. . . would you leave?
lol would think about it lol
Prohibition in Vegas? I'd be the first to volunteer for bootlegging. I quite like the idea of barrelling up I-15 with a hot-rod full of illegal liquor machine-gunning my rivals.

Kind of like GTA with better hookers.
More like Mad Max.


I'm in.
Absolutely. If I lived here sober I'd slit my wrists.
that or buy a cabin up north with a few acres of privacy.......
It wouldn't really bother me as I only drink socially anyway.
I'd either be out of here or with Vegas and Bungle. Probably the latter, or maybe even with Monster up in the mountains with a still. We have all the equipment for wine making, can't bring myself to throw it away even though attempting it when the temp is so high is looking for explosions.

You can be Sally Field to my Burt Reynolds and Bungle's Jerry Reed any time.

the nor drinking really wouldn't worry me that much, but as an indicator of the temperature of the country I would be off like a shot. I am barely hanging on as it is...

Ruby Ridge style, where if the Federales came knocking, they'd only take your hooch away from your cold, drunk hands? :grin:

Yeah yeah, I'm with you on this one.

Of course living anywhere sober is a drag and I'm with Schopenhauer on this one

No, drinking booze is a very minor and insignificant part of my life these days. I'll buy a few beers or a bottle of wine only very occasionally and only have one bottle of beer or one glass of wine a day and don't even get close to drunk. I often go months without touching a drop so I can do without although I enjoy the occasional tipple.

I might just have to take a yearly vacation to the soon to be famous Rude Speakeasy in Vegas.
it would never happen
Leave? No, the only change for me would be the way I see in the new year. When you only drink once a year, it sure doesn't take much to get the job done. grin
