...and you can't bring Everclear on a plane without declaring it a hazmat.
Haters gonna hate. More Gordon's for me

Also, this thread title had me terrified that they'd gotten rid of Woodford on board. That would be true mayhem.

With the movement toward more fees for everything, I think we can all see where this is going. I won't be surprised if they have two tiers in F as well so they can try to make a few more bucks off the ham sandwiches who paid to sit up front. Here comes 'Want Booze, Buy Booze'. Free? Sure, here is the swill grandpa just made in the back yard with his rusty lead lined still. Want anything half decent? That'll be $10. Thanks for your loyalty.

I'll be flying out of IND next week so I'll try to remember to ask to see if any changes are upcoming for the club.
That's across much of this part of the country unfortunately. I live in the region (Ohio) and my fiancee and I bought new glasses within the past year and had a problem with them getting cloudy almost immediately. Even though they're clean, they are very clouded. It's because the water in this region is very hard. We'll probably buy new dishware once we move unless we find the water at the next base I'm assigned to is that way as well.

I highly doubt this will happen. That brand-name Hawaiian Punch is expensive. I'm thinking Pathmark generic, but with about 3 times as much water as the recipe calls for (think of the red juice you would get at summer camp)

While I generally agree with that sentiment, I don't believe that Gordon's makes anything but Gin and Vodka. That said, Gordon's is owned by Diageo, which owns quite a few brands. So perhaps they are partnering up with Diageo for their spirits selection... While most of the higher end stuff won't be complimentary, most of the stuff a rung up from the bottom isn't terrible:
