    I wonder, could it be because prices of everything except gasoline have jumped 60% in the past 2-3 years for no real reason?

      Alcohol still costs the same. At least at Walmart. I can still get the same ~$12 handle of bottle shelf vodka or ~$20 30 rack of natty ice like I did back in college. I could still get Mc doubles and Mcchickens for $1 back then. They’ve over doubles in price, but beer is still the same. Sustenance through beer is enlightenment out of the rat race.

        I’ve seen some alcohol go up a fair bit… a bog Jim Beam pint used to be $9 around Denver and now is $11-14 at many places, and a lousy half pint of Vidal Sassoon or whatever (oh, Paul Masson) went from $4 to $6. Depends on the state and the store though I guess.

          Denver is a pretty bad place to compare alcohol prices price, but even still, that is so much less than everything else.
