for future reference the correct variation choices are: laphroiag: quarter cask, younger and more dynamic than the 10, and it goes to straight trash as it gets older ardbeg: uigeadail, the 10 year old and pretty much every other expression overdoes the smoke by a mile, the uigeadail is far more interesting with a lot of sherry-casked blended in lagavulin: 16yo, i think the others only exist for the stupidly cheap or stupid rich? for older single-malts the only value i know of is the tomatin 18/25 yo, which is fantastically affordable, likely because the 10/15 yo is very unpleasant, but the older ones mellow out beautifully mostly i drink the piss beer though

Cybernetic Vermin posted:for future reference the correct variation choices are:  well, partially laphroaig: 10 is better than quarter cask, although i will admit that the higher alcohol content of the quarter cask makes it more difficult for me to drink unless i add a bit of water (to my eternal shame) ardbeg: again, 10 is better, because i don't want sherry in my goddamn campfire juice lagavulin: correct

there is a significant level of facetiousness in that statement I enjoy the taste of beer I also enjoy being appropriately wasted. last night was that  hash tag denial

some people are prone to addiction and others aren't. i don't think the research knows why this is, but it's definitely been shown to be a thing. my dad tried every drug in the universe and his entire life he described himself as an alcoholic, though he was completely teetotal my mom would drink one glass of wine or gin and tonic and immediately fall asleep i got my mom's booze genes, so i have like ten dusty bottles of various rye whiskies, and i drink maybe five ounces of the stuff a month.

big scary monsters posted:being a proper alcoholic is sort of a super power I guess. going out with the lads on a reunion trying to relive those big nights when you were 18 except now you're all 35 and by ten pints in the rest of them can't hack it, all staggering, chucking up, and calling for taxis. then there's you, cool as anything, still stone sober, contemptuous of their weakness, asking if anyone has a couch you can crash on cos you've got nowhere else to go lol

interestingly enough a similar thing was found with spicy foods, I'll try to pull up a link. if you take (beta blockers? I half remember) beforehand, spicy food was found to be unenjoyable in a study, I think endogenous opioids play a role. environment is interesting and related to tolerance, as well. if you're somewhere new and unfamiliar you'll feel it more than at home

i like drinking manhattans, they are like martinis, but with whiskey. plus it's funny to order one and watch other bar patrons slowly copy me, my signature drink spreading through the lounge like a virus
