Les Jones: No More Liquor Cabinet for Me

Food & Drink > No More Liquor Cabinet for Me

A few years ago I decided to finally put together a well-stocked liquor cabinet. I had wanted one for a long time, and put about $800 into stocking it with liquor and liquers. It was great being able to make any drink anyone wanted any time.

Last week I decided to get rid of the liquor cabinet. Having that much delightful booze around turned out to be too convenient and too tempting, and I wound up drinking more often than I would like to. Be careful what you wish for, I guess. I'll keep a bottle of something around, but I'm going back to my old buddy, beer. It takes a lot longer to drink a beer than a mixed drink, and you run out often enough that it self-regulates.

Already taken care of. :-)

I stopped re-stocking it, then threw out the bottles that were mostly empty, kept things like brandy and vermouth I can use in cooking, and told Starke I'd give him the rest.
