OT: Whiskey, Etc.

[Webstral]

As I stocked up for having my Irish-American and African-American family over for Thanksgiving, a horrible thought occurred to me. In 2000, where is the whiskey going to come from? Who's going to have enough grain to distill it?

For that matter, what will do without tea and coffee? I suppose there is some hope that a few of the communities along the East and Gulf Coasts will be able to obtain some from Brazil through the remnants of maritime trade, but the near-complete disruption of the overland trade networks will mean that folks in the Western states (and probably almost all of the other ones, too) will go without tea and coffee for a long, long time.

Oh, the horror! The horror!
