This is a two stage mystery cache. The solved puzzle will take you to a spot where you will be able to get the coordinates for the final container. The final container is something a little different.
The cache description contains references to certain alcoholic beverages. It is not intended to promote the consumption of alcohol. Alcoholic drinks have been around since the begining of time. The puzzle merely speaks to some historical facts about certain alcoholic beverages. The information falls into the catagorie of "Who Knew?" or "I didn't know that!" or "Who the heck cares." You decide. By the way, Chin Chin is a French toast. No, not the kind you put syrup on. Bottoms up. CHIN CHIN.
The cache is, of course, not at the posted coordinates.
