Before I had ever tried Famous Grouse, I was in the whiskey aisle perusing the options, and some 60yo dude who seemed pretty kewl just slid into the dms and started prattling on about good scotch choices, recommended Famous Grouse as a servicable but relatively inexpensive choice for a scotch blend, I forget his exact wording, but he was fairly sing-song about Nice bite, not too smokey or peaty, etc.
Usually I'd ignore people like that, but he made a good case and I bought some then and there, and several times since.

Nope, I'm the guy who drinks famous grouse. Although I had New Amsterdam gin with Polar Dry Grapefruit last night since the day before I had such a horrific hangover from the grouse.
I'd generally agree though. Any blended scotch is pretty middle to low tier, and there's no justification for charging 30+ for 1L.

Yes, the ruskie stuff is good. No two ways about it. But I'm still amazed by how easy to drink Smirnoff is. Shit's basically free, too.
I normally stick to brown booze, but every now and then the vodka bug strikes. I usually drink the 'noff, but the Polack potato juice is good. Lukswusowa, I think? Friendo keeps it in the cupboard (and his car.) Good stuff, nice flavor for a neutral booze. Easy to get loaded on.

I drink every night, usu. about 6 shots and 1 beer.

Never experienced any withdrawals. I take a day or two off every few months just to prove I can without losing my shit.

I had no problem at all stopping cigarettes, weed, drugs. I just decided I wanted to, I spent a month or two psychologically curating my thoughts.
>every time I see someone smoking cigarettes, I think to myself, That's Fucking Disgusting, etc.
In that fashion, I rewired myself toward what I wanted to be. I think that was a very important and useful tool. Certainly willpower was also part of the equation, I'm just sort of a stubborn asshole about some things and I think that helped in making the change. I stopped cigarettes on xmas as a present to myself.
Quitting drugs was an obvious benefit, that shit can only fuck up your life, and I already feel like I am behind where I should be.
For some reason, the drinking is more insidious for me. I have my shit under control(ish) / I'm a functional alcohol-abuser. I can go without drinking a day or two at a time and have no consequences outside of, I'm kind of bored, and my mind is racing so I cannot go to sleep.
