Don't want no pignickers (even in Connecticut) drinking the clay mug full of
water from the Old Summit Horse Trough.

If it's consumable liquids you're looking for, we have several
establishments
that would be happy to sell any quantity of just about any beverage one
could
think of.  But we certainly wouldn't want the horse trough giving away free
what our fine merchants are trying to make a buck on.
