Why bother pacing yourself just drink when you're too sober and quench your body's thirst by sticking your head under the tap and sucking on the faucet like a normal human being.

Why does ice cause him to pace himself?

I don't know why it helps me pace myself probably because I won't get a new drink until most of the ice has melted and will sip the whiskey flavored water that has very little alcohol instead of immediately getting a new drink because my glass is empty. Don't question my strategy

I don't like when you go to a bourbon bar, which there are thousands of in the northeast now, and get bourbon on the rocks and they use those lovely ice cubes with holes in them and not the artisanal ice blocks of ice balls! I know you have them and I am paying $16 for this whiskey give me my ice block

A couple years ago when the whiskey trend thing was newer I met my then gf at an old school whisky bar that was still mostly full of rich old guys in tweed suit coats after work.

I was wearing a tight green tshirt with the grinch who stole Xmas on it or whatever looking somewhat frat-broish. We had to text each other across the bar to find her and her friends, we got drunk and loud, just me and my dorky gf and her girlfriends.

Anyways I look up and the entire bar of 50 plus year old men is staring daggers at me, just drooling with jealousy.

One trick is to tell em stories that don’t go anywhere – like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. Give me five bees for a quarter, you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah – the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow one

Adding a couple drops of water to whiskey is supposed to bring out the flavor or some garbage but I don't really notice the difference. I prefer Wild Turkey 101 so the first sip is usually pretty overwhelming

It sounds like the same garbage magical thinking that posits coloring the edge of your CDs with green highlighter makes your music sound better (http://www.snopes.com/music/media/marker.asp).

People just need to drink their loving whiskey.

Also ordering scotch at a bar has to be the most expensive way to drink. Yeah, I'm not paying 18 euro for 2 fingers of Laphroiag. Get hosed.

Instead of putting water in whiskey what you do is pour yourself a splash of water and then put whiskey in the glass. Instead of watering down whiskey you're whiskeying up water. Much more manly imo

who can't nail down the incredibly simple concept of "whiskey with water"? I don't want ice in my drink. I also don't want you to drown the loving thing with the water sprayer. I just want a dash of water in my whiskey. Is this really that foreign of a concept? Why do I have to yell my rear end off in the club trying to explain what I actually want to professional bartenders?

lol "professional bartenders" shutup

I like mixed drinks just fine sometimes but I can't stand whiskey cut with anything else even a little. You'd think irish coffee sans cream would be my speed because i love whiskey and i love coffee but it was awful and I hated it.

I'm the guy waiting behind you in line for 15 cocksucking minutes while you explain exactly how much "a splash" of water is to go with your whiskey which is going to be loving terrible anyway because what kind of bullshit club for dumbass yuppie-spawn stocks luxury liquor

I'm constantly checking the other line which is moving at normal speed but I think to myself "No, he's gonna just order now, no one is this big an rear end in a top hat," but nope, you stick to your guns demanding only the best in awful alcohol even though the only reason to even go to a club is to pick up chicks, who are also waiting in the line thinking about what a giant douche you are and how there's no way they'll let you touch their cooter. Then you finally get your whiskey, and you take a sip while still standing at the goddamn bar, shake your head, turn around, look me in the eye and say "Jesus, bartenders, am I right?"
