Sipping a couple ounces of Alberta Springs 10 year right now. It's a rather cheap whiskey, But, very very surprisingly butter smooth for the price (only $53 + sales tax & deposit for a 60 ounce bottle - that's VERY cheap.) & was very highly rated by some Irish whiskey rating guy that was recently in Canada to sample whiskeys here - mainly from Shelter Point - but he tried this and was super impressed so it made the news and now I know it's good vs. the gasoline I assumed it would be for such a low price point.

Most of the people in my block seem to be alkies so I'm keeping myself to myself as hanging around with them might make me worse. (they're on the strong lager and Frosty Jacks strong cider).
On the Magners cider again today. At least it's only 4.5% vol alcohol.

"Show me your friends, I'll show you your future," comes to mind. This why sometimes I make a point of hanging out with my sober friends at the beach and Maaaybe drinking 1 beer, otherwise just water/soda water. There's a whole crew of very athletic people there that have all quit drinking - good influences vs. the chronic alcoholics that are likely to die sooner/get cancer etc from their drinking. (Some of them drink like 12-18/day almost every day.)

Fixed it. 4.5% is only 10% lower than a standard beer.. not exactly water/pop etc, Unless you're a hardcore alcoholic justifying drinking a lot of them.

It's simply not my 'go to.' Alcoholics and addicts are snobs, in a sense. Each thinks the other is the dregs of society, but it's all the same.
And then there's definitely a hierarchy of snobs amongst drug users. Certain people think their DOC is "high society," and others are the losers kind of thing depending on which drug we're talking about.. but for the most part they're just better dressed losers eating more expensive food. But in some ways they sometimes have a point - just depends on peoples' level of addiction and behaviours etc which ones appear to be bigger losers.

When your DOC is whatever's handy it's hard to judge other people.
