WHYTE & MACKAY SPECIAL—If you have to pay sin tax, pay it on something cheap

Liquorstore Bear ― My parents are refusing to buy any more booze. It’s too expensive and—if you believe the dire predictions about the upcoming privatization of BC Liquor Stores—it’s going to get more expensive. I don’t know what’s cooking in my parents&... (more)

RIP gummy bears…time for Bacardi shots

Liquorstore Bear ― My gummy bears have turned into unrecognizable sickly yellow slime. As all evidence of their bearishness dissolves, somehow my guilt does too. Now it’s time for…cannibalism. Whatever will those Bacardi shots taste like? I’ll keep... (more)

The dark side of gummy bear hedonism

Liquorstore Bear ― I got a shock when I looked at my gummy bears this morning. They were supposed to look happy and plumply saturated with rum. But instead, they’d turned into goo. Neither of my two brain cells had remembered my own posts about flavoring vodka with... (more)

The secret world of hedonistic gummy bears

Liquorstore Bear ― My Fellow Inebriates, One of my Facebook friends posted this on my wall: The Internet is full of good ideas, as anyone who’s ever researched a possible medical condition will attest. There aren’t too many better ideas than this one. As it... (more)

Can we really trust the sun not to cook us?

Liquorstore Bear ― My Fellow Inebriates, The whole family went out last night. My parents had been in a funk all day; the kids were glued to Netflix and needed to be torn away somehow; and my dad had a restaurant gift card—so off they went without so much as... (more)

Almost a beer moment

Liquorstore Bear ― My dad said his golf week wasn’t any fun at all. It was all business all the time except for the one day the team golfed with frigid wind whipping around, plus he was pestered constantly by clients on the phone. He didn’t even break into that... (more)

ENGLISH BAY PALE ALE—Good for frogs, bears, and wildlife in general

Liquorstore Bear ― My Fellow Inebriates, The kids went to Frog Search today, where they scooped tadpoles and salamanders out of a swampy pond, inspected them under microscopes, sorted them into categories, then sang a song to them as they released them back into the... (more)

ESTRELLA DAMM INEDIT—As perplexing as a lightweight Ben Wa ball

Liquorstore Bear ― Very occasionally my mum and her friends talk about interesting things, which makes me prick up my ears for tidbits that go beyond the ordinary childrearing conversational din. This happened today at the mention of Ben Wa balls, although the context... (more)

TOMMASI VALPOLICELLA (2010)—Well done, Tom

Liquorstore Bear ― My Fellow Inebriates, Mum and I both feel fully justified having a glass of wine (or two) every single night my dad’s away on his corporate team-building week. After all, he’s getting paid to golf. He’ll come back bronzed and well exercised,... (more)

GEHRINGER BROTHERS AUXERROIS (2011)—Good grapes, good vino

Liquorstore Bear ― My Fellow Inebriates, The only item you’re less likely to find in our fridge than white wine is Canadian white wine. Regardless of nationality, any white wine wanting entrée into LBHQ has to get past my parents’ childhood-instilled... (more)

PAUL & PHILIPPE ZINCK PINOT BLANC (2009)—On the agenda, if not P’s Show-and-Tell program

Liquorstore Bear ― My Fellow Inebriates, Even though my dad is too cool to tuck me in at night, I miss him when he goes away. So does my mum, although we both agree it benefits our beer inventory. My dad wasn’t going to share his team-building golf week agenda with... (more)

Do liquorstore bears have mothers?

Liquorstore Bear ― I don’t have any pre–liquor store memories. Self-awareness came on the liquor store shelf, next to countless bears just like me, all for sale (two for $10, one goes home with you and the other goes to charity). So I don’t remember any mama bear... (more)

Pursuing the elusive six-pack

Liquorstore Bear ― My Fellow Inebriates, Every so often it dawns on me that my parents really don’t love me. After I tried to recruit four-year-old Miss V to open my mescal bottle on Wednesday, the suspicion grew stronger still. Words like “unwholesome” and ... (more)
