The Holy Roman Empire was not holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. So I assumed Good Times Discount Liquor wouldn't necessarily be a good time or have discounts. Was I wrong. It was a most excellent time, and it may be my fave liquor store in Gillette.
The prices are meh. The sales are good, though.
Let me begin by introducing you to the alco-Slurpee machines. I was so surprised when I first saw these, on the Fourth of July, looking for something refreshing for an outdoor get-together with friends. It's convenient pick up a container of alco-Slurpee on the way to a picnic or party. It means no more having to blend a pitcher of margaritas at home, hoping it won't slosh around in the car, crossing fingers it won't melt.
The only place I had seen similar machines in the past was at Fat Tuesday's in Las Vegas and Cancun, Mexico. I thought I was in heaven when I purchased my alcohol, which was cherry-flavored and refreshing.
Like a gelateria, they let you have samples. The flavors change all the time. Today's included Blue Raspberry Island Punch, which contained Smirnoff vodka and schnapps, Orange Dreamsicle and Louisianan Hurricane, made with Bacardi and Malibu rums and Everclear.
On this weekend's menu was some Adult Chocolate Milk ($16.99) which is basically Mudslide. Topped off with whipped cream that contains alcohol - Whipohol ($9.99.) I chose amaretto flavor.
Check out this small bottle of Jägermeister. It was located in the refrigerator near the check-out aisle, as if saying, "Don't forget your medicine before you go!" It looks like a bottle of cough syrup or one of those sketchy doctor potients of yesteryear. I photographed it against a bottle of Canadian whiskey to show its scale. I don't like Jager so I probably won't buy the stuff... ever.
Don't forget to buy the newspaper, also for sale at Good Times.
At home, I had my Adult Choco Milk, topped with some adult whipped cream. I was drunk after this one glass because the chocolate milk had 20 percent alcohol. I don't know how much the whipped cream contained but it was strong.

To the left is a Good Times employee filling a gallon of the Louisianan Hurricane. Only employees can fill the containers, which look like milk cartons, in gallon ($25.99), half gal ($15.99), 32-ounce ($9.99) and 16-ounce ($4.99) sizes.
The employee didn't mind me snapping her photo. She noticed my Utah places when I pulled up and said she once drank at Applebee's in Cedar City, UT. The server wouldn't let her have more than one drink in front of her at a time, she said, and restricted her to three drinks. She wasn't impressed.
