Bourbon whiskey quite possibly the worst booze ever devised?
 

I'm all out of tequila and too lazy to go to the store.
In situations like this, I keep looking at this bottle of Jim Beam that's been kicking around here through a few holiday seasons.... but every time I try even one tiny sip I wanna hurl on my shoes.

I think I'd rather have a nice glass of hot foot water than ever taste bourbon again.

And to think, 25 years ago I drank that shit like there was no tomorrow.

oh well. Foot water it is then.

How were you able to tolerate it so well 25 years ago? I've never understood how people can drink Jim Beam or Jack Daniels.

Jameson whiskey has some fans but to me it tastes like gasoline.

My favorite so far is Crown Royal, I buy it regularly... although I've not had a ton of whiskeys, so I'm not exactly a connoisseur.

Clinically insane.

I'll take it over gin any day.

Some people like bourbon but I've never been able to stand it at all.

I love it, drink Makers Mark all day.

I'm not sure.

It's all the same to me now though. Any whiskey is repulsive to me.

I drink Wild Turkey almost every day.


.

I usually stick to Grey Goose, Patron Silver, and Kettle One... they're all I need. :)

Do you find that drinking inspires your work?

I used to pound some gin too, but now it tastes like paint thinner to me.

Really the only thing I can stand any more is expensive tequila or cheap brandy.
Wine gives me severe heartburn. Beer just tastes like backwash.

I used to think it did. Of course I was wrong. I was shitfaced all the time.
But in moderation it does loosen me up a bit when I hit a sticking point. If I'm 3/4 through a project and get hung up, I find the best thing to do is walk away from it for a few hours, have a couple tequilas and some music and generally just unwind myself from it. Seems to work.

I do a lot of thinking when I'm in the shower, and I find a lot of inspiration there... sometimes I'll have brainstorming sessions with my girlfriend in the bathroom... something about the shower just frees my mind.

I cant really "drink" anymore since 1999 when I got very close to alcohol poisoning....

I couldn't drink or smell alcohol for months and the smell would make me nauseous...

These days i can handle a beer or 2 and maybe only do st8 shots of goose or patron anything else makes me wanna puke..

I was psychology fucked up from that incident

Yeah, that'll do it. I watched a guy go through alcohol poisoning in the military over in Germany during the 80s. He's lucky he lived through it. He pounded three fifths of Jack in about 7 minutes. Was hospitalized for weeks.

Maker's Mark, Knob Creek & Basil Hayden are my go to ever time. A special treat is a Michter's American Bourbon.

I once re-decorated the nice tweed wallpapered walls in a very nice hotel room because of Bourbon.

I was only 16 though. Was in the Bahamas.

Boy was my grandma pissed at me.

beam is good if you mix it with coke (the soda, not the drug)

I've tried a few different ways of diluting (mixing) the shit out of it, but nothing gets rid of that whiskey smell. Then one sip and that whiskey taste and the rest goes down the kitchen sink. But I keep the bottle here for Christmas times in case somebody wants a drink. I usually pour one glass per year for someone because none of the fam drinks.

damn, thats a shame cuz it always works for me, but I know what you mean about the taste. only suggestion is more coke....

Coconut rum, fucking YUM

Bourbon and tequila for me. I like Maker's Mark but don't mind Jim Beam. Escorpio ain't no snob.

shoot it straight... now that is something that will fuck you up!

I like Jack, but it's not like I LOVE the shit. If I want to go down that road and get shitfaced, JD for sure. On the odd occasiona bottle of WIld Turkey will do. It's not gonna break the bank or anything.

If I want a nice sipper I'll get a bottle of Scapa or Glenmorangie. But really, who buys a good bottle if the end goal is to just get shitfaced?

Scotch, scotch, scotch, I like scotch...

Good way to ruin it.

I had a tequila drunk like that years back. I can't go anywhere near the shit straight now, the smell alone is enough to make my stomach turn. Only way I can get a lil tequila down is in a sunrise.

I throw my vote for most evil alcohol to tequila.

I can't really tolerate what I feel like when I get absolutely hammered, and the next morning feel like I'd rather just end it all if I only had a gun...

Been there hundreds of times... and through dreadful trial and error, I have my tolerance down to an exact science. I have learned to measure what I'm drinking precisely... everyone laughs when I'm pouring shots in a glass, but I haven't all that bad ever since I started taking note of how much I'm consuming...

jameson straight up with ice is the best whiskey on a sunny day

I've switched to fino recently.. used to hate it when I was younger.

beam is garbage anyways.

i drink black label on the rocks.

tried a cognac for a change? tastes smoother

I have to respectfully disagree. Try a scotch.

You live in SF - call a bike messenger and have him deliver some Patron.

It's not that bad..

amen :thumbsup

I can do 1 shooter of Jack Daniels. After that I want to puke it tastes so bad. Southern Comfort is my favorite.
