Single Malts. Of course I like bourbon, and it is most of what I drink, but when it comes to pure enjoyment of the flavor I like scotch. Not just peat bomb/islay stuff, I just like the malted barley over corn or wheat.Though the only rye I have had was Rittenhouse Rye, which was like an overly sweet bolder tasting bourbon to me.

Calm your tits bro, some people like the flavor that it gives the whiskey to dilute it a tiny bit.

I've been drinking scotch for years, I don't know if it's a regional thing, but nobody I know likes adding anything to it, ice water, fruit oil, nothing.
I know how it works, and if I had to add a little water to anything it would be an Islay as the water can help break up that creaminess, but I still don't like it. It's just inauthentic.

I got home from work at 10:30 PM tonight. I cracked open a liter of vodka around 11:00 PM and have been drinking enough to sustain a comfortable buzz so I can fall asleep. Its 2:00 AM now and about 75 percent of the bottle is gone. The scary thing is I have been doing this every night for the last few years without reprieve. I don't get sloppy or sick anymore. After a shot I will feel intoxicated for about 20 minutes and come back down to a baseline. I will probably finish the bottle before I can pass out.

It makes a great difference. But you don't want to water it down, that it why you use a single icecube (or piece of ice). The Icecube cools the drink down fast enough that it doesn't melt completely, and you should be able to drink it before the icesube is even halfway melted. As a poster said above, it opens up the flavor. straight shots are woody.

My anecdote is totally true. The reason I asked him if he could still taste food is because I, like you, learned in elementary school that if you plug your nose you can't taste food. Nevertheless, the part of the faggot's brain that detects smell conked out on him, and the part that detects taste did not.

Besides, who could make up a story like that? The guy also drove a yellow Rabbit with one of those wooden bead seat covers and a knocked-out rear window with a piece of clear poly taped over it for about four years.

I am not proud of being a drunk

He's still fucking mad.

Also, I never said "pleb," just insinuated that any thread on /ck/ with alcohol will be riddled with alcoholics; that OP shouldn't be surprised an an alcoholic response.

It was condescending to say the least. I don't really know why I'm defending him for blowing up tbh.

Btw just curious. For good liquor, like scotch etc how do you drink it? I like to sip on mine, and I have finished a bottle before but it took me almost 5 hours. Do you just drink it faster? Genuinely curious.

Something remarkably good, I usually have with an ice cube and sip over the course of an hour. Once I start getting tipsy, I move to cheap stuff, because there's no point in getting drunk off good (expensive) booze.

I've been known to have 3 drams of whiskey followed by 5 or 6 shots of rum, and then pass out and shit my pants.

What you guys think of red label and black label johnnie walker? I've been drinking it since I was in high school and was wondering what the scotch expert fags think about it.
