"At any given liquor store, the most expensive booze you can by, can easily be tequila, even though it’s reputation as a quick, cheap way to get wasted usually prevails."

hahaaha I don't know about that. Most expensive tequila at my local store is a special bottle of Patron for $350 750ml bottle.

For scotch whiskey $28,000
$27,350,
$25,000
$17,000...and so on.

Whiskey has some legendary roots.
