(LIBERTY NATION) – 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.
Liquor MemeWalking 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.
