WHY, OH WHY!!! What have we done to anger you Lord?

I hope this doesn't create a Beam shortage. Well, if it does I'll just have to get into what's left of my Y2K stash. Oh wait, I finished that off to celebrate the fact that there was no Y2K calamity...dammit.

 

[Repo Man]

Oh the humanity!!!

Why can't fire destroy bad liquor like Ouzo, Cuervo, and Jamesons??

I'm with you.... thank god it wasn't a tanq warehouse....

Can gin even burn?

Instead of a wall of flame, I imagine a little "poof" of flame and then a very elegant plume of smoke-and that's it

This story seriously brought a tear to eye

 

[donk]

I wonder if the local rummies started drinking out of the stream up river from the fire fighters dam?

tq

In my younger days I used to light shots of tequila, but I never let it burn long enough to seriously deplete the alcohol content.

 

[Jeff]

alcohol is bad anyway

The good news:

The company said the warehouse held about 19,000 barrels of bourbon, or less than two percent of its bourbon inventory.

 

[Richmond Jake]

I'm with you.... thank god it wasn't a tanq warehouse....

I'm more of a Beefeater kinda guy.

 

[SkeLeton]

Now this has to be one of the saddest days of humanity
All that fine booze wasted in flames... well at least I haven't heard of any drunk guys trying to kick the flame's a$$ because of stealling their precious bourbon...
