======================
Hi Nancy!
-> 
->  hn> We can get a goodly selection of beers and wines 
->  hn> just about everywhere, and when Michael was
->  hn> here we went to a place that specialized in 
->  hn> just beers...it was call oddly enough, "99 Bottles"!
-> 
-> There's a place here, locally, called Beers of the World.  I've not been
-> there, but my niece has, a number of times...  They specialize in all
-> sorts of beers, but have a few specialty soft drinks and similar as well. 
-> 
I didn't check to see if 99 Bottles had soft drinks, I don't drink
them often anymore so didn't even consider it!

->  hn> and we have wine shops as well...but hard liquor
->  hn> is only sold at the state liquor stores. About 5 
-> 
-> Different states/provinces, different laws... :)
-> 
As long as they get the tax $$!

->  hn> years ago Glenmorangie 12 yr old was selling for 
->  hn> about $65 a bottle...now it's down to about $45 
->  hn> to $50 or so! I usually do more drinking when
->  hn> Michael visits, but I do manage to have a wee
->  hn> dram on my own every so often! (grin)
-> 
-> I do have the occasional wee dram on my own, but as my husband isn't
-> into drinking either, and I don't like to drink alone, I mostly save it
-> for when one of my brothers comes to visit (or we are both/all at our
-> extended family's yearly camping... we tend to bring at least a small
-> supply).
-> 
I don't mind drinking alone...but then again
as often as I drink that's not a big issue (grin)!
Anne, my wife, does even less drinking than me
but she does tend to like the sweeter stuff. Her
usual drink (if she has one) when we go out is
a "Smith and Currans" which is basically kahlua
and cream with club soda...wayyyy to sweet
for me! Sometimes I'll have a wee dram while
we watch TV in the evening before heading 
for bed. 

-> Lest you get the wrong idea, though... hubby does drink beer when a
-> friend offers it at some party or other, and we will accept wine with
-> dinner when offered... we just don't keep anything but my single malt(s)
-> on hand at home, and he just isn't as into that...  :)
-> 
Anne's not much of a drinker at all, never really 
has been, an occasional rum and coke or Smith
and Currans is about her tops.
chat with you soon
