A few years ago we finally got rid of it.
And there wasn't anarchy and chaos in the streets because you could buy your rum at Safeway? Wow, it's almost like the people who ran anti-blue-law-expiring ads last year in Pennsylvania were lying!
-
Yesh there was, but it wasn't as bad as when we legalized pot and literally every law abiding citizen was mugged in the same 15-minute period of time.

I found one of those ads!
CHILDREN ARE DYING BECAUSE OF LIQUOR IN KROGER!!1
-
The ad doesn't say so, but the one child a week who dies in North Carolina because LIQUOR STORES IN SATANIC CONVENIENCE STORES is actually a ritual sacrifice to Laissez-faire, the god of libertarianism.

I've reduced the effect of syndromes from ingesting body coverings. It was like the cat was drinking an entire mug of beer (which would likely kill it). I'm not going to mark this as resolved until we get some player tests in with the next version though, since I'm not sure it's the only cause.

This might give away my age, but Jagermeister is nice.

Usually lemonade with a fair dose of the very cheapest vodka I can find. Or beer... but wife doesn't like the smell. Actually, wife doesn't like the smell of anything, but she generally can't smell the vodka, so...
Anything's good, though, if someone else is buying.

Cheap drunks unite!

No, but it gives away that maybe you've got poor taste.
-
Anything with alcohol in it.

Man, that stuff's nasty. You should get your taste buds checked.
I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you this.

Virginia. For some reason, you can buy beer and wine (and hard cider and other malt beverages) at grocery stores, convenience stores, etc, but anything else has to be bought at state owned stores. Ridiculous
Every state is a bit weird. In New Jersey, there are no state-run liquor stores, but all alcohol - even beer and wine - must be sold by a liquor store. Some grocery chains set up a "store in store" where they sell all the alcohol, while others simply don't sell it.
When I moved from NJ to VA, it was a bit of a culture shock - that I can buy beer and wine pretty much everywhere (especially weird to me is in drug stores and gas station quickie-marts) but that for anything harder, you need to buy it from the government stores.
And I consider it adding insult to injury when the government liquor stores charge sales tax. All the profit is already going to the government to begin with, but they feel a need to append a surcharge anyway.
Jagermeister is nice.
Tastes just like NyQuil, but won't get rid of your cold and flu symptoms

Sales tax goes to the county / city, though. But yes, that thought had occurred to me.

Jagermeister is disgusting. Why would anyone want to drink alcohol that tastes like black liquorice?

Hey, I like black liquorice!

It's sweet!

I rather like the taste.

You're not using enough of it!

What? Black liquorice tastes good, unlike Jägermeister!

I should get a bunch of salmiac, soak it in vodka for a couple weeks (like the limoncello posted upthread), then send the results to @apapadimoulis
edit why does it take 5-10 seconds for the username autocomplete to show up? How hard is it for NickedDick to do
select * from users where username like @input OR longname like @input
???

I'm not sure if this was what was linked upthread (I would CTRL-F for it, but...); anyway, that ends badly.

I get this a lot.
"Hello, Mister Paaaaa.... Paaaa ... I mean, Mister Paaaapppaaa.... daaaaa .... mi? Mister Paaa paaa demo uuuuu lice?"
So, 5-10 seconds is a somewhat normal processing time I suppose!

When sleeping on the conference room floor, it's best to lay under the table; it's hard for the cleaning staff to vacuum around you otherwise
I don't know what's worse-- that you did that, or that the cleaning staff is just used to it by now.

Well, they do offer software free-as-in-
beerscotch

So... get the first few in "good" stuff... then the rest in cheap stuff... Not like you can tell the difference past a certain point.

Sales tax goes to the county / city, though
That varies from state to state. [URL=http://www.tax.virginia.gov/content/sales-and-use-tax]the current law in VA[/URL] is that the general sales tax rate is 5.3%, with a 0.7% additional tax (6% total) for Northern VA and Hampton Roads localities, and a reduced sales tax (2.5%) for selected food items. For all these rates, 1% goes to the locality and the rest (4.3%, 5% or 1.5%, depending on location and item) goes to the state.
So if they wanted to be "fair", the ABC stores should only charge 1% sales tax, with the proceeds going entirely to the local government, since the state is taking all of the profits from the store.
But nobody ever said the law was intended to be fair.

What do you all drink mid-day,at work, to make the rest of the day go away like a blur ?

Get enough cake and coffee from the cafeteria? That's what I usually do.

Hmmm...strange.
The key is to consume enough caffeine, fat and sugar that it becomes impossible to concentrate even if you wanted to.
-
that it becomes impossible to concentrate
I don't need any chemical substances for that, just WTDWTF or TV Tropes.
-

Haha.
What do you take if you wanna be the opposite? meaning it becomes impossible to not concentrate even if you wanted to.
-

Ritalin?
Yeah, I know, the bad ideas thread is
-

Coffee. Although I think the blurriness might just be from the twitching.
-

Yes, that puts you squarely in the "too young to know better" age category.
-

Yep, it tastes like black licorice mixed with cough syrup.
-

Two beer lunches. Three if the day is worse than usual. If the day is utter shit, don't stop at lunch, just keep going.
-
Three beer lunches are for "I'd be more productive if I just stay in the pub" days.

Yes?

I'm about to try Soju. Stand by.
-
I thought it would be carbonated. Don't know why. Pouring a couple shots. Perfectly clear, smells like ethanol and mushrooms.
-
Sip first. Doesn't burn like vodka. I guess that's the 20% abv instead of the 40% of harder stuff.
Tastes like mushrooms too. Very wood poopy mushrooms. I'm a step away from calling it "gritty". A very cautious, wobbly step.
-
Hmm, before I take a second taste, here's an image of the bottle. Because you might want to know what it looks like, and because it delays me having to take a second taste of this stuff.
-
Hey, what do you know: it still tastes like someone went to Little Korea, got the shittiest dried mushrooms they could find (from a dumpster, btw), reconstituted them in vodka, watered that down with sadness, and bottled it.
I have much better things I can be allocating my limited alcohol tolerance to. I'm done.

How drunk did it get you ? If It got you drunk at all.
