How much does George Bush charge you for a case of Heineken? I just picked up my Dad's Christmas case for $45. That's up a buck from last year.

My local liquor store is stocked with only the finest of American beers. We've got Yankee Jim, Old Miluakee, Miluakee's Best and Schlitz Gold. Available only in cans. All starting at $10/sixer.

The control boards just spent millions to convince us that Canadians are enjoying the lowest beer prices ever. Marijuana prices have remained the same since I started smoking in '90 and we've never needed a pot control board to accomplish that.

I remember roadtripping to upstate New York in '93 and finding a six of Moosehead for three dollars less than it would have cost me back home. My local brewery produces a Mexican-themed cerveza with water from Lake Ontario and suddenly the bars price it at the same premium as Corona.

I'm not cheap. I don't mind spending money but I know when I'm getting fucked. I'm switching to homebrew in the New Year.
