Post Body

Lately we're getting a LOT of duplicate posts in /r/alcohol. Multiple daily posts of "Looking for drink recommendations," "What's your favorite _____", and "Turning 21 tomorrow, what should I order?" are inundating us.

Most of them haven't even made it off the main page before someone else is making the same post. In a few cases they're asking within minutes of each other!

So we need a bot that will catch these (keyword/phrase match perhaps?) and lock, flair, remove these posts, and reply with a link to the subreddit search.

Thanks!
