You know when you used to cry and the tears ran across your face and onto your lips and you'd lick them?

At some point in life, you forget how to cry and feel. Gin brings it all back. The taste of despair. Open up a bottle and contemplate what your life could have been like if you weren't prone to periods of devastating depression and crippling anxiety.

See how the fluid forms a cohesive border directly below the bottle? Proof that this is simply water. Alcohol spirits have a much lower surface tension and would have a much thinner, "splattered" border.

I have never had a bad experience with cheap gin. In my experience it has almost always been nearly as good as the best gin. Which is interesting. You know how some whiskey's are cheap rotgut and crappy? Gin isn't like that. It is just pretty to hey this is better than the cheaper stuff.

I had the most asinine conversation with my brother the other day concerning alcohol.

>at my apartment enjoying a whiskey
>my brother comes over
>Are you drinking alone?
>Yep.
>Why?
>Because it's relaxing.
>It's not good to drink by yourself.
>Why?
>Alcohol is a depressant.
>Alcohol is a depressant no matter who you drink it with.
>Well, it's not good for you.
>Why?
>I don't know.
>I drink it because it feels good.
>It just makes me feel drunk.

And the kicker? Not 2 days before he told me a story about how he blacked out a party and then vomited a figurative ocean of vomit on the guest room's bed. Somehow me drinking alone is worse than him getting blackout drunk and vomiting everywhere?

So ridiculous.

Finally opened up my first bottle of gin and made a gin an tonic

seems somewhere between tasteless and bitter, the carbonation keeps tricking me into thinking it should be sweet.

Though on the plus side, the gin seems to go down way easier than any other booze, and I don't even notice. And the smell is like crack, I fucking love smelling it.
