Where's my beer?

Recommended Posts

I'm trying not to complain too much. There are people far worse off than I am right now. I have a roof, dry stuff, power and the phone works. The DSL is down but the dialup is working. I have Poptarts and sodas and water and GoFast and a beer.

Note that I said "a" beer. As in singular. One lonely 12 ounce bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. A bottle that I carried all the way home from North Carolina, knowing that I'd be happy to have a beer when I got home without having to go out and find a place to buy some.

Once I succumb to temptation and open it I will have no beer left. None. Zero.

Wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact that where I live is still under Prohibition. I can't buy more beer.

Should I drink it now or save it for later? Do I want it more now or will I want it more tomorrow?

The indecision is killing me.

I don't presume to know your situation, but can you drive or get a ride with someone to the next county for a beer? The whole area can't be dry!
I don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane.

What you can't go buy any beer anywhere right now?



I can go to several stores which are open but none of them will sell me the nectar of the Gods, that most wonderful combination of barley and hops, the one beverage that also has food value.... beer.

I can't leave my house between midnight and 6 am either.

Is this a Frances-related issue, like they're so busy dealing with other so-called "necessities" like water and bread that they don't want "to be bothered" with BEER?

Is UPS up and running in Florida yet? What is your mailing address? I can UPS Blue a twelve pack to you tomorrow, and I'll send it UPS Red if you say please! ;)

Well, I think it's more like the powers that be don't want us citizens getting all drunk and disorderly. Guess they have enough on their hands dealing with us citizens bitching and complaining about every little thing that isn't back to normal yet. :S;)

Two things I would have to say to the "powers that be"

1.) No power, no water, no nothing: what the hell else is there to do besides get schnockered?

2.) Wanna see me get disorderly? Tell me I can't buy my BEER!

We also have the prohibition problem here in Arkansas....bible belt....though most people can't spell it. The solution is to drink the beer, smoke a bowl, and DRIVE to the nearest liquor store, wherever-the-hell it is. Or in reverse order....whatever works for you. But don't let them limit your fun.

They extended the state of emergency. Still no beer for sale in Indian River County (which includes Sebastian).

But! Brevard county (on the other side of the Sebastian River, and the county I live in) has no such prohibition right now. I had to ask a friend who was bragging about having beer after I bragged about having power, then I had to drive a few miles and spend most of my quarters cuz that's all the cash I have left... but I now have a six pack of cold beer!!!!!

It ain't good beer, but it's beer. Sometimes it really is the little things that make life worth living.
