there's always absinthe, until recently the vast majority of liquor stores only had the neutered variety (as if anything that had 70% alchohol could be reffered to as neutered...), but hill's absinth (different spelling) has been popping up in more stores than i can count, even here in bc.

roomate was in whitecourt on the weekend and he got two bottles for $35 each, i called BS and he dug the receipt.
also one thing i regretted doing as shooters was the "one bourbon, one scotch, one beer".
made it four rounds, never, ever again.
