    This graph clearly shows spirits in excess of 100% before 1966. Not. Possible. No matter how tiffany-twisted you are.

  2. tain says:

    Pink Champagne on ice?

  3. Daniel Z says:

    I submitted the same thing a while back (except only for wine). I was robbed ;)

  4. Boter says:

    It may be potential of each. Say, a storeroom for beer was only 75% full in ‘66. They know there’s no more wine not because they have to look through all the spirits in a single storeroom, but because the wine cellar has been empty for that long.

    It’s been a while, I wonder if they got wine in again… surely the song alerted the world to their plight! I bet there was a relief effort!

  5. Kyler says:

    ‘65 seems to have been the year to stay at Hotel California.

    • Jane says:

      Yeah, but the whole never leaving thing means you would have put a damper on things. Not to mention the drop in available spirits.

  6. Erica says:

    Nice job proof reading before submitting. Availablitiy?

  7. Overture says:

    Erm….am I the only one who thought spirit was meant in terms of “That’s the spirit”?
    i.e. “Bring me my wine!”
    “We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969″
    Emphasis on the hedonistic ways, summer of 69, free love, partying etc.

    Especially given that wine and spirits are generally separate on the beverage classification table.

    Or am I just missing the irony?

    • wykkedfae says:

      Actually, wine is considered a spirit, as is any other alcoholic beverage. However, you may still have a valid point.

      • elfinugget says:

        oh!! *song takes on new meaning* wow!!

        Wine is technically a spirit though you almost always see it separate (“wine and spirits”) I thought he was using some kind of code-word. “when I say ‘wine’, what I mean is, ‘high-proof tequila, got it?’”

    • Fish says:

      Honestly, I’ve always questioned that myself.

  8. Meh says:

    I thought the same thing, don’t feel bad.. :)

  9. Big Steve says:

    I never quite took it that way myself, but now the you mention it, it seems quite probably that that may have been their intention.

  10. A 14 year old says:

    I don’t remember Beer being said at any point in the song. My parents don’t get it ether.
