A news theme that is almost as common as businesses folding in this economy is local jurisdictions calling for referenda to allow alcohol sales. Buddy, have another one. I keep going back to something I read years ago that seemed like a spurious, if not un-demonstrated, correlation between drinking and socialism (i.e., Bottoms up!). Could there be a link? Meanwhile, two businesses that are really booming in the area are wine and craft beer sales. >>Hiccough!<<
