Where do you buy your liquor?

There are no traditional liquor stores where I live. I'm currently buying from a supermarket but the problem is, supermarkets attract a lot of people, most of them not drunkards. I live in a small place and countless times I went to the supermarket to buy liquor and ran into someone that knows me. I work in a job that have to deal with lots of people, and with public in general. Most people already think that I'm a wacky type of person and they seeing me in the check out line with a bottle of vodka in a weeknight isnt gonna help things. Of course I can buy the liquor in small 24h stores but it is more expensive there.


Does anyone else deal with this problem?
 
You shouldn't be ashamed to buy liquor. It is legal and noone really knows what you do with it once you get it home. I mean for all they know you are making vodka sauce or cleaning windows or whatever. If you are alcohol dependant and it's causing problems in your life then maybe it's a clue to get some help or just make peace with it.
 
I don't think you should care, it's not that big of an issue. Sadly, our society literally glorifies alcohol.

As for the original question: I buy my alcohol from government run liquor stores. In canada, aside from off-sales, liquor stores are the only cost effective ways to get alcohol.
 
I understand where your coming from you just want to come off as professional. If people think your an alcoholic that doesn't help and people can be very judgmental and hypocritical.

In some countries you can mail order liquor legally don't know about where you are. But what I would do is just go when nobody is gonna be there and buy like 20 bottles. If you see anybody just tell them you just finally got around to re-stocking your liquor cabinet or something. They'll know your not drinking it all that night and assume you just like having a wide selection.

Or you could send a trusted friend who deosn't give a shit what people think and have him buy a bunch of bottles and keep one for his time or something. I'm sure if you put your head to it you can avoid this problem. I work as a line cook at a bar so I don't have to hide my borderline alcoholism as much. I only drink an average of 6 drinks a night but I drink every fucking night so I wind up buying handles and cases quite often.

Plus I don't have a car so when I buy a 30-rack of beer I just hoist it on my shoulder and stroll 6 blocks through downtown on my way back home. I pass a Catholic school, a synogogue, and many faces along the way. My job sucks in some ways but its one of the few that really doesn't care about your personal life.

I have a friend at a booze warehouse so I buy booze from him at wholesale prices. Booze is generally cheap here in eastern europe and with wholesale prices everyone gets hammered for little cash

I think society glorifies alcohol only in parties, weekends. Most people would be shocked to know I drink vodka at my breakfast and then carry a hip flask and take as needed throughout the day.
 
^Correct. I drink every single night. Sometimes just one drink but I haven't missed but a few nights since I turned 21 When I tell people I used to drink a pint of whiskey a day and lived in a hotel for months I don't get any high fives. If I tell a story about getting shit-faced at the local college bar and stumbling home and loosing my keys people think that's really cool. "Oh you must have had a good time." No I had a better time slugging down alcohol like water in a shitty hotel cause I'm a dumbfuck drug addict and quantity is a quality of its own.

I buy almost exclusively from a liquor store called Dan Murphies, they are the bomb in Australia, almost always have the best prices and definitely have the best selection of imported beers for any mainstream liquor stores near me.

I always go to the same store really and have for years, the employees there must all know I am an alcoholic but I don't really give a fuck. Come to think of it, everyone who knows me probably knows I am pretty much a pisshead, in a way it does bother me at times but it is who I am so fuck it.

If I were you I would just stock up well when you go, that way there is less chance of people seeing you there and if they do you can make up some excuse like you are throwing a surprise party for your brother or some shit. I think there is a lot of judgement towards alcoholics in society but it varies, like I think people judge alcoholism more by how you act than how much they perceive that you drink, whether they see you buying a bottle of Stoli on a Monday night will probably not bother them but interacting with you drunk at noon on a Monday they might judge you. I think with alcohol people don't so much judge how much you drink but how well you handle it or function in society as a result, if that makes sense.
 
Dude, if you buy it AFTER work you should not give a fuck, do you honestly believe all your colleagues are saints? Are you so deluded?
They will not give a fuck. If they ask (which they won't cause they won't give a fuck) say you have friends coming over tonight and are buying it for cocktails. Ofcourse you could also simply say that you enjoy a glass of vodka after work to unwind, that's what I'd say. A drink after work is SO common and socially accepted that no will would even look at you funny if they were to see you buy vodka.

You're a grown man are you not?
 
I buy my liquor at Costco. It comes in big ass bottles and its cheap. Plan ahead and buy what you're going to drink in between trips. Problem solved.

Costco or Sam's Club.

Also, it's a bottle of vodka on a weeknight. You're an adult. Really, unless you take it WAY TOO FAR, Americans are very tolerant of drinking to relieve stress or to chill out or whatever you want to call it.

Unless you're drinking on the job... No one gives a fuck. Really.
 
i'm ~18(round it as you wish), so at the grocery with the Russian man.
 
lol just use the timeless excuse

"oh my aunts in town she likes cheap vodka before she goes to sleep"

I see countless people each day who are all ashamed about buying liquor like its some kind of illegal process

just own it man, who gives a fuck, the people behind the counter dont I can tell you that much.
 
Hahaha oh man OP you should try buying two bottles of dxm and make it right after smoking so you reak of weed real proper. That's a hilarious feel, I like to act surprised sometimes when they ID for the cough syrup...
 
If you're that embarrassed (i don't understand it personally), step your veggie and fruit game up at the supermarket. Then at least you're an alcoholic who eats right.
 
like drug mentor, dan murphys. its adjacent my pharmacy and round the corner from my dr office, corner store and butcher. its actually attached to our local leagues club so i can duck in there for a pint, pick up what grog i want and catch the courtesey bus home.

great variety and cheap.
 
I'm from Canada, people won't bat an eye if you're buying liquor on a weekday unless they're head is stuck up their own ass.
But in Alberta only liquor stores are able to sell liquor and the buildings or areas have to be separate from the rest of the store.
For example costco has a liquor area inside the main building, but it is fenced in with chicken wire fence and there is a security guard at the entrance and the liquor must be bought in the fenced area separate from your groceries
