beer counters

Fantastic work, Rembo!  That piece is gorgeous.

Have to say, when I first saw the subject of this thread "beer counters" I assumed it was something to help keep track of how many you drank already

Paul,

You did hear of the Terra Nova drinking game didn't you?  They show systainers in the show...so you have to drink every time you see them...  This Old House use to be more fun...before Dewalt sponsored them.... by the end of some shows we were singing Old Tommy Boy...  yea it was a PBS bar and boy would the Masterpiece crowd give us the evil eye for drowned about the sound to Upstairs, Downstairs...  [wink]  .. and boy could it get a bit rough in the parking lot...  If  you didn't ride Volvo.... you had better watch for door dings....

Cheers,
Steve
 
Those look like working beer counters in a liquor store. We could use some of those in our Ontario, Canada liquor stores. Right now, our liquor laws are living in the dark ages.
 
You must have a different kind of Pine in Russia or maybe the finished product is a reflection of your skill.  Either way, great work!
 
Классно. Как хорошо видить работу искусного мастера.

It couldn't be worse than Pennsylvania, could it?  For example, how many separate purchases do you have to make to buy three six-packs, a case of beer and a bottle of wine in Pennsylvania?

Four.

Yup, four.  Purchase #1--for the bottle of wine, you have to go to a a "state store" (state-run liquor store)--until very recently, no other place was allowed to sell wine.  Purchase #2--state stores are prohibited by law from selling beer, so you go to a "beer distributor" to buy the case of beer.  Purchase #3--beer distributors are prohibited by law from selling beer in quantities less than a full case, so you go to a bar and buy two six packs.

Wait a minute, you say, you just bought two six-packs at the bar for purchase #3, why not get three six-packs and be finished?

Because in Pennsylvania, a bar is prohibited by law from selling one person more than two six-packs at a time.  For obvious reasons.  If a person bought more than two six-packs at a time, why, there could be a catastrophe.  Pennsylvanian society, and perhaps our entire state, could come to an end...or sink to the level of all those other places where you can buy three six-packs at once.  So you walk out of the bar with your two six-packs, put them in your car, and go back in for purchase#4.

Regards,

John
 
In Australia they won't sell you alcohol unless ... umm ... ahhh ... errr ... well, unless you ask for it.

The only question you normally get if you're buying a lot of booze is ... "wheres the party and can I come?"

Probably sound a bit wild, but if you haven't already had too much to drink and you can demonstrate you're over 18, the sky's the limit.

Could be worse, we were visiting a friend in Utah and asked him where the closest good liquor store was. He replied "Wyoming"...

I lived in PA for 13 years before moving to the NJ shore, luckily we were across the river from Trenton, where we went to stock up. Someday PA will enter the 21st century.

Now, Kev, Australia sounds like my kind of place...

Well, if Rembo's beer counters are any indication, they have all their liquor in one place. I think we all should move to Russia and apprentice with Rembo.
 
Thank you all! I understand it on booze))
We can buy beer, vodka, wine in any store right away!
my dose in the evening, a bottle of beer and 250 grams of vodka  [big grin]
