And I don’t want to waste it in lemonade or go to the store and catch the China flu. So I'm doing dark rum with lemonade. Not to shabby. I’m learning new boozing things in this mess.
So the bourbon is low

Squeeze a lime in there as well. Much improvement.
I might have to put on the mask and hit Total Wine tomorrow. We're going through the booze supply like Grant through Richmond. I recommend the Bermuda Rum Swizzle. Dark rum, OJ, pineapple juice, bitters and grenadine. You'll get diabetes but who gives AF now.

Other than stocking up on some beers from the local breweries a week or so ago, I haven’t bought any new booze.
I’m in my 3rd bottle of gin. Killed what was left of the tequila, and vodka is down to the dregs.
Beer is almost gone. As is the good scotch.
Lots of wine and bourbon left.
Low on tonic and bitters, out of Campari and vermouth.
Still have some novelty booze, but the longer this goes, the more likely it gets used up too.
I’m gonna have to make the mother of all booze runs to restock once this all shakes out.
At this rate, the house will be dry in less than 30 days...

This experience has convinced me I’d be well adapted for space travel and life on Mars. Just need booze and an internet connection.

@HillsboroDuck ?
Do you have any gerbils?

I thought I was stocked up with beer to the point it would be impossible to run out, but my consumption rate has easily doubled if not tripled, so I'm drinking my last beer as I type this other than an emergency Rainier in the shop fridge (break glass in case of emergency). I told the Mrs. we need to move the bi-weekly grocery store run to tomorrow so I can restock.

I’m raising some in my victory garden.

Yeah that’s the problem exactly. The supplies were budgeted with normal consumption in mind. However, we’ve been drinking more than usual. Like, a lot more.

Beer delivery to the rescue! Life raft arrives tomorrow. More than $50, and delivery is free. Like I needed the encouragement...
This explains your take on Pistol Pete.
The Throbber is fine with drinking more. Don't twist.

Dude, just watch the tape. He’s a slower Steve Nash with fewer moves, playing against vastly inferior competition.
I killed my first two 5 gallon kegs the first week. Admittedly, that included giving a few friends some care package growlers. Kegged another two 5 gallons(an IPA and a chico style ale) and spent a day brewing another two batches(hefe and a red ale) but realized I would probably go through those as well within April. Sent my order to Northern Brewers for another two recipe kits just to be safe. The Kegerator is paying dividends in this time of need. Have had maybe a can or two bottles otherwise just to change things up. Plus, I keep our mixers in there for Mrs. Bot since the fridge is fucking packed otherwise.
