As I wrote about previously, Liquor Stores Income Fund (TSE:LIQ.UN) operates retail liquor stores in Alberta and British Columbia. From a book value perspective, there is a great degree of variation in the resulting price to book ratio depending on whether you accept the full $260M of goodwill as realizable or not. One way to approach the issue of goodwill is to accept the book value only if the e

Utah recently upgraded it's alcohol laws. In a big move for the tourism industry, bars are now allowed to serve 1.5 ounces of liquor in a cocktail. While alcoholics, like The Skinny, rejoice at this news, some bars and clubs are not as happy. We have all been to a place where the drinks don't taste that strong, and there is certainly no law preventing it. Utah bars have had the perfect excuse for mixing a crappy drink...now they are just going to look like the cheapskates they are.Long live the tall glass of vodka.

I 'm talking about absinthe, the beautiful and ever-changing green color alcohol beverage that was very popular back in the 19th century.Painters, poets and writers were looking for inspiration with help of Absinthe fairy lady.Absinthe by Degas:The liquor was banned and surrounded by a lot of beliefs. It's supposed to be mysterious and addictive and mind blinder, but today with modern techniques the liquor is safe to drink -in moderation, but like any alcoholic beverages.What I really like is all the ceremonials around and the vintage touch of it. You need to have a special spoon and it's better to have the right glass and a little water fountain. You put the spoon on top of the glass with a sugar on i
A chemistry teacher wanted to teach his 5th grade class a lesson about the evils of liquor, so he produced an experiment that involved a glass of water, a glass of whiskey and two worms. "Now, class. Observe the worms closely," said the teacher putting a worm first into the water. The worm in the water writhed about, happy as a worm in water could be. The second worm, he put into the whiskey. It writhed painfully, and quickly sank to the bottom, dead as a door nail. "Now, what lesson can we derive from this experiment?" the teacher asked. Johnny, who naturally sits at the back, raised his hand and wisely, responded, "Drink whiskey and you won't get worms."
Christie's in New York is the place to be today for collectors of rare spirits. For the first time since Prohibition was repealed in the 1930s the famous auction house's New York location will place bottles of spirits under the gavel.The auction will include bottles of whisky, Cognac, brandies and other spirits. A bottle of Macallan Scotch distilled in 1926 and a bottle of Cognac Grande Fine Champagne distilled in 1811 are among the highlights of the sale. While bidding on some bottles is expected to reach into the thousands, there are other bottles in the sale expected to go for under $500.Christie's also will auction off a batch of more than 700 whiskies and rare wines as part of the sale.New York became just the seventh state to allow liquor auctions earlier this year.
So, yesterday I went out and bought some rum,Mojito mixer & a bottle of Manischewitz Concord Grape wine (I don't know what it is about the name, but it makes me laugh. It's gross, btw. Needs more acid).

I’ve known about this annoying ordinance for a while, but for some reason every Sunday afternoon I still keep hiking down to the 7-Eleven at 6th and Columbine attempting to purchase a six pack of beer.

I’m at a loss for words to deliver this news, but, it appears Lindsay Lohan was drinking this weekend. Gasp! How can this be? She’s been to rehab three times. Could it be she actually stayed at a resort with no quantifiable rehabilitative practices? Nah, that’s just crazy talk. E! Online reports:However, don’t think Linds has gone all suburban soccer mom on us—yet. According to some Utah locals, Lindsay was spotted at a Park City club Friday night. And despite her two-month stint in rehab, our barwitness thought Linds looked less than refreshed. In the future, when scientists unearth Lindsay’s corpse, they’ll discover she runs on pure alcohol. She can survive without oxygen, water, and food. As long as she’s filled to the brim with Mojito’s, Lindsay will keep running. Yes, it will be a fascinating time until Dr. Johnson spills his whiskey tonic into her open chest cavity and – Holy Christ! She’s alive! Hide our precious moon beer! Ah, my eyes, she burnt it with h
By: Joanne Dorin Almost everyone likes a drink of liquor on occasion. Of course, there are many types of liquors to choose from. There is the common, well-known liquors such as gin, vodka, rum, scotch, and bourbon; then there are those that are not quite so common such as liquors specific to a region. However you choose to purchase you liquor, serve your liquor, and appreciate your liquor is of course a personal choice. However, it is almost a universal truth that all liquor looks better, classier, and more sophisticated in liquor decanters. Liquor decanters are used to store liquor in a more decorative, matching set of vessels before serving the liquor. Usually, these decanters will have a stopper, cork, topper, or server that allows it to be served directly from the decanter. Decanters are usually beautiful and are often crystal and have elegant etchings along the side telling people what the contents of that decanter are. Usually, decanters come in sets ranging from two to four. Whe
Chicago residents and visitors will likely be paying more to enjoy a drink under the budget proposal submitted this week by Mayor Richard M. Daley. In a move that is becoming all too common across the country, another governmental body has decided to try to shake a few more coins out of your pocket when you decide to relax with an adult beverage.Chicago's budget is huge: $5.4 billion. Mayor Daley projects a $196 million shortfall, so he is offering up a series of taxes and fees that total nearly $300 million. Increases in property taxes and fees for vehicle parking permits will hurt the most. The tax increase on beer would equal an 85 percent jump, adding 8 cents to a six pack. The tax on wine and liquor would jump by 50 percent, with a bottle of wine going up 7 cents and a bottle of spirits increasing by 24 cents. These taxes are on top of federal and state taxes charged on alcohol.
I'm cringing as I add the 'celebrity' label to this post. But he is famous, so here goes. Steve-O from MTV's Jackass is going to be in Boston tomorrow, Friday 9/28. According to The Liquor Store's website (here) the party starts at 10pm.As you may have guessed, Steve-O will be there to 'tame' the mechanical bull. I think the scariest part of that evening is the fact that Friday night is Bikini-Bull Riding night, and the thought of seeing Steve-O in person, in a bikini, makes me cringe even more.But knowing him, maybe he'll just show up naked.

Last year a group of us were at a local Buffalo Wild Wings and we saw a great bottle sitting behind the bar. One side was red and it said Jekyll. Next to it was a black bottle that said Hyde. The bottles nest together to make Jekyll & Hyde. Of course we had to try it. They brought over the shots and it was warm. Didn’t love it but it wasn’t bad. On a return visit we found out that it should be served cold. That made a big difference. Since then I have seen it served in other places but never available at the local liquor store. That was until a few weeks ago. A friend found small bottles of it. I figured if they sell small bottles they have to sell big bottles. It took some searching but I finally found them. I guess the test phase is over and Anheuser Busch is starting to make it widely available. The best part is still the bottles. If you are wondering about the taste the dark tastes like Jagermesiter and the red tastes like cough syr

Young adults who drink malt liquor are at greater risk for alcohol problems and more likely to use marijuana, a University at Buffalo study says.Malt liquor is an inexpensive, high-alcohol (6 percent to 11 percent alcohol) beverage often marketed to teens, the researchers noted."In our study of young adults who regularly drink malt liquor, we found that malt liquor use is significantly related to reports of alcohol problems, problems specific to the use of malt liquor, and to marijuana use above and beyond typical alcohol use," study leader R. Lorraine Collins said in a prepared statement. Collins is a research professor in the department of psychology and a senior research scientist at the university's Research Institute on Addictions.The study included 639 young adults (average age about 23) who regularly consumed 40 ounces or more of malt liquor a week. The study participants were heavy drinkers -- they averaged 30 alcoholic drinks -- including 17 malt liquor drinks -- a week.Marij
The dreary city of Seattle attempts to put some smiles on the faces of the otherwise melancholy metro males. After nearly two decades, the city is lifting the moratorium on strip clubs. As long as the strip clubs keep a safe distance from sins (children, alcohol, Microsoft, etc.), they'll be allowed to operate. Though the urban-planning committee doesn't expect many to open, they claim that "the city is better off and neighborhoods better served by having modest restrictions on nightclubs." And what better way to get out of the gray skies than to walk into the silver pole-lined clubs.[via]

Of course! Everyone gets together once a month for our meeting on how we can most sufficiently screw with you humans. We play poker, watch hockey, drink Natty Light, whatnot.

Bolstered by booming premium vodka and whiskey volumes in 2006, spirits sales jumped by 6.3 percent to $17 billion in the United States. According to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States brown goods such as Scotch and Bourbon were up 4.6 percent to $5 billion, while vodka soared by 11 percent to $4 billion. Top shelf liquor brands lead the way, with a 17.5 percent sales increase, outpacing gains by well brands.Spirits are quickly gaining a greater share of stomach among American drinkers. They now account for 32.8 percent of all alcohol spending. Beer still leads the way with 50.7 percent of the spending last year, but beer is down from 55.5 percent in 2000. Wine holds a 16.6 percent share of the market, up slightly.
