Oh I didn't know that was theirs, too. Yeah after last year's "issue" that has to up its chances quite a bit. I haven't seen it yet, but Anderson Cowan liked it a lot.

if i can just keep pouring alcohol into my glass without going through the ritual of preparing a new cocktail i end up drinking dangerous amounts, so i no longer drink anything straight or anything that can be prepared ahead of time in large portions

Because the drinking cognac is A Black Thing the way using cocoa butter is A Black Thing. Sure, theoretically some white people also drink cognac straight, and some might use cocoa butter. But I've never loving me them.
But apparently cognac is like, the spirit of choice in the American Black community.

e: I mean I've drank with black people before, but they were all from Mayonnaiseville Florida, wheras the room mate is from a majority black community.

I think drinking Cognac is probably more of a French thing than a black thing.

Since you had be doubting the value of my anecdote, I decided to look around and:

On cognac sales posted:

they export more than 97 percent of it, according to the tourist board of Poitou-Charentes, the administrative region where Cognac is located. The U.S. is the biggest single customer, with African-Americans accounting for a large majority of those sales.
Like, I dunno. I don't think it's a huge deal to point out that different cultures might have different common tastes in alcohol.

Are we going to pretend that henny is not popular among black people? The dude is sheltered as gently caress white boy who told a roommate he could use his henny and now is scared to tell him stop, I guess because of his blackness?

Yeah, I'm not scared the dweeby comp-sci major is gonna beat me up cuz i told him to stop drinking my glorified cooking sherry. I also spent a decent chunk of my youth, and most of my adult life up to this point in a minority majority neighborhood. Just not a black one.

I just think it would be rude to withdraw permission over something this dumb. Like I said its a give and take thing, I was just expecting he would drink my whiskey or beer, as opposed to something I primarily viewed as a cooking aid that had to be bought from ABC.

There is a budget whiskey a friend bought a handle of called Parker Hayes that tasted like rubbing alcohol strained through charcoal that we just couldnt drink even mixed.

However we did find that on a charcoal grill not only did it make good lighter fluid but it added a much smokier flavor to the meat.

here it is https://distiller.com/spirits/hayes-parker-bourbon

bourbon i guess is actually good because it tends to be sweeter than something like scotch, which is what you want from a good flambe spirit.
