What a great thread!
I make my own wine so don't do a lot of shopping at the liquor store. Early this summer I went there to buy a can of ale to make steak and ale pie. While there I realized I was leaving for a 3 day remote camping trip in a couple of days where if you don't bring it you don't have it so in a panic I started filling a shopping cart with things I may want to drink - pre-mixed Caesars, wine coolers, bottles of nice wine, vodka, rum... The cashier (middle aged woman like me) rang it up and gave me my total; roughly $200 worth of booze. As I swiped my card I said "I only came in for a can of ale for a steak and ale pie" and we laughed and laughed... Yeah, not doing that anymore.
