Stick 'em if you got 'em

In September 2022, after two years of publishing coverage and commentary about drinking in America fo’ free, Fingers began offering paid subscriptions for the first time. Today, roughly two years later, I’m offering you a killer discount to celebrate the second anniversary of this momentous milestone.

That makes 12 months of Fingers’ award-winning, unorthodox journalism about the business and culture of booze just $60 (down from $80.) Or, to put it another way: just $5 per month for smart, funny, fearless reporting and analysis about alcohol and America. Wow, what a deal! You should grab it before it’s gone, which it will be one week from now. 

To sweeten said deal, the first 10 people to upgrade will get a boozeletter sticker pack in the mail, including this very rare holographic logo joint I just had printed.

Paid subscribers get full access to everything Fingers publishes, including:

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

• Regulatory Roulette, Time Capsule, Buzzwords of the Week, and other recurring reader-favorite features;

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

…plus full commenting privileges, the entire three-years’-deep archives, and more! This deal expires in seven days, don’t miss it:

Look, I don’t enjoy sending these emails, but the truth is I have to. Journalism, particularly independent, reader-funded independent journalism, is a tough way to earn a living in 2024. Your subscription money directly pays for me to be able to afford to keep doing this. If you’ve been meaning to buy a Fingers subscription, and just haven’t gotten around to it yet, I’m hoping this reminder will be the nudge you need to reach for your wallet.

Please let me send you stickers—and let me continue to report on drinking in America as I believe only I can. Upgrading to a paying Friend of Fingers keeps the boozeletter in business. Hope to see you on the other side of the paywall!—Dave.
