace is overrated.
Well it ain’t in Virginia.
Roll your own style? Sure
“Stay at home moms drink up all the Mike’s...”
LOL! (And I know you’re not kidding, either!)
