Doh! said:Back in the '70s, Coors wasn't available in St. Louis -- or all of Missouri as far as I know -- so my cousin, who was going to college in Kansas at the time, would load up his car and bring back cases of the stuff whenever he came home on break. The neighbors would gather 'round and he'd sell as many cases as he could manage to the thirsty, polyester-wearing set.
By the end of the decade, Coors was finally being sold in St. Louis -- just in time for my dad and his friends to realize just how crappy it really was.
I don't think Dad's tasted Coors since 1978...

#1 Luxembourg 15.4 litres per capita
scotrace said:I'm laughing because as I read down the list trying to find Uncle Sam I thought, "this is BS. We can't be beaten out by Luxembourg... or, good lord, Korea! I gotta step up the consumption and hold up my patriotic duty..."

Nope, sorry, snp.

Michaelson said:Ohio package stores ARE State run and operated stores, so yes, you are supposed to be an Ohio resident to buy....
...things are a bit looser along the Ohio border than you experienced down in Dayton....even though Dayton is ALSO considered a river town, it's a wee bit to close to Cincinnati to get away with loose law enforcement, as the BATF has offices there and Columbus.

Jake said:Raegan, good to see another member from Wisconsin. I believe that makes 5 of us now. Central Wisconsin, sounds like the Stevens Point area? I have been to fly-ins in that area, Watoma and Marshfield.....Jake.
Raegan said:I'm actually about 40 miles north of Marshfield in a small, boooring town.
