Just what people know, I guess. Crown and Coke mostly. Also - Vegas bombs.

And here you go. Spec's is our (and nearly everyone else in the city's) wholesale provider.
First, those who owned a liquor store before May 1, 1949, can have as many permits as they want. The exception only applies to four of the more than 2,600 liquor stores across the state, said Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury.
The second exception, commonly referred to as the “consanguinity exception,” allows a permit holders who have a parent, child or sibling who’s also in the liquor store business to join forces and get as many liquor permits as they want.
That’s how giant family owned chains like Spec’s and Twin Liquors have been able to build dozens of stores around the state. Only seven liquor store companies benefit from the consanguinity loophole, according to the Texas Package Stores Association.

Sitting out on the back patio, just finished catching up on a little work, now RMing with TotD playing and sipping on this ... it's really, really good.

It was gifted to me, it’s a fifth, and surprisingly it’s only about $30 retail.

Alcoholism aside, I couldn’t imagine pounding anything then wrangling a toddler in the morning.
Oddly, I’m okay. And I wasn’t really pounding, but had three stiff drinks during the game.

You’re a bit younger than me maybe too? Or am I wrong? Man, the falloff from 35-40 on the ability to bounce back in the morning was really steep for me.

I’m 43. It’s all about sleep for me; I slept like a rock from around midnight to 6:30.
