Gotta love class six stores...
For those of you who don't know; class six is where one finds alcohol on a military post. Personally, I like Jack Daniels. And I drink it often. Here in Virginia, we don't have regular liquor stores because we are a commonwealth (at least that has been my understanding since moving here). We have ABC stores. The local ABC store sells the big boy bottle of jack
(1.75L) for around $52 and some change, I think it is.
I just left class six a little while ago...$35 for the big boy bottle! 
Class six for the win!!

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | | Best part is no tax, so if you have a sale paper with a better price, bring it in. They will match it, and theres no tax so you get an even better deal than the stores.
By the way, how much is a half keg around you guy's parts? It's an average of 80 for a major brand, and 110 for a micro or import for us. |

As for kegs, I have no idea. I rarely buy beer and when I do, it's usually just a six pack.

I was able to buy the cheap booze as a CIV when I lived on post. I'm not allowed any more since I moved off-post, though I still work at the same installation.
