Hello, I am applying for the open Secretary of Liquor position. The people have gone without representation in the area of liquor, spirits, and booze for far too long. They are suffering.

I submit the below images in support of my candidacy:

Space above my microwave with the dailies


Space above my fridge with miscellaneous liquor


Space below potato storage with Canadian liquor, propane cannisters, and other junk I want to keep out of sight & mind


"Upper shelf" where I keep stuff thats tough to find or that my girlfriend actually likes


I also submit for your consideration the following:

-Most of the bottles I own are actually open, and many others disposed of
-I aggressively share my stash with my friends (hint hint)
-I am an attorney, which means I have a passive +2 to liquor consumption and accumulation
-My platform is simple. 1) Name an official liquor for Day Crew, Night Crew, and C-SPAM at large, respectively. I have excellent candidates in mind but you'll have to appoint me to find out. 2) Keep the glass full, daddio.

I hope the administration will move swiftly to rubber-stamp my appointment. Thank u for your consideration

if it stay full you aint drinkin none !!!!

point of order: the request to keep the glass full necessarily assumes that the glass will be emptied regularly

no beer

no boxed wine



plenty of beer in the fridge but this is for sec'y of liquor. as im sure u know the sec'y of liquor oversees the separate and co-equal undersecretaries of beer & wine

also, boxed wine is bad and the standard "pick six" discounts make bottles cheaper anyway

Mr. Vice President Squizzle had a very novel idea and I am prepared to entertain that.

Very well, open the Liquor Pit and have everyone fight it out with their best submissions including and especially Vox Nihili's frog sympathetic to a certain and specific political ideology themed liquor cabinet~

On you go into the pit of death, I mean the Liquor pit and fight it out between yerselves then. If the moderators would not mind a thread for this, we can call for a public vote based on submissions made here. Top 3 gets Secretary, and Undersecretary of Beer and Wine.

And as always, drink responsibly namaste

oh HELL yeah

now who are my competitors gonna be tho. show urselves

I bought all of my rare whiskey at MSRP! ... like the true drunk, I drive hundreds of miles looking and hunting down leads! I will not stand for these attacks. SAD!

Like the truer drunk, I drive down to the local store and pick up what's in stock, decent, and ideally on sale.

Like what'd you pay for that aptly-named Old Blowhard? $200?

oh hey just got back from work whats dis





oh, looks like the people's whiskey, Mellow Corn. $10 a bottle, 100% corn, bottled-in-bond (aged in government-supervised warehouses), American-made by an American-owned company, 50% ABV, competitive w/ blended scotch in terms of flavor

nice 'n easy on the rocks, eminently mixable

you dont even need a fancy glass to enjoy~

i am NOT going to name names, but SOME of my competitors don't even seem to own handles... for some reason they don't sell $200 whiskey in bulk~

here are the Essentials



for those that dont come in handles, you gotta get quantity. OGD 114 is deffo my Election Night Slammer, it's a high-rye mashbill straight bourbon, near barrel proof, thick & good cinnamon and peanut notes, OH and it's like $24~

i spend a disproportionate amount of my money on food and liquor and entertaining at my house. the bar is probably the nicest thing i own.

what kind of guests are you entertaining with all that HPNOTIQ, flavored alcopops, creamy stuff, white rum, and fancy vodkas?

look, im not saying youre inviting underaged college kids into your home and liquoring them up. i would never say that, that would be extremely unfair. im just saying that you have some very unique tastes

as true nite crew, I have neither shelf nor space for liquor, because I immediately consume it when I buy it :unsmigghh:

I'm the Secretary of Liquor shoo-in for sure

lastgirl said you can just post a bottle of whatever you have on hand and talk about it as an entry

go for it, IMO

If selected I'll procure a (knockoff) maga cap and put it in my grill and pour 151 on it and light it on fire and swig what's left of the 151 and take pics.
