Good for you...I think. I started just one night per week now.

I live with what I call "Extreme Moderation". It means I live like a king for months at a time and then like pauper (near complete self denial) for the rest of the time. It averages out to "moderate" and let's me enjoy life when appropriate and be in complete control otherwise. This is a period of complete control...no booze.
Does your liver get a vote?


I said like a king, not Keith Richards.
So, like the king in the Bud Light commercials, then?


Not sure. I don't watch US television.
I know I've asked before. Where do you live?


Been in Greece for the last few years.
Wow. Things getting any better over there?


The economy appears a bit better but not sure how real that is. The culture is a huge mess. It will never ever be a well run country.

i drink on average 6 nights a week, which is really too much.

generally it is wine, so wife and I might split a bottle. I might have a beer also or a cocktail (2 oz of booze). some nights might drink 2 bottles of wine between us.

I don't generally drink a lot of spirits at home, but have been known to do so when out and about or on social evenings with friends. not too common, though.

I have gone out on a spending binge and accumulated a list of whiskeys. old forester, Blantons, Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek.

I'll stockpile some scotch as well. Open to all suggestions,.

Converted to IV a couple of years ago...the decision now is flow rate. Generally toggle between "free flowing" and "wide open and a half"...

I used to drink only on days that end in y. Have cut back a bunch in the last six months. Have lost 40 pounds. Drink primarily wine and beer these days. I cannot drink hard liquor like I used to.


Good for you my friend.

Losing that 40 lbs might add some quality years to your life.

And 2 weeks in Jaco , Costa Rica might make you immortal.

Buffalo Trace if you can find it.
Bulliet might be the best bourbon to make cocktails with.
Baysil from the rum barrels. Most likely in your bourbon aisle.
Ezra Brooks best bourbon under $18.

Ardbeg 10 for scotch.

Thanks!

I have to give gifts now and then and giving scotch and ammunition really tells someone that you care.

I was drinking Glenlivit 12 or 18 single malt, but recently switched to Glenfiddich 15. Better taste for the price point.

No more beer. No more cokes.

Mostly having vodka & cranberry juice for about a year. My organs seem to be agreeable to the change.

Took a month off to prove I'm not an alcoholic.

1/2 a bottle of Jim Beam Double Barrel tonight.

May have undone the proof of the last month.

A few to add:

Old Weller Antique
Four Roses Single Barrel
Four Roses Small Batch Barrel Select
Four Roses Single Barrel - Store Picks (Barrel strength)
Wild Turkey 101 - has gotten a lot better in the past year
Evan Williams BIB is best for cocktails IMO
Rittenhouse Rye
Old Granddad 114 - best priced near Barrel proof whiskey IMO

We need a Whiskey/Bourbon/Scotch thread.

Just polished off my latest bottle of Eagle Rare. If you like Buffalo Trace (which I do), you'll love Eagle Rare. Moved on to vodka (Mile 28 - local).

I drink approx 5 bottles of Ozarka water a day. No alcohol. I splurge once-a-week with a Cuban coffee (cafecito) or a Hank's Root Beer.

For me, it is a personal nutrition decision. I have more energy without sugar-added beverages.

Your inane posts make me think you haven't cut back at all. I thought you were just a half wit but now it all makes sense finding out about your alcohol problem. Look into AA programs in Seguin.
