And minus 70 just since surgery.

That calls for a BEER.

God of making the characteristic which becomes dirty sends the hurricane.

But that  :drink: will put the weight back on in no time! (That's why I switched to mostly whiskey!)  :cheers: :teddyr:

And whiskey will get you buzzed faster, so you don't need NEARLY as much. I recommend Jim Beam as a good starter. That is if you like bourbon. If you have the money, get the high-end Crown Royal. It is as smooth as silk and hits like a hammer.

And congrats on your loss!

God...that sounded wrong as hell, didn't it?
I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago.

Did you just recommend JIM BEAM to a KENTUCKIAN? (At least it wasn't JACK DANIELS!)

Actually, I buy a different brand of bourbon every time I go to the store. We have 100s of varieties available. Bourbon's no problem. Scotch, I need help with.

I tend to like both single malts and blended Scotches equally, although I have friends who refuse to touch blended. Generally I avoid the heavily peated ones as they taste a bit like seaweed to me, but it depends what your own tastes are.

I've got a bottle of Glenmorangie 10 year that was recommended. Just starting to appreciate it, but I could go a little peatier next time.

Glenmorangie is a pretty good one. Got a bottle of one called 'Old Smokehead' my wife got me that cost around $90 that I can't stand the taste of, but the bottle looks cool. Blendedwise I'll go for Chivas Regal, Famous Grouse... stuff like that. One thing to check for is the age of a single malt. If it is only aged 4 years, don't touch it. That is stuff that is made for people who don't really know what good whiskey should taste like and we have distillaries that only make that kind of stuff for export.
