Comment on Prices are out of control

Wish I could remember the name of the one liquorice flavored jawn, the fucking exception. Its the regular 40to45 percent, but was flavored. Dirt cheap. Only wrecked ass elder alchos bought it. Ill remember later.
Worked at the state stores for a couple years.
Also cheap bourbon > cheap scotch. Fight me.

jagermeister 70 proof or 35 percent abv. Commonly thought of as a knock you out liquor but actually pretty modest.

Lol that is the drink i described. Forgive my sleepy morning brain. Thats something I used to drink with the boys when we, well, were looking to not be very mindful of our evening.
What I had meant was Rumple Minz, a peppermint liquor.
Again not to gatekeep being a alcoholic. Genrally they drink whatevers in front of them.
But thats the one flavored liquor they buy by the handful. They were at the cheapest level, a doller a shooter when I worked there.
Honestly probably great for cheap holiday mixed drinks tho.

Probably more because of how easy it is to drink than raw strength… It’s way easier to put away a bunch of 70 proof sweetened liqueur than the same amount of alcohol worth of 80+ proof hard liquor, very easy to not realize how much you’ve had until way too late
