Hard seltzer is a psyop

Fingers is on spring break this week, and to celebrate, I’m doing a mini-subscription drive! If you’ve been waiting for the right time to upgrade your subscription, now is it. Score this sweet discount before it expires at the end of the week:

Remember, paying Friends of Fingers get access to every single thing I publish here, including:

• Incisive columns each week full of original reporting and analysis about drinking in America;

• Lobby Time, an essential Tuesday recap of booze-related legislative action from statehouses around the country;

• The Fingers Weekender, a curated digest of industry headlines optimized for Sunday scrolling;

…plus the entire three-years’-deep archives! All that for just $64/year for the first 12 months, instead of the $80/year list price. The sale ends at the end of the week, so don’t sleep on it!

As a bonus, the first 10 people to take advantage of this special offer will also receive a free Fingers sticker pack containing a couple old classics and one of these hot new designs:

Feeling extra flush? Consider copping a Fingers Founding Membership! If you’re a Generous Reader Of Means™️, why not take the plunge on a deluxe $200 subscription? It comes with all of the above, plus an exclusive holographic sticker, a 1-on-1 Zoom hangout, and the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing you’re going over and above to support independent booze journalism:

Thanks as always for reading. I hope you’ll join me and nearly 550 (!!!) Friends of Fingers on the other side of the paywall. See you there!—Dave.
