The Bourbons from Buffalo Trace ( part of Sazerac, I
don't know for how long) are generally quite good, with
some of the best-known brands such as Pappy Van Winkle
among them.

And these, too - they are somewhat like little brothers
of the Van Winkles.

I seem to recall there having been a peppermint schnapps
that people had use for, but other than that I will heed
your advice except on those rare occasions when I need to
get drunk for drunkenness' sake. There are other alcoholic
products that are of dubious potability, see below.

The women with whom I have had close contact know to
clean out their mouths after having strong, especially
blue, cheese, Usually they have done so using tobacco
(bad) or alcohol (not so bad).

That's only USD20/lb, not unusual in a big city with
pretentious cheese shops.

I'm thinking that the state store won't bother to
discount even for a good reason.
