I was thinking about that. If I was still drinking, I would have asked if you drank your piece or the captured piece to determine whether I wanted to be white or black.

Very expensive, but really good.

Nice. I do Like a Gin now and again, I must say. I've developed a bit of a taste for Hendricks, but haven't seen Monkey 47 for sale anywhere around my way.

Got a bottle of 15yo Dalwhinnie last night. Lovely it is too. That'll tide me over to Christmas.

Maybe.

That actually sounds like my ideal Saturday morning breakfast!

We were at Glen Brittle on Sky a few weeks back. The midges were incredible until we cracked open the Jura and they just vanished. Every time they came back out came the bottle. It was a real trial, I tell ya!

Like it?

Yes.

Love it?
resounding yes.

Drink it, Only if I get divorced first.

I miss the old days, man being drunk is so fun, I just lack good behavior in that state.

Was never a mean drunk physically, But wow, insulting, caustic, sarcastic ,pure real life troll.

This makes me wanna relapse. I had balls as a drunk, not this passive apologetic mess of nothing you see now.

Whiskey and Bourbon are perhaps the only hard liquor i can actually enjoy drinking (not counting mixed drinks or anything of the like). Jaegar tastes like cough syrup and Vodka and rum are gasoline. Gentleman's Jack is very smooth and the taste is palatable and nice. i can sit down and have a small glass to sip on while having a nice conversation or a mellow mood, and of course if i wanted to i could drink myself silly with it but often times that would be a waste of gentleman's jack. Vodka on the other hand is a one purpose deal for me unless its in a mixed drink: and that's to have an eventful night. Its neither appealing nor palatable and only serves one purpose. I dont drink heavily very often but when i do i dont use beer very much either. Drinking enough to make me very drunk often is enough to also make me feel full, bloated and rather quickly feel nauseous. It usually isn't pleasant. But the occasional drinking game is always fun.
