consume bourbon?

if I down a 750 a night is that bad?

I do and yes.

I don’t drink much bourbon but no it’s not bad. Hell we don’t live forever enjoy yourself.

Leever, leever?? Hwee don’t need no stinking leever!!!

It's bad because you're calling it a 750 instead of a fifth. You've been infected with some of that foreign milli-metric thinking.

Yeah, I realize it's 750 ml now which isn't exactly a fifth (it's close), but please be patriotic and call it a fifth anyway, it's the American thing to do.

This reminds me of a joke. The priest who married us said "whenever four Episcopalians get together there's always a fifth."

Bourbon and rye too.

A fifth a night is getting a good buzz for a daily drinker, social drinkers would be falling down drunk if they did that. Most people will say you are a alcoholic.

You can't call yourself a seasoned drinker until you can down a 1.75L a night.

I hear the liver can rejuvenate itself though, so you have that going for you, unless it pickles first.

I'll consider myself a social drinker then

Has your "check liver" light come on yet?

Is that before or after the beer?

Maybe with?

Sheesh.

Is that the same thing as an "Idiot Light"?

I can take one shot of bourbon and still drive, but I can't drive after a second shot...

Because it's two whisky!

Usta like them Whiskey/Sours when i was a kid... These days I'L throw a tablespoon (or two) in a pecan pie once in a while just to kick it up a notch... And yea, It sounds like u got a drinking problem to fix...

I support the bourbon industry,

But I couldn't live like that......

I spent a few years of drinking a "750" as you call it, every day. I woke up one night vomiting blood with extreme abdominal pain. Your liver may heal itself if you stop, and I mean STOP, before its too late. Once your liver crosses the point of no return, you're going to struggle. Its going to swell, cover itself with fat, you'll look like Santa Clause, your breath will become rotten, and things your body could handle, like medications and some foods, you'll no longer be able to process. Your skin will constantly itch, and eventually you'll hit full failure, become jaundice, get confused, and die.

Woodford Reserve, is my weapon of choice after the sun goes over the yardarm..

Yes, but I've been moving over to rye in the last couple years.

I just attended the funeral of a good friend.
He was 54.

He went in for hip surgery about a year ago, they found cancer in his very brittle bones.

He drank brown water, lots of brown water [EW], nightly.

He broke a bone in his neck last month tossing a bag of trash into a dumpster.

Went in for a fusion.

But his liver was gone, body full of ammonia[?] so no go on fusion.
Sent him home, died within the week.

Not trying to be a downer but damn if I don't miss him.
