Yamazaki is great, but i rarely get it. I mostly drink southern comfort 100 proof cuz it gets you fucked up fast and cheap.

Bulleit bourbon is my absolute favourite but it is often out of my price range. I don't really tend to spend more than £20 on booze.

My getting drunk whiskey is Jim Beam. I mix it with coke zero. Like I said I drink it to get drunk and is usually affordable.

[Anonymous No.9574322]

>>9574038
Depends on how much you want to spend.
The best low ends are Forty Creek Copper Pot Still and AP Dark Horse.
Medium end ($50 CAD) if your in Canada to buy I'd say look at Ninety 90 20 Year Old Rye, Glynnevan Double Barrel Rye and Lot 40
For high end I'd recommend Lohin McKinnon Single Malt or Lot 40 Cask Strength the latter of which is insanely good but hard to find because its a limited edition but if your mum likes rye fucking get it before the prices rocket up

Because they couldn't supply enough despite improving production. Or they're greedy cunts. Or both.

I live in France so I can still find some original 12y but they're selling for way more than it was before so it's pointless. I'd rather buy something else.

The alcohol politics in Norway is so fucking retarded. I'ts 25% + everything. this means that if you buy sometihing expensive that tastes good, itt'l be fucking expensive.

If you buy something cheap that tastes like hand sanitizer it's not gonna be nearly as expensive because math.

Is this really redusing the numberof alcholics, or is just forcing everyone to dring hand sanitizer?

Fucking just put a set tax on alcohol so normal people don't have to drink hand sanitizer. This would still make it expensive to be an alchoholic but not fuck over normal people.

it's not like true alcholics don't buy the cheapest booz anyway. And they don't get adicted to the good taste, they get addicted to the drug. god fucking damn it. monney grabbing government

1. experience/time. Drink it more often, and you will eventually pick up flavors you enjoy
2. hard alcohol is higher proof than beer or wine, so you'll drink less of it to get drunk
3. you probably won't be drinking high quality stuff if you want to get hammered. Nice stuff is to enjoy, not to get drunk
