Title: Alcohol !
Post by: Love Good Wood on February 23, 2009, 09:32:23 AM
Just to let everyone know that Waxahachie is now a "WET ZONE"... beer and wine available EVERYWHERE... So, for those of you that are staying at hotels and what something to drink, you don't have to drive 15-20 miles to get something

"Just be safe and have fun"

see you at Scarby!

P.S. no "hard liquor" sold close by... why is that?... people can get just as intoxicated with beer and wine, so why not sell anything stronger? I don't really drink beer (only on occasion) and I haven't found a wine that I like (if it tasted like grape juice but had a kick like Jager!)... Give me a Long Island Iced Tea anyday!!!

M'lord Doublet:

I have the answer to your dilema.  If you are ever in the Rochester New York  or actually anyplace in upstae N.Y.  Find a bottle of Widmers Lake Niagra Wine.  It is like drinking grapes.   It is a white wine but oh so delicious.  I am running low so when I make my bi-annually(every other year) trek to visit my daughter I will no doubt pick up a few cases to take back to the southern shires where we can't get it.

wonderful!... i tried a bottle of wine (can't remember the name) from a local who said it was a great starter wine... tasted like sparkling grape juice and only 6% alcohol (about the same as a wine cooler... haha)... it was ok but not enough "buzz" for $16 a bottle

i do hear that they are making Absenth in the States now... I hear that's one hell of a kick!... no wonder they see green fairies!

I just tried absinthe for the first time at a bar in Arlington a couple of nights ago. It was an interestingly satisfying buzz to say the least! Good thing I was walking home...

 What good news about Waxahachie not being so DRY anymore!
I have tried Absinthe. Ok for one time- but still prefer Scotch- or wine!

Doublet - since they don't have hard liquor, we refer to that as being only "moist" ;)

I wondered why the new gas station was taking so long to open down by I35. I bet they were waiting so they could sell beer and wine.

I guess this means that Scarby pubs don't have to be private clubs anymore.
No more stickers on the bottom of the goblets.

I think they'll still do it to "identify" those of legal drinking age, won't they?

Actually, the Festival is not within the city limits, so the private club lives on....

Just would not be faire without beer in plastic cups, meade-filled tankards, lifted spirits, and
jolly jubilations!

Yes and no, I discovered. Monte and I had stickers, which worked at one pub, but not at the pub by the chess match. He didn't have his ID with him that time and they refused to sell without it (unless you look 80?) Guess they figure we could've gotten the stickers from a friend?

Maybe you need to have 8 or 9 stickers like we do!   :o

Just kidding....sorry that someone gave you a hard time but the pubs changed people around this year a lot.
Hopefully by next weekend they will get their routine down.
