Magicvalley.com The need remains Enticing or just informing? T.F. man questions liquor signs in store By Nick Coltrain Times-News writer
Scott Andrus was driving home after a day of plane rides when he saw the Old No. 7 sign — an ad for his formerly preferred brand of whiskey — that led him to consider breaking his months- long sobriety. “I drove by that sign and thought, ‘Why don’t I go in and just grab me a bottle?’” recalled Andrus, who hasn’t had a drink since April and freely acknowledges a past drunken driving charge and other alcohol-related problems.
