Drink *IN* the Walmart
MUKWONAGO, Wis. - A man told police he couldn't help himself when he took seven bottles of a spiked lemonade drink from the shelf at a Wal-Mart Supercenter and drank them in the liquor aisle.

Police Chief Fred Winchowky said the 43-year-old town of Eagle man claimed he was a recovering alcoholic and had been dry for 16 months before he went to the store Oct. 14 with his wife, who was not aware of what he was doing.

"He went down that aisle and he said 'I just couldn't control myself,'" Winchowky said. "He stated he was upset he broke his 16-month streak and he didn't know how he was going to tell his wife."

The chief said security video caught the man drinking the 12-ounce bottles of Jack Daniels Lynchburg Lemonade over a 15-minute period. He placed the empty bottles back on the shelf.

Confronted by a store official, he first denied it but smelled of intoxicants, Winchowky said.

The man was cited for retail theft.

5. "the bank"
apparently (I am told) junkies call Walmart "the bank" due to their no questions asked return policy. Just walk on in get something and take it to the counter and get your money bank.

Seriously I heard this through a fried :bounce:

"Dead guy in aisle 482"

And what an awful way to go, to have the last thing I drink be that vile shit.

I would hope I'll have the class to at least be drinking something tasteful if I ever kill myself with booze. And if I did die drinking something crappy like Jack Daniels, or worse it's lemonade excrement, I hope my family would have the decency to lie about it. I don't mind the dying of drinking too much too fast; it's the idea that people would think me able of drinking something low class.

"Rabrrrrrr? Yeah, he died when he drank a bottle of LaPhroig 35 year old in 15 minutes".
