It's all poison. Just like any other drug. It's expensive and it tastes awful. Can't shoot a gun, can't run a chainsaw, can't ride a motorcycle after drinking. I don't need a chemical to be happy.
If you had to get used to it, it wasn't much good in the first place.

I believe the second sentence in the Declaration of Independence applies here.
I just checked our liquor stores. "Regular" 10 y.o. Edrarour is available (fortunately not near me!) About $79.00 USD equiv.
Many years ago an ex-pat living just down the street from me in Vancouver BC belonged to the Scotch Whisky Society and had several bottles of cask-strength single malts, mostly from "unknown" little distilleries. My then gf & I were treated to one such and I can still remember being blown away, even neat. A touch of water opened it up and made it "bloom." WHOA!

And Laphroaig ("Leapfrog") They used to have a advert that read, "The line between love and hate is about 1/3 the way down the bottle."
Although I like "peaty", I would never turn down a fine Macallan!Sorry, but no pine needles, no berries, and no peat! Don't mind the smoke, but peaty Scotch is just not for my palate. Tough to beat a single malt Macallan 12 or 18 year-old from the Speyside region.
I believe in inclusion. My creature comforts are varied and don't always come in liquid form.
Cheers!
