some seagrams. damnit, i thought this was scotch whiskey. oh well, 1.75L for 20 bucks ain't bad. plus it's in a plastic jug and not glass 
what are some of your favorite grocery store scotches/whiskeys?
i typically get a 750ml bottle of glenfiddich for $24 or so, but their price today was $34.
this seagrams ain't too bad, not as strong and complex as i'd like, but it is pretty smooth.
on my way to getting plastered.

^^^trying to discuss the complexity of grocery store booze in a plastic jug.
I like a little juice in my riot punch.

Seagram's. 
For a bargain, I go for bourbon. Evan Williams if I just want to get drunk. ($13 / handle) Bulleit if I want nice bourbon. ($30 / handle)
You can get some good Irish whiskeys cheap too. Tullamore Dew 12 in particular ($23 / handle) Bushmills and Jameson are a bit more obviously.
Scotch is a once-in-a-blue-moon drink for me. Famous Grouse if I want to get drunk. ($25 / handle) Glenmorangie or Laphroaig more than likely. ($30 / fifth) If I'm going to drink scotch, it's usually single malt or nothing.
Yes, I do love whiskey.

go to the dumpster and pick out the overripe fruit. Ferment that and distill it for some low cost but good shit.

The key is to mix it up with rootbeer in a big red plastic cup.

I've recently found the wonders of this.
Whiskey is nice in that it mixes with ANY soda damn well.
I mean, think about it... Coke, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, ginger ale, root beer. You can't name a soda that whiskey tastes gross with.

I like Wild Turkey Rye and Tullamore Dew, but the grocery store near me no longer carries them. But, Bushmills and Jameson will do if that's all that is available.

All excellent! Haven't had WT 101 Rye in a while.
I'm a bit spoiled to have a huge liquor warehouse 10 minutes from my house.

I have a large wine and liquor store about 15 minutes away, but the grocery I used to get it from was less than a 1/2 mile.

Right. I have a well stocked grocery down the block, but I calculated that the gas it takes to drive the extra distance is worth it with what I save on booze. Plus grocery store selection is never going to keep up with a huge liquor store.

try a bottle of lophroaig, someone mentioned it on the shroomery and I decided to give it a try, typically a bottle of anything lasts me a few months but I've sucked down a bottle in a week, then bought 3 more, shipped one to another shroomerite in exchange for his coffee and he too was very impressed, it's an islay single malt that's described as a medicinal scotch and let me tell you, there's nothing that comes close to being this good
BTW, it's a little more pricey than glenfiddich but very well worth the money

Be ready for a peaty scotch though! Glenmorangie if you don't like the peat so much. Both are about $30 for their 10 year offerings.
