Tragic News If You Drink Tito’s Vodka & Soda
Newporters drink Tito’s Vodka and sodas like it’s going out of style, but some bad news has just struck the brand.
If you like Tito’s Vodka then brace yourself for some bad news and some graphic images. Just before the holidays, there’s been a horrible accident for the brand. For Tito’s and soda drinkers, this truly is a day that will live in infamy. A semi-trailer full of the vodka rolled over near Philadelphia, meaning that a whole lot of booze ended up splashed all over the highway.

No word on where this shipment of vodka was heading, so we don’t know if distribution in Rhode Island will be affected directly.
The Good News
Tito’s Handmade Vodka is a big brand. So big that the word “Handmade” has gotten it into some trouble, as they’re pumping the stuff out at an industrial rate. Two years ago, they produced over 2.2 million cases of vodka and had been experiencing 38% compound growth from 2006-2015. That means that there’s plenty more vodka where that came from. There’s just going to be another poor truck driver who has to deliver a truckload of Tito’s vodka before Christmas or some poor souls are going to be sober on Christmas.
