Let The Good Times Flow

We were asked to do a wall graphic today, and the company we were contracted to wanted a few photos of the finished product. I don't normally go to a liquor store to take pictures, but then I don't normally go to work in a liquor store either. It was interesting spending almost 5 hours there. The store is a 'signature' location so the lighting is ambient, the music is mellow, the staff are all very friendly and welcoming and the multitude of pretty bottles on the shelf are just crying out to be bought. One cannot help but wonder about all the people lined up early in the morning to purchase multiple bottles of hard liquor, by far the drink of choice this morning. It was quite common to see folks walking out with hundreds of dollars worth of amber fluid. I am not talking about gasoline either. I do not object to responsible drinking, but it is interesting that our government makes it so easy and attractive for everybody, the responsible and the irresponsible to indulge in the most dangerous to society of all drugs. The cigarette packages , by law, have graphic portrayals of cancer and black lungs, to discourage smokers from using them, legal as they are. I did not see any graphic portrayals of maimed and bleeding bodies at an accident scene resulting from drunk driving.
