Rave: I love whiskey.

This should be a separate rant but I am never going to drink Tito's Handmade Vodka ever.

Gluten Free is not something you need to be pitching in your damn ads for a vodka.

When I go drinking these days, I am pretty much guaranteed to order a Budweiser and a shot of 5-Star whiskey, assuming it's the well whiskey (which it is for almost every bar around here). If there's a special on beer or well drinks, which is common, well then damnit I get an extra start.

It's so cheap in this town that I can just coast on beer and sipping garbage whiskey through the night, spend 20 bucks, and generally have a great time with the young'uns having their apple pie shots and dollar pitchers of swill, etc. Matter of fact, I do believe I will go do that for the last half of this game right now. Dollar-you-call it = Mondays are my favorite night of the week for barland.

Mac, sounds like you're on your way to being that uncomfortably older guy hanging out with all the young babes in the college bars. Do you need a life intervention?

[Maclowery]

I'm already there.

On one hand, it's kind of cool that I get semi-regular random action from 20-23 year olds. On the other, I'm old, really kind of a dorky romantic, and I would really have liked to have actually had a relationship at some point in the last 2 years. I very much miss the Chicago / St Louis crowd.

But whatever. That's non-whiskey talk. Tonight after my garbage day shift, I spent some of my hard-earned 22 dollars on a delicious glass of Templeton Rye (and a beer back). Made my evening lawn-mowing much less tedious.

I don't think you're too old yet.

[G. Keenan]

Templeton is great rye.

I am not a fan of drinks you have to train yourself to like. Coffee tastes like I imagine mud tastes when you piss in it enough. Coke may taste "too sweet" after you've grown accustomed to Diet Coke, but Diet Coke tastes "too [expletive]" when you've grown accustomed to Coke. And every time I've tried whiskey it felt like Hephaestus the god of fire was ejaculating into my stomach.

Just a related side-rant before I drift off to sleep.

Its almost mythical around here. Dudes wait in line every week at the landmark small grocery for the delivery. Only like 5 spots regularly have it, and its usually like 8 or 9 a drink, so hard to justify over cheap bigger joints and dollar wells, etc if you want to get it socially. But at my joint we generally just charge eachother 5 bucks for a big pour. Its always a great start to a night.

I've heard several people say Tito's is pretty good. And it's usually cheaper than any other vodka that doesn't come in a plastic bottle.
