    Neat.

    Anything cheaper is too ****e.

    Anything dearer is too pretentious.

    Depends what you mean. I was unemployed for a while so I promised myself once I got a job again I'd buy a really good bottle of whiskey with my first pay packet to celebrate. 2 months ago I treated myself to a lovely bottle of Redbreast 21yr old Single Pot Still Whiskey :)

    Nice,

    I'm very very very new to drinking, but I do treat Alcohol with the up most respect, and only get happy when I drink (never anger :)

    Question:
    Do different types of Whiskey give different types of effects?.

    Thank you.

    Thought this thread was going to be about sterilising wounds at home.

    Second with the bucky.

    Or a lovely bottle of Aldi Red Wine. Not just the generic bottom shelf one that says 'Red Wine' on it- I go for one with the name of a grape actually stated on the label.

    I'm a class act.

    I rarely treat myself, but if I do Jack Daniels. Cheap liqueur or Whiskey would be what I usually drink. Bulmers if I'm going to be socialising over a long period.

    In pubs, Jameson probably has the edge. Although I came by some Tullamore Dew recently that was excellent (because it was free).

    Lucozade or a glass of fanta is all I touch these days. Suffered at the hands of the disease for many a year. Clean over 13 months now and never felt better.

    Well done. I think a lot of it is boredom too though if that makes sense. Just getting out.

    If I want to treat myself, I do it by buying things that won't give me a headache and/or be pissed out of me a few hours later.

    So that would be Cream Donuts or a nice meal or like something useful you know.

    I'm a rare breed it seems. When I drank, I never drank just one or two for the taste or pleasure. Could never understand the point of that. However, neither did I drink to get sh1tfaced like so many seem to do. It was never a badge of honour for me how many I could down or how legless I could get. I drank to get merry on a night out. Drinking at home seems pointless to me. Popping into a pub in the afternoon or after work for one or two seems pointless to me.
