root beer

I need some root beer. the GOOD kind. I wonder if they sell 'growlers' of root beer ... I wonder if there is an A & W around here.
I remember sitting at the A & W on Route 66 in Flagstaff (it was not called Route 66 then, but for the life of me I can't remember what we called it) after school in my '68 Mustang with my best friend, drinking root beer floats and watching other kids 'drag race' up and down the strip.
Then we'd go stealing people's mail (seriously. When I first heard that Dead Kennedy's song...I was so amazed that others had done this) and when we found cash we got booze and got drunk.
who sold us that booze? good grief. Why were we, at sixteen, able to get shitfaced on booze? Well...at any rate, we had a lot of fun stealing people's mail. Good thing we never got caught.
