The bottle had a bubble in the neck that had cracked and leaked slightly.

Meanwhile, I had been "casing" the liquor stores in town. I found that the store was slow most nights, but especially Tuesdays. So, next Tuesday I went to that liquor store and brought the bottle in to exchange it for a "good" bottle. The store was empty and I struck up a short conversation with the clerk who must have assumed I'd been carded when I bought it. At least, that was my clever plan!

After that, I could buy booze at that store on Tuesday nights.
...didn't your mama ever teach you about the deleterious effects of demon alcohol?
