It’s known around that NO alcoholic beverages of any kind can be purchased in Latvia after 10 PM. Yeah, so what.

If you plan a house party or any kind of event that needs some alcohol shopping, you’ll be at the liquor store way before the party’s about to start. Let me guess usually it’s no problem to be there before 10 and grab you some more brew, brown water or whatever you’re up to. And more I mean MORE. Since you know you won’t get it later, you would probably buy like twice more, right? Plus some.

Now think about it. Perhaps you ain’t even gonna drink all of that! From what I know, there’s never too much of things like that though and all of that will be gone with ease. Well.

Second, I’m really lovin’ those announcements at the shopping centers: “Dear visitors! Please bear in mind that there are 15 minutes left till you can purchase your alcohol beverages”. A genius marketing move! Wondering who’s behind it, State Alcohol Sellers Society or something. I mean, with all the laws and bans, they can allow an announcement like this?

Look around - people are quick to forget about their sausages, breads and whatever department they were at the moment and run to the liquor department. Even if they DIDN’T need to buy no liquor. You know, just in case. Brilliant.

Go check the cashiers at, say, like 9:56. Everybody’s nervous whether they’re gonna make it before 10 because cashiers automatically shut down alcohol sales. “Excuse me, can you let us pass please, so me and my girlfriend can get this Martini through?” “Yo, don’t you see this Heineken right here I got man, it’s 3 minutes left”. Funny as hell, ain’t it? Well, until you get in the same situation yourself.

And last, but not least. Not to name any sources but, there’s plenty of illegal spots to get your liquor shopping at night. The quality of purchased liquid is discussable though but looks like it doesn’t stop those in need of becoming customers of such sellers.

Plus, you can hit the local pub, club, no prob’ - the barmen of the city will be just glad to serve you.

Better yet though, stay sober.

Milk Sucks. Sākumā domāju, prikols kaut kāds. Ha! Piens sūkā! Kā tad. Kopš bērnības jau zināms - piens, ko dod gotiņa, ir veselīgākais dzēriens, ko var dzert daudz un ka tas stiprina kaulus, arī daudzās darba vietās kaitīgos apstākļos deva pienu par kaitīgumu. Pat arī mūsdienās taču - eksistē pat valsts programmas, kas popularizē piena dzeršanu: Skolas piens, Got Milk?, nerunājot jau par komercializētiem projektiem, tādiem kā “AT piens” utml.

Amerikāņu saits pierādīja pretējo - piens, kā izradās, sūkā. Un, pagūglējot, arī Latvijā, šis temats tika cilāts: TV*Net rakstīja, pēc biedrības “Zaļā alternatīva” izplatītā paziņojuma un mēģinājumiem vērst cilvēku uzmanību uz govs piena lietošanas nelabvēlīgo ietekmi uz veselību, kā arī par piena nežēlīgo ieguves procesu mūsdienu fermās.

Hm, izskatās, ka real talk. Man jau nav iemeslu neticēt - ka redz kalcijs jau govs pienā ir, tikai tas nepaaugstina tā līmeni organismā, bet gluži pretēji samazina, kā arī pedevām palielina risku saslimt ar osteoporozi, pretēji visiem Veselības ministrijas oficiāliem paziņojumiem.

Izlasot to, kā arī atceroties faktu, ka viss paliek dārgāks, vēl divreiz apdomāsi, vai vispār apstāties pie Rimi piena nodaļas ledusskapja.

Be safe y’all.
