That's why I gave up the bar scene and took up the Costco plan.
For sure! Kirkland Vodka as i understand it is now Kettle One, their Canadian Whiskey is Crown Royal, and not sure on the rest. Basically when those companies make their stuff they take the best of the batches and fill their orders, whatever is left gets Kirkland thrown on it and distributed through Costco, they make extra, and don't diminish the brand. So consumers can get equal or slightly lesser quality for a fraction of the price, just without the prestige of the label, which only matters if you're an idiot.
On that note, we had my brother's Bachelor party at a beach house (literally could jump into the water from the deck) and some college kids were partying in one down a bit, they walked over and we partied some. They laughed at my Kirkland whiskey, so we made them drink some "Smokey Joes" (not bad as long as you let it breath, otherwise it's like drinking liquid smoke mixed with everclear) whiskey, which was downright hilarious. Anyways, idiots care about the label, drunks like myself care about the price tag
