Hadn't bought a fifth of liquor for awhile, and was mildly sticker-shocked the other day. McCallan is 51.95 and Balvanie is 49.95, and those were allegedly marked down a couple bucks each. Glad I don't drink much of this stuff; I'd go broke. Bushmills and Jameson are in the same bracket IRC. I'll stick with Full Sale Amber at $12 or $13 a half-rack and $6-11 a night for wine. It's bad enough already when I go to the store and alcohol accounts for 75% of the grocery budget. Serious drinkers must spend a bundle!
