and i bought that case of beer, like 4 months ago.
i don't think any liquor or spirits, or beer shortages will affect me all that much.
we still have a full gallon of Livingston White Zinfandel, i bought before Christmas of last year.....(the wife makes wine biscuits, but she did not use the white like she was going to, she used the red, and i have like about just a bit more than half a gallon of that left too)
i can survive any shortages.bryan21384 Thanks this. -
I’m pretty sure there’s a shortage now in AZ after five days at the house. The good news is they should have that worked out before I get back again.
