Yeah, actually I am...Liquor prices did come down once prohibition ended, and quality went back up, but with legalization comes a lot more volume. (Except for beer...Prohibition killed something like 98% of the breweries in the US, leaving us with 'good old-fashioned macrobrews' until the renaissance of Anchor Brewing in the 70's finally brought craft brewing back to the US.)
