personally a bottle of everclear would be sufficient, one bottle ought to do it

Single Grain, Blended Grain, Single Malt, Blended Malt and Blended Scotch Whisky.

Matter of personal taste. Had an (now ex) in-law who got his snob on touting the vast superiority of single malt over blended …. last I heard he was headed for weekly dialysis. Your liver doesn’t discriminate.

yeah, it’s blended scotch…it’s not bad, but single-malt is better (and more expensive). I dont see an illegal drinking chivas regal, unless they stole it or got it free somehow

“chivas” also translates to “goat” en espanol …. Mexican soccer team named Las Chivas de Guadalajara.

Scheves family ( derived from the Gaelic ’seam has’) ‘Schivas’ an ancient Scottish surname taken from a small village, Schivas, on the banks of the River Ythan in Aberdeenshire, in the North East of Scotland.

Two completely different pronunciations.

Mexicans in my ‘hood wear red shirts with a big unfortunate “BIMBO” logo across the chest. Bimbo is a Mexican bread/snack co. that sponsors shirts for several Mexican futbol teams.

You can wash down your BIMBO cookies with Chivas Regal scotch whiskey while watching the Guadalajara goats.

I thought “Chivas” was a scotch whiskey. A fairly pricey one at that. LIthuanians often do use disguises that enable them to pass for Latvians. Stay Alert out there.

i really dig that poncho though! I still have a couple I bought in Tijuana years ago…still quite comfy! Maybe I’ll throw it on, grab a brew (or two) and wander the streets with a trash bag

Was that some type of flag on his poncho? I thought I made out the word “Chivas” and some other espanol. Nova, how can we be sure he’s not a Lithuanian in disguise. C’mon and take the bait, we all know that’s what you want to argue.

sierra nevada is good beer, I’ve had that brew and it’s pretty good stuff. try the dogfish head 90-minute if you really want a good hops experience, although you may have tried it already. I’ve scored a few bottles of the dogfish 120-minute, 20 percent ABV…strong stuff. One beer is enough!

I have a few batches I’ve brewed myself ready to keg soon, I used the cold weather of late for lagering..just stuck the bottles out in the back yard

They’re probably not quart bottles, but 40oz bottles, the preferred size for bums and winos. I must confess that I’ve not perused 7-11’s selection of bum wines, do they carry MD 20/20?

PS: to assay the accuracy of DportM’s powers of observatiion, the next time you’re in a 7-11, look to see how many cheap Mexican beer brands you can find sold in quart bottles.

Chicko - we can always go have a beer together. I had a very fine Sierra Nevada “wet hops” brew the other day. Absolutely first rate. Give that a try. I think it may be seasonal, so don’t wait too long.

No doubt “PAMPERED” by their parents in their home countries where they ACQUIRED a taste for American beer?

“Some day, my son, ju weel go to America where ju can drink thees fine American beer all day long by de side of de 7-11.”

Ya THINK, maybe, they stick a wedge of LIME in their PBR’s ???

nova,

actually one of the very few times I agree with you, most of that stuff is downright nasty…although I’m a professed beer snob. anything that comes in a clear bottle is gonna be nasty because it get’s lightstruck. I saw most of the illegals around 7-11 drinking the cheap stuff, like pabst, schlitz and other stuff. probably whatever is on sale is what they drink, I doubt they discriminate when alcohol is concerned.

Nice try - it wasn’t pricey imported Mexican beer…. it was quart bottles of some brand I had never heard of…

Still, you GOTTA keep an eye on them ILLEGAL MONGOLIANS flocking here by the HUNDREDS to STEAL our jobs!!!???!!!

No, Kevin, if it had been Mongolian beer, I would have been a little suspicious of Mongolians. However, because it was Mexican beer, I suspect pampered American college students who, for reasons, that never made sense to me, think pricey imported Mexican beer is cool. I always found it watery and insipid. I guess they grow out of it.

Free healthcare, free education and now free trash service at the expense of neighbors. Since PWC will start charging for ambulance service I suppose no more free transport to the hospital.

Better watch the nearby tenants to see whether they have trash pick up. If not they may be using “your” service.

hard workers? what a crock! the only thing they work hard doing is drinking and taking leaks on the sides of 7-11’s….

“Guess the Mexicans cant afford trash service or something…”

If you can’t afford trash service, you can take your trash to the dump. The only excuse there is lazyness, which is supposedly a problem with the American populace that we need these hard workers for??!?!?!
