re: People that drink whiskey straight, why lie to yourself?

Youngest son in college would always buy top brand bourbon when on dates, to "impress the women " & get it with Coke. Told him to just buy the cheapest brand as all he was tasting was the coke. Finally saw the light of day & another true Irishman was reborn. As a rookie drinker myself, I started off with Southern Comfort & Coke, sugar on top of sugar, till I finally figured out why my hangovers were so bad.
