OT: Anything Goes 41

[Malaka]

Gin lover here. Probably also signals something I don’t want to admit (I’m an alcoholic)

Back when the hawks won their first championship I had a bender the night before the parade with my sister and her friends. Being younger and underage I wanted to impress them and unknowingly poured what I thought was a good amount for a mixer, but in reality chugged a 3/4th full red cup of Smirnoff. In about 30 minutes I was face down in my bed spinning and woke up with puke all over the side of my bed. Lucky I didn’t choke on it. Blamed it on the dog, hit the metra hungover and hustled downtown with my family. Fun times — but now just the smell of Smirnoff is traumatizing and I’m pretty f***ing beyond averse to vodka. Yall who can drink it are stronger lads

Vodka is for psycopaths and gin is for gentleman/ladies

For all the kvetching people have done over the years about losing him, Panarin is pretty mid come playoff time.

Fantastic regular season point producer. During the playoffs, he'll put up some points, but he's just not a guy who steps up in big moments, takes over games, or wins you games.

Vodka on the rocks is delicious

Rubbing alcohol on the rocks is damn tasty too!

It looks like he knows he’s going to shart, and is powerless to prevent it.

Scotch was my last great love drink-wise.

 

[Giovi]

Scotch is my go to hard liquor. I drink wine more often, but love scotch.

Right now The Dalmore 12 yr old is my favorite for the money.

I like me some Ardbeg when it cools down. Just the right amount of peat.

Yeah, I really like the Ardbeg too.

Definitely a psychopath:

Goes down like water, but my head gets warm. MMMMM.

How do you pronounce “hockey”? US players say it with “fake Canadian” accent.

They don’t want to sound Canadian, but like a hockey player—a “linguistic persona.”…

Speaking of drinking I hope I’m not the only one whose fake accent comes out whilst inebriated

Bourbon man here. Best I've had is Four Roses Single Barrel. Regular is Maker's, because for some reason, it's pretty inexpensive. I've never had Pappy or some of the other super premium drinks

I’ve had those pappys and other expensive shit and they are all ok or good or even great but it’s still a waste of money. I can tell you this I wish I had my money back instead. Not worth it and not much more than marginally better than other things in a tier below in flavor but several tiers below in price. If I had f*** you money I might change my opinion but lately my favorite bourbon is an old forester 1920 and it only costs like $60.

100%. There are so many great bourbons in the $30-60 range. It just makes no sense to me to spend more.

I've had all kinds of the expensive shit. I've owned no less than 3 of the BTAC series, and 3-4 different bottles in the Van Winkle lineup. None of them are good enough to command the prices they do. I've been fortunate to try all of them at retail or in whiskey bars, so the 5-6 assorted bottles of these two series that I've gotten... I've sold for 5x what I paid, and never thought twice about it.

There are at least a dozen bottles in the $50-70 range, that you can regularly pick up on shelves any time you want, that I'd put up against any of the "big ones". And 9/10 people who drink them blind, side-by-side, will never even be able to tell me the difference.
