I’ve been going through bottles and bottles of bourbon lately.... Figured we need more content on here lately.
Anyone had any good shit lately?
I toured Foundry in DSM a few weeks back for work, had meeting there. Pretty neat what they do there with offering custom distilling projects and taking wort from craft breweries and fermenting/distilling it into whisky. They have one called midnight ritual, made from Boulevard Wheat wort, that’s really good, but expensive...
Whistle Pig is damn good rye.
Also edibles are nice.

Sorry, I don't drink brown liquor other than Scotch because of an alcoholism gene in my bloodline so I can't offer any recommendations.

I can easily down 3 bud lights in ten minutes but get me a large can of that hoppy Surly Furious and that can take 30.

You obviously are a Busch light fan I’m a fan of fresh beer. Surly has somehow built a brand around the notion of only selling fresh hop forward beers while selling hop forward beers that are old and taste terrible.

Look, sugartoots, the problem with most brown liquors is that the men in the paternal side of my family all have no natural limiter to keep us from totally crushing the stuff. It just goes down like water. I don't know what it is, it's like some genetic shit or something. My old man has it, my uncle has it, my cousins have/had it, my granddad had it.

Listen firecrotch, I know what you’re saying. I can struggle to drink 8 oz of water but put some booze in my hand and that shit is going down faster than ghost can drink a white claw. However I’m blessed with a body that can’t handle a lot of booze without some unwanted side affects so I manage to keep it under control (except certain 7 fall Saturday’s, pandemic year excluded). If you’ve got that alcoholic gene then you’re better off not having any which I think you know.

Good article. Self control is definitely genetic and definitely is related to ADHD. Pretty sure my sure my husband has the AD part as does my third daughter. Not the hyperactivity part. I believe I have pretty good self control as I haven’t killed either one of them yet.

Whatever, those of us who have self control and know the evils of brown elixir are fine. The ones who didn't have that self control died young.

My paternal grandpappy lived on whiskey... and it kilt him when he had to quit due to other health reasons, and probably his brother too, although he outlived him by several years.
Weird shit. How predisposition to shit works.
My dad drinks a lot....I mean a lot of folks in rural settings (and even low knob urban settings if we’re being honest) do. I used to hate whiskey when I was younger, because of how I felt after drinking jack and coke or 7&7s. I started drinking it without Shit in it More often a few years ago, and now I love it.
Self control goes a long way towards things like blackout nights, fucking babysitters, gambling, etc... or something like that.
I guess this post was less about making sense and more about how I’m not a pussy. Kidding
