Local booze
Hi, are these statements grammatical/natural:
1. I avoid local booze because it's expensive.
2. Local booze is expensive.
I think these are fine. I think the definite article can be omitted before "local booze" (eg, "the local booze"), but I would like to check. Thank you.

anonymous think the definite article can be omitted before "local booze" If you are speaking of any local booze anywhere, yes. But if you are speaking of a particular locality, you need 'the'.
