🏆 We've been "featured," Fingers Fam!

Happy holidays, Fingers Fam! Hopefully you’re reading this from the comfort of your favorite couch with a stiff drink in hand. Here, have 20% off a year of independent journalism about drinking in America: 

What’s with the sale? So glad you asked, dear reader. Earlier this week, Substack (the platform I use to publish) selected our dear boozeletter as one of its “featured publications” of 2021. They got us in just under the wire, but hey—we’ll take it! Fingers couldn’t have earned this recognition without the support and readership of the Fingers Fam, so to celebrate, I’m offering 20% off annual subscriptions through New Year’s Day.

And as an extra-special thanks, I’ll mail one of these limited-edition Fingers x Butts by Brando stickers to the first 15 people to buy an annual subscription via this sale, totally free.

I really hope you’ll consider backing Fingers financially with a paid subscription. I count on the support of paying Friends of Fingers to underwrite this work, and not to be too pushy, but a lot of the folks who read ye olde boozeletter the most are those who haven’t paid. Absolutely no judgement here—sometimes it takes me two or three reminders to pull out my credit card to pay for work I value. It happens! So if you value my work, maybe this will be the gentle nudge you need to buy a discounted subscription to sustain it: 

As a reminder, paid-up Friends of Fingers unlock full access to everything I publish here, including:

• Original reporting on the labor, culture, politics, and environmental impact of the beverage alcohol business

• Incisive commentary about how, what, and why we drink

• Long-form interviews with the most interesting people I know, both within the booze business and beyond

• All audio reads and episodes on The Fingers Podcast

And much more. I can only do this work with subscriber support, so if you enjoy Fingers and want to keep it going, buy a subscription today for 20% off:

Thanks for reading Fingers this year. I’m so excited to continue building this community in 2022, and I hope can count on your financial support for my independent coverage about drinking in America. From Fingers HQ to your favorite couch, Happy New Year!—Dave.
