Ok, I am shocked again! I mean I know the stuff is strong, but outlawing it? Obviously I'm not much of a traveler, but it really just surprises me some of the restrictions that are in place in other states.

Yes, I don't know when that happened - sometime in the 90s- you can't buy grain in PA unless you have a super duper special permit. Here is a handy article. (or two)

I find it quite ironic that our Whiskey Rebellion state outlaws any alcohol, but whatever.

Here is another handy thread. http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=1530

The state store system can be a huge pain in the ass, but when you grow up here, you just get used to it and plan accordingly (much like the weather). One of my former coworkers was convinced that all of the big-box drugstores that were springing up were doing so in preparation for privatization, but I have yet to see that.

That's the way I feel. It's just not that big a deal. But, I think I do most of my drinking in bars these days (instead of house or dorm parties), so it's never been a major hassle.

The ban on grain alcohol, on the same token, bothers me very little. Rhode Island (where I went to college) did not have a ban on it; Massachusetts--the next state over--did. I haven't had the stuff since I left RI so I neither know nor care if it's banned in NYS. But KEGS were/are illegal in Rhode Island. Weird, weird state.

As someone born, raised and attended college in PA I was shocked once I moved to actually see alcohol in grocery stores! Even now when I go into Target and see the adult beverage section, I sometimes still can't believe it. I personally never minded making the trip to the beer distributor and then to the Wine & Spirit Store - unless its a Sunday and the Eagles are on

As for Everclear, we had to make a trip to DE or MD I believe. Did anyone else go to a school where Jungle Juice was called something different? We called it Skippy (no idea why).

We usually just call it punch. It was understood to be spiked.

Sometimes I hear it referred to as joy juice, but that's sooo similar to jungle juice I'm not sure it makes a difference.

Joy Juice? I always thought that was something else...

We just called it punch.

If Jungle Juice = all the alcohol sitting around thrown into one big bowl with some red Kool Aid, we called that a Hairy Buffalo.

Grain punch is just, well, grain punch. With fruit soaking in it, obviously.
