The price we pay to get inebriated.
Today I found our priciest alcohol at the liquor store. It costs $599.99 (we have two of them if you're interested).
It got me thinking...how much are people willing to pay to get intoxicated?

Happy Drinking!

You need to shop at better liquor stores.
Surely, a decent liquor store would have a bottle of champagne or wine or scotch or cognac worth more than a gimmick bottle cognac.
Or I can just buy the cheap stuff ;)
The worst drinks to get drunk on = http://bit.ly/mDkDh

sadly I will never know what it feels like to purchase a $600 bottle of alcohol, let alone a $1 million dollar one.
If you're into good cognac, try R
A 40- or 60-year-old scotch (assuming it was good to start with and was preserved correctly) would be way more expensive than "a c-note or two."
The Macallan 25 starts at $600.
THanks ejx! now...you gonna help me drink one of those?
Are you buying with all your mega blog bucks?
ha, too bad I don't get any mega blog bucks yet
:)
Oh I just saw the second half of this comment...these expensive finds are just through my internet research, I have yet to find them in a liquor store. As for the $600 dollar bottle of Cognac...the bottle is painted by an artist that passed away in 1990 and is a collector's item, not a gimmick. The best liquors store offer the full run of items...from the cheap..to the luxury :-)
My point was that the bottle isn't worth what they're charging, my point is I wouldn't really call it expensive liquor since in this case you're obviously paying for the packaging more than you are what's inside.
I guess the same can be said for Remy Martin's Louis XIII cognac with its jeweled glass bottle for $2k+, but at least in that case it is recognized as an ultra premium cognac.
The best liquor stores are nearby. :)
nearby as in where? My family is actually in the liquor business. we have a liquor store/deli/bakery in Chicago...and my uncle has a liquor store/bar also in the city on Elston. We apparently love our alcohol in this family?
Nearby as in down the street rather than across town.
I live in Lexington but will be Chicago bound in August for the Arlington Million. By then you'll have plenty of mega blog bucks no doubt.
Let's hope you're right EJ. My livelihood depends on it. :P
As does my ability to enjoy the finer things in Arlington Heights
