^It's actually from Montana, this is it:

By controlled doses, a couple of wee drams (maybe up to 3 or even 4 large measures of an evening) at the weekend is certainly not going to do much damage. Certainly, you're not going to feel any ill effects the next morning. Whisky hangovers are much less acute than wine or chemical beer ones in my extensive experience. Of course, if you start drinking whisky every night for a couple of years or more, your bilirubin readings are going to escalate as mine did when I was overdoing it.
Funnily enough talking about rye whisky, there is a Dutch rye just come out on the market. Haven't tried it yet, but I plan to.
^ Thanks for the Montana tip, will try it.
Just joking about the controlled dose bit. My grandmother used to carry a full 8oz glass of Chivas on the rocks and nurse it thu the afternoon.
My Dad used to go through so many bottles of Chivas 25 I used the blue velour bags for everything from shoe polish rags to school sandwich bags.
So, for my 22nd birthday I gave myself a bottle of Glenlivet (we're talking 1977). I have, as you say, read very scary bilirubin level reports.
Needless to say, always on the lookout for new stuff (though not new make). Now about that Dutch Rye...

Cider, as the weather is warmer.
Grafenwalder, inexpensive Lidl lager - reinheitsgebot.
Shandy.
After golf they were serving Rock Shandy which I first heard about from Saffers and Rhodesians. Half soda water, half lemonade plus angostura bitters. It looks like a pint but no problems if you are driving. A Gunner is a similar idea but involves ginger beer and lime.
Been on a Sardinian wine bent (or should that be bender?): Torbato and Cannonau. One with seafood, the other with cinghiale and suckling pig.

Yeah yeah, no need to bring common sense into the argument.
Bush: triple blonde at a wopping 10.5 percent. This is a great Belgium brewery that suffers from none of the problems that I associate with Belgium ales i.e. too sugary as a substitute for lack of hops.
^ Not heard of that one. Bush does not sound very Belgian.
Me? Gin & tonic -Greenalls, I will not buy Gordons after they diluted the product.
This is the brewery:

Weed & flower juice
I know it's not the season, and it is sacrilege with ice but there it went, my Lagavulin DE, down my gullet making me sweat and breathe fire.
