Wine has been overpriced for far too long.
Knob Creek is my go-to bourbon, but Bulleit is a nice change of pace.
My main thing is driving. We have way too many distracted drivers on the road. Aggressive drivers who squeeze in just to get ahead one car length. They all drive 10 mph over the speed limit or more. I’m a nervous wreck. There’s no way I can face that chaos sober.
I don’t see mine listed. I have settled on Makers Mark.
I’m a bullet or buffalo trace never heard of those brands
I my case I cut back when I returned from 19 months overseas where I became an accomplished drinker in the Navy. When I returned three people at the country club where I had worked were dead exclusively from drinking. I was not willing to persist in that direction.
I had a friend die from alcoholism. Not a good way to go.
Michigan ended smoking in bars in 2009. I was in college.
Alright, time for college students to up their game! 🥃
God invented whisky to stop the Irish from ruling the world.
And nobody has even mentioned all the THC infused drinks taking shelf space in liquor stores. Best of both worlds?
I don’t drink any more. Of course I don’t drink any less. Had to get that chestnut in there.
If you really gave a damn about helping your fellow Freepers, you’d put the name of the company in the headline so we could tell whether we could be bothered to care without clicking.

Part of it is that people don’t socialize as much anymore, it’s just too expensive to go out, and they would rather just go on social media.
That’s also why pubs are dying in England.
They absolutely are. Numbers are also declining due to weight loss drugs and marijuana. But the story is about a decline in exports after hitting record levels last year.
It’s a conglomeration instead of single brand but I didn’t read the whole article.
Crisco Kid was a friend of mine. He drank whiskey. Pancho drank the wine.
