Whiskey

What is the point of this drink? It's ****ing disgusting...

I'm not a drinker; at all. Spent last night at a mates, he came in with a little bottle of Bell's Scotch Whiskey (40% Alc :eek:); said "try that". Took a sip.. yeah, it was nice.
Tried to have a bit more, this time downing a load of it. I seriously felt like screaming; it was bloody horrible!

I've never understood the alcohol thing... drinking foultasting drinks just to become completey inebriated and loose all sense of your actions?

So....you're not a drinker but you 'downed' a load of cheap scotch, it didn't agree with you and now you wonder why people drink whiskey?

I'd direct you to the Beer, Wine and Spirits forum but it probably isn't worth it.

800 years of persecution and you'd be fond of a tipple too:p

You are so very wrong that it calls your parentage and sexual orientation into question. Although it's your own damn fault for drinking Bells.

The non-drinkers I know are probably the happiest people I know. How anybody stands in a pub drinking coke and talking to locked people is beyond me though. I'd prefer stay at home.

Whiskey is a dangerous drink. Did you drink it straight, Tom? :P

"When I drink whiskey, I drink whiskey, and when I drink water, I drink water' - Barry Fitzgerald to Maureen O'Hara when asked "Would you like water with that, Michilín?" in The Quiet Man (1952). Classic.

Try Bushmills 1608, Tommy. It's fierce nice!

I don't know what "drink it straight" means? I just drank it out the bottle

Also, Scotch is whisky and Irish is whiskey...;)

I love a few whiskeys eery now and then, it's savage and it gives you that warm feeling inside that you don't get with beer or cider, and it's a hell of a lot nicer than vodka, straight is the only way to have it.:D

Am I right in saying that you are 16 or 17? Why did you drink it, if you're a non-drinker? Did drinking Bells put you off drink for life?

If you're a non-drinker who wants to start drinking, well whiskey isn't the one to start with!
Try smirnoff ice/bacardi breezer/other alcopop like every other teenager...

I thought Scotch and Irish were whisky, and Americans like Southern Comfort and Jack Daniels were whiskey?

If it doesn't suit you(reading your post it doesn't seem to), don't drink.

Whiskey was invented so that the Irish wouldn't rule the world - THATS THE POINT OF IT.

15 actually :P
I drank it because, I dunno actually, I suppose I was just curious.. and I'm not sure - though it's definitely put me off Whisk(e)y for life :pac:

bluto63 · 01-08-2009 1:19pm

You took a sip and it was nice, that's how you should drink it then. Necking the bottle isn't a nice way of drinking it whatsoever, it's just the fast way to inebriation.

Ginger Ale was invented for a reason.

Jack Daniels is a bourbon and Southern Comfort is a Liquer

s'far's i know, ireland and america have whiskey and scotland and canadia have whisky. never quite been bothered enough by it to figure out why though...

and OP, first off, ok, you're not a drinker... so why have it in the first place?
second off, you took a sip... and enjoyed it... fair play, i've been drinking whiskeys and bourbons for many a year now, and i still can't sip it straight (ie, without being mixed with something else, like coke) without pulling a face (while still sober).
third... you decided to neck it. i can understand how you now hate it. doesnt shock me really, a non-drinker necks 40% alcohol... if losing control of your actions was all that happened, consider yourself lucky... if you downed any amount of it really, i'd imagine you spent most of the rest of the night hugging the bowl.

and the point of alcohol is to chill out, relax, get tipsy drunk (or blind numb drunk, depending on the day you've had) and enjoy yourself. i find it works best if you drink something you enjoy the taste of... whiskey and coke has always done it for me... start off on about a 1/8:7/8 measures of spirits to soft drink and you can't go too far wrong (as a non-drinker attempting to drink).

you're young yet though... plenty of time to figure it out.

Hi Tom.

I've read your post and I respectfully disagree.

Yours in type, Mr. Schism

I was over the gfs house a few weeks ago after coming back from a night staying at a friends house up the country. She had the remains of a bottle of Southern Comfort in a fanta bottle or something. We're all sitting in the living room talking when along comes her 14 yo brother to get a sneaky swig of the "fanta":pac: And I'm the only one to notice, so I sit there with a stupid grin on my face trying not to burst out laughing as he first retches, then bolts for the back door then comes back a minute or so later with a guilty look on his face surreptitiously looking around to see if anyone had noticed!

I'm not much of a whiskey drinker myself but I'd say it's a nice way to finish off the day or a nice way to get stupid drunk...
