POLL: Is whiskey the best form of booze?

I'm already a great dancer. No alcohol required.

 

1...The best thing - a natural wine and beer.

2..Whisky vodka rum - it is the best thing for to puke.
(*)When I have to drink this pukeness (for to support the company) ... I use willpower ... for not to puke. The same thing is happening to you. Right?

Personally I feel rum is the king of spirits, followed by whiskey. I enjoy the variety and creaminess of rum.

Either way, give me a cork lid or nothing

 

And you do not "fight" with the desire to vomit?

 

I don't know about him, but I sure do. I don't like alcohol much at all. I hardly ever drink anymore. I used to think I was having fun, but then I realized I was just being foolish when drinking, so I don't do it much at all anymore. It's not very good for you anyways. You throw up because it is literally a poison that you are ingesting into your body. Your body is rejecting it and wants it out.

 

All drugs are in a sense poisons, pharmaceuticals, natural medicines, recreational drugs, the whole lot. Poison carries with it a lot of prejudicial negative connotations which I think are unfair when applied to drugs.

 

Well, I can only claim that in my days of alcohol abuse that whiskey was my preferred choice. Does that make it the best? Today I enjoy cocktails from time to time, no longer abusing alcohol, and I tend to drink more rum and tequila based drinks although a high quality whiskey sipped on a cold winter night in front of the fire while reading a book can still be very pleasurable.

Mostly I smoke pot though because it's superior to any alcoholic beverage.

 

That it is. That it is. No hangovers, much superior high.

Whiskey is good if you get into it. Lots to learn. Rum is delicious and drinkable. Tequila is like mineral turpentine imo.

 

Apparently you've never had a prickly-pear margarita. I was turned on to these riding the Tequila Train of the Verde Valley Railroad and they're delicious.

Ironically, as I mentioned, my days of consuming alcohol in capricious quantities is long over and I rarely drink anymore but I do have a fully stocked bar of all top shelf liquors and once in awhile, generally for my guests, we'll hit the bar and we have an excellent selection to choose from. One of my favorites is the Century Absinthe imported from Europe that's made the "old way" (like in the 19th Century) but it is pricy at $250 a bottle. I keep Jack Daniels on hand but not the new 80 proof market version but the older 90 proof special edition bottles. My Scotch is limited to single-malt and I don't drink any blended whiskeys like the Canadian whiskeys. Straight rye, corn, or wheat whiskeys would be my favorites.

 

I was a bartender for a time, never had a prickly-pear margarita.

I am limited by my finances in buying loads of top shelf liquor unfortunately. I brew my own beer and have distilled a few litres of rum with a mate. Good times. Give me speyside if you're gifting!

 

I like beer better. The carbs make the metabolizing of the alcohol easier on my system.

 

Ethanol (booze) is a poison that just works slower than most so you can poison yourself a little at a time.

 

I plant roots and can't seem to do anything if I smoke pot. So I don't do it.

It's all a matter of preference as to what is the best. Me? I prefer wine to about any other alocholic beverage. But I do enjoy bourbon from time to time.

 

Is it wrong to simply ask female bartenders for a sloe comfortable screw?

 

It's also a carbohydrate that your body can use for energy and we're all going to die anyway.

Of course we had a saying in the late 1960's and early 1970's.

"Live fast, die young, be a beautiful corpse."

 

I think that is 'leave a beautiful corpse' but I digress. The body turns ethanol into instant blood sugar but also damages the body like any poison will.

 

Many of the things we consume are poisonous because they have a toxicity level. For example the caffeine in coffee can kill you if you consume too much. That's one great thing about marijuana because you can consume all you want and it can't kill you. This is because the body can only absorb so much of the THC in marijuana before it simply rejects anymore. Effectively a person can only get "so high" on marijuana before their body begins to reject additional THC.

Another thing that those "condemning" marijuana often get wrong is comparing marijuana to alcohol especially when they refer to the higher THC content of marijuana today. It's like comparing the alcohol content of beer to hard spirits but there's a fundamental difference. When drinking alcohol the person is ideally seeking what's often referred to as the "two beer buzz" and you can do that with either two beers or two one-ounce shots of hard liquor. The pot smoker has the same goal. The difference is that alcohol affects the reasoning of the person so they often don't stop drinking once they've reached the "two beer buzz" but the reasoning of the marijuana user is not impaired so they smoke just enough get their "two-beer buzz" and then stop. By analogy they don't "drink" a quart of hard liquor when all they need is two ounces.

We used to smoke a joint in the 1960's and 1970's because the pot was weaker and today we do a single hit because the pot is stronger. We're not getting "higher" today because of stronger pot but instead we're smoking far less pot because it's stronger. In a very real way I miss some of the older, weaker, marijuana that in certain strains tasted really good and where we would smoke a whole joint. Doing bong hits or using a vaporizer doesn't provide the same enjoyment in the consumption. It's like comparing an excellent wine that you sip with a shot of tequila that you chug down. They both get you high but drinking the wine is generally a more enjoyable experience.

 

Small correction. You can OD on cannabis. But you can not die during an od unless something occurs external to the od.

 

I do like a good single malt or even some blends, but bourbon is better. 3rd place is Irish whisky. My dad is from Scotland and he won't touch scotch, but loves his bourbon. Go figure..

 

Well my dad died from alcohol (alcoholic cirrhosis), so I am a bit biased when it comes to alcohol. I've seen first hand what it does to a person and it's nothing good.
