I am starting to really like whiskey.

I never used to drink whiskey. The smell and the taste, I just found them repulsive. The other night I was out of weed, in no mood to buy beer, wanted to drink something though...and my roommates had gotten a few free bottles of Bushmills' Black Bush whiskey. So I poured myself a whiskey and ginger ale and started sipping it...my roommate and I played some Trivial Pursuit, and I was really paying attention to the drunk. I liked it. A lot. It's a different kind of drunk from gin or vodka or tequila, my usual drinks.
Last night I had the apartment to myself. I smoked a little weed and had two or three whiskey drinks and just sat down writing. I have to admit, I like the thought of drinking whiskey and writing. It makes me feel like I'm getting in touch with my inner Hemingway or something. It seems to me that whiskey and bourbon have long been the drinks of some great writers. And in general, I think a lot of great writers drink more than they do any other narcotic/drug/intoxicant/whatever you want to call it.
I just read back what I wrote last night and this could be dangerous - now I REALLY like whiskey! It really got some good going out of me.
I think I'm gonna go buy a bottle of Maker's Mark later.

Knob Creek and Makers Mark, are the absolute best American whiskeys, and I've had them all.

Knob Creek is too sweet,its the feminine bourbon if you dont mind my saying guv'na. I like my bourbons young, around 6 -8 years old and harsh. Bookers to me is one of the best bourbons out there, however I particularly enjoy a rye american whiskey. Wild Turkey is good for a normal drinking whiskey because its strong and not too sweet. My usual whiskey is Rittenhouse, costs about 12-15 dollars a fifth and is a surprisingly decent rye, 100 proof also

I don't like whiskey
I've tried many times, but I have to force myself to finish it

Hypocrite! I like Jack because it's cheap, and no one likes whiskey so I don't have to worry about the people in my house drinking it.

I used to drink red wine and write poetry. Looking back, that's probably the most pretentious thing ever.

I was a rebel yell man myself before I discovered Rittenhouse. Rebel Yell is like 10-12 bucks a fifth, and for the price is relatively decent bourbon. Its far better than Jim Beam white label, but nothing to write home about

i drink my homebrew wines now. i sold some bootleg bottles to pay off the equipment i had to buy. now it only costs me ingredients. endless supply! and my brews range from 10-20%
a 750ml bottle of the 20 % will knock you the fuck out quick. toke a joint afterwards and life is golden
alcohol companies lobby heavily to keep mary jane ilegal. fuck'em
peace!

my first drunk was from a nice bottle of blue label my dad had lying around... needless to say i took it and got shitfaced with my friends... good times
but i definitely agree, whiskey has its creative side to it, i dont know if its because of the preconceived notions about the drink or its actually different in the way....

Well every kind of alcohol has its own kind of drunk. I am not so good at talking about alcohol as I am about psychedelics, all I know is that the Whiskey drunk's got something going on that loosens me up just right.

People always talk about different alcoholic drinks having different drunks. I wonder if there's a truth behind this, or just imagination?
