‘Operation Swill’

ABC 6 Action News in Philadelphia:

State investigators say at least one bar in New Jersey was mixing food dye with rubbing alcohol and serving it as scotch.

That’s one of the details released Thursday about an investigation dubbed “Operation Swill.” Twenty-nine bars and restaurants in the state are accused of putting cheap booze in premium brand liquor bottles and selling it to patrons who thought they were buying the good stuff.

Thirteen of the restaurants were TGI Fridays franchises. I might need to re-think my opposition to the death penalty.
