Hard Times, Hard Liquor

When the going gets tough, the tough get drunk.

A story in a Pennsylvania news website Pennlive.com shows that swally holds a special and necessary place in many lives. While consumers are turning away from large cars, and expensive coffees, they're turning towards the drink.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board reports that sales of alchol have gone up almost 5%.


With the recession approaching Britain, it's safe to bet the mortgage (which may be not such a enormous gamble as it was 10 minutes ago) that similar figures will apply.
