Whiskey Down The Drain

6 years ago

Greetings All: Over the years I have thrown lots of parties for holidays and such w/ alcohol for those who wished to partake. I don't drink, and do not entertain anymore, so I would like the cabinet space. I have several unopened bottles of mid grade liquor (one 1.75 liter & two 750 ml Seagram's Gin; one liter 1984 Canadian Club Whiskey). I have partial bottles of those along with Dewar's whiskey, Bacardi rum, Smirnoff vodka. Not to mention unopened bottles of wine & sparkling wine.

I am at a loss what to do with it because it's illegal to resell alcohol here. Seems ashamed to throw it down sink and I would like to get at least a gratuity out of it. Most of my friends/family prefer beer and wine cooler type drinks. Any suggestions on dispossession would be appreciated. Thanks.

Box it up and put the box in the basement/garage/closet. That will empty your cabinet. Keep asking friends, one day someone will speak up for it.

You could try a pie crust with the vodka in place of the water. It's supposed to make the crust flakier. I haven't tried it because I don't drink vodka and I don't make enough pie to invest in a bottle. :)

As I understand it, this thing(I learned from the fire dept. today its called a waterman or water watch or something like that) is hooked up to a garden hose and piped through the wall into the crock to start a siphoning action when it gets to a certain level if the pump hasn't come on. If I knew any more I wouldn't have had this problem in the first place. And speaking of free water from outside, we got plenty of that today too, because I guess my DD had turned the "water whatever" lever to off. I had an appt. to meet an appraiser there today at noon, so I got there an hour early to get something out of the basement. Was met by water above my ankles in a basement we've always called the bowling alley. Boxes etc. were floating around for goodness sake! The fire dept. came to pump us out, discovered the "water whatever" had been turned off, and also the float on the pump had broken off (probably why the WW had been running) and was also floating. I'm sick to death of water. A little advice: Never depend on a doctor to check your sump pump. DD is an OB-GYN, and although her dad crassly calls her a plumber, she failed big time on this one. Luckily, though, she had bagged up 30 bags of clothes for pickup by charity tomorrow or I'd be hauling heavy soppy clothes out of the basement forever as well as all the other stuff. Hope y'all had a better day. Sandy

Toilet does not drain down

Simple test. Quickly pour a bucket of water into the toilet bowl. If it flushes well, the problem is not with the drain, but is higher up. If it does not flush well, the problem is in the toilet trapway or the drain after that.

Our contractor / installer made a number of mistakes with many things through the course of our Reno and left us as soon as we gave him final payment. A number of things were left for us to fix. This is just the latest. We would prefer to not let him back in our house.

You mid grade rating is a matter of opinion. That said, there's not a lot you can do if you don't wish to keep the alcohol. If your friends or family aren't interested in it, then I don't know what to tell you... especially if you want some soft of gratuity for it even though you can't re-sell it. I would keep the Vodka and wine for cooking. You can make a vodka sauce or other items. As far as the other stuff???? ethically, not sure. I mean college kids come to mind but probably not the best idea. Co-workers? If any of the bottles are still sealed, you might be able to donate them to charities or fundraisers for a tax write off. But if they are open, most places will not take them.

Make Vanilla with the Vodka! Find a charity that hosts fundraisers!
