The Perfect Cocktail: Rum And Radiation
Permalink  
 

After WA State went to privatized liquor sales, I havent been

able to afford rum...the 151 rum. Used to be able to choose

from 4 different brands of 151. Lemon Hart, Cruzan, Bacardi,

and Monarch. Lemon Hart was $24.99 out the door. The others

were about $18.99-19.99 out the door. So far I've seen one

151 rum available at grocery stores, Bacardi with a steady

sticker price of $23.99 before another $10 in taxes. Maybe

I made the move to 100 proof vodka at the right time.

Radiating booze sounds illegal.

Vancouver Washington resident boozers are more'n willing ta traverse the 'big bridge' across the Columbia ta purchase their favorite libations in Oregon. Oregon booze retail sales hit records after Jan. 1st., 2013.

Washington folks from as far north as Kalama, and Longview travel south ta purchase their spirits now. Washington legislated a mandate ta get the state out of the liquor business only.

But they still impose controls upon liquor sales. And the state collects millions of dollars in spite of, or because of their decision. Pretty dumb thinking.

Oregon loves it though.

Uke, you like going to Oregon, you could stock up, save Krink a few bucks, depending on what you charge for shipping and handling fees, naturally. Hey, it's a window of opportunity, opening up right in front of you.

With the marijuana legalization... It's obvious what our state gubmint is up to. They've pissed away so much cash on frivolities that now they're flat broke, and with voters fed up with state stupidity, the Olympians will try anything ta refill state coffers, including controlling 'legal' pot growing, taxation, and distribution. The liquor thing was a total bust! Make your own from mouthwash, after shave, and gasoline! Mix with your favorite soft drink* ta cut the taste!

And remember that the *'candy, soda, and sugary' things were already highly taxed under a 2010 levy by our dear on-the-way-out governor.

Oh yeah...gasoline is highly taxed by the state as well. 90 cents of every gallon sold at the pump ends up in Olympia. That includes diesel fuel as well.

They are trying to privatize Booze sales here in PA tu. From what I read from Krink, it isn't working out well for the consumer.

The state of Washington thought that all the whiners would be happy ta have more say-so on the sale of their favorite adult beverages if the states role were diminished. So the state 'auctioned' liquor licenses to privateers, who are now selling the good stuff (like Krink's 151 rum) at extremely inflated 'retail' prices.

The state applies its taxes, and distribution 'guidelines, after that...well prices do not favor small-time drinkers...

COSTCO buys in bulk, and sells cheaper than most private stores, like supermarkets, and the local 'used-ta-be-state-liquor' store.
