Sounds like TGIF wasn't the only places doing it. N.J. eatery served rubbing alcohol instead of scotch [link to www.usatoday.com] |

NJ residents deserve this. If " Jersey Shore " passes as a " culture " , the " rubbing alcohol" can pass as top shelf Scotch.

In another, premium liquor bottles were refilled with water - and apparently not even clean water at that. State officials provided those new details Thursday on raids they conducted a day earlier as part of a yearlong investigation dubbed Operation Swill. Twenty-nine New Jersey bars and restaurants, including 13 TGI Fridays, were accused of substituting cheap booze - or worse - for top-shelf brands while charging premium prices.

You can guess what happened after that, True story. |

Then yeah, beer would be a good choice. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34255868 You've obviously never been in New Jersey, where the SMELL overwhelms everything else. The stink of Joisey would wipe out anything you might smell amiss in your drink. |

I can't imagine any business owner doing this. |

Drinking rubbing alcohol can cause symptoms typically associated with drunkenness such as euphoria, slurred speech, loss of coordination, and dizziness, as well as the more serious symptoms of alcohol poisoning: vomiting, seizures, unconciousness, slow breathing, and low body temperature. "With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world." "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein |
