Interesting! Thanks! I had forgotten about the beer thing. Ours must be
under a certain percent too. We once went to a bar in Baltimore and I got a
beer. I am not sure why because I am not really a beer drinker. My husband
commented that I needed to take it easy because the beer was a stronger
percentage than I was used to. And I can attest to that. Never again.

I don't think we can get the airline bottles here. I did look for them when
I used to make fruitcake. Didn't see them at the liquor store. But I could
get them at the military store in MA.
