    More than 3 years ago I won a HotD LIF by @black13. Without getting into details, it had to do with my daughter, hospital treatment and in the end... a Hair of the Dog story. I was at the HotD 20th anniversary party in November of 2012 which seemed like a perfect fit for a follow-on LIF and I decided what I wanted to do... but I never got around to it. However this month I made the final payment for the hospital bill from that story, so it is damn time I do this.

    During that trip in November 2012, I brought home a lot of adult beverages. Some were bought during the drive, a lot were bought in Portland, and a lot came from a trade partner/trustee. It took the form of small bottles, large bottles, growlers, cans, cider, and a couple bottles of wine. I wrote down everything I brought home and calculated the total volume thinking I would do this LIF. So all you have to do is guess the number of mL I brought home.

    As a tie breaker (I doubt this will be needed), guess the total number of HotD bottles I brought home.

    1) Only one guess per person
    2) Guess must be in the correct units or we will all laugh at you
    3) I will keep this open until some time this weekend when I have time to sort through the numbers
    4) I reserve the right to add/change rules if I realize I said something stupid

    If you win, I will send you some combination of HotD beers most likely to include Doggie Claws, Michael, Fred from the Wood, Bourbon Fred, Matt, Otto, Cherry Adam, and Adam from the Wood. With different vintages, I will probably fill up a 12-pack.

    The only clue I will give is that we were driving a small car... but the trunk and backseat were put to good use... Tetris style.

    Cheers.
