Liquor Run turns your Windows Phone into a booze hunter
Liquor Run is a surprisingly neat little app, ported from the iPhone and Android, with a specific purpose: find liquor stores anywhere around you. The thing is, it does it well in a very fast and slick little package. By simply using your location, typing in address or zip code, the app shows all the known liquor stores in your immediate area. On top of that, it gives you turn by turn directions, maps, ability to call and local liquor laws for selling (hours, days, etc.).
Extended features include over 1000 drink recipes separated by category and a list of beers by alcohol content and calories. Did we mention it was free too? Check out the vid above and if you think you'll want it, grab it here in the Marketplace.
Bonus trivia fact: In Massachusetts, Georgia and Connecticut (where I'm from), liquor stores are called package stores and we go on "packy runs". No joke.
