Pennsylvania alcohol sales continue to rise!
The on-going, depressing economic conditions seem to be driving more Pennsylvanians to drink.

1. Do you blame them?
Retirement funds gone. Jobs gone or going. Food inflation is out of control. Houses are becoming worth-less. Wages stagnant. Crooked corporations get bailed out while 'we the people' are forgotten. Life sucks and then you die. Pour me another, will ya?

2. It could be worse
They could be smoking more.

That would cause more laws to be written.

3. Tobacco taxes are going up, so can't smoke more
I read that there's a big tax increase on loose tobacco, so no more cheap roll-your-own. It would be an easy tax, not many people care.

I'm glad I quit. Or, I should say I HOPE I stay quit. It ain't easy.

:hi:
