As of 3:03 P.M., a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude oil is sitting at $49.90 USD. For $42.48, you can get a fifth of Wiser’s Legacy Canadian Whisky – decent stuff, but nothing fancy. If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to buy myself a Hellcat.

I can find decent rum here for that money. And with some luck a good single malt.
Lets see if the comment posts with the 2nd attempt. For some historical perspective, here is an article with a chart showing oil prices inflation adjusted to 2014 dollars. http://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Inflation_Rate/Historical_Oil_Prices_Chart.asp Note that we've had both peaks and dips in the price of oil and the past along with long plateaus of a new normal. Enjoy gasoline prices

All this info about distilling Alcohol into drinks is fascinating . I come from a long line of drunks but I know hardly anything about how the various beverages are actually made . Me , I like American ' pi$$water ' beers . You know the old saw " " Why is drinking Coors Beer like making love in a canoe ? " . -Nate
