Obviously a boilermaker of sorts...MD2020 in Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull....we called them MadBullDawgs in high school....back about 4 decades.
That sounds a little lightweight. I think a Trainwreck would be more appropriate. I was introduced to it in a bar in Nome, Alaska in September 1972. It's like a boilermaker but with a shot of Everclear dropped into a glass of beer.
Like you, I may have a dram or 2 during the week, at most. Maybe 1 while writing in my journal. Hence, I splurge on good whiskey/whisky for thsee times because, why not enjoy the best if you are not going to drink it off in a week or
sitting. Also, C19 has shown us, if nothing else, that our days should be enjoyed while they can be enjoyed. For my pipes, I far more enjoy iced sweet black tea.

I'm no drinker at all from the perspective of most drinkers I know, however I'm not a teetotaler. In the self medication department, so much depends on how you drink. Some can't even get started without some high test multi-proof cocktail double. In my case, going numb doesn't help. I need to be sentient enough to experience the healing of mind, however cloudy. For me that doesn't take much. I'd do a little (for this purpose) very good bourbon.
A bottle of Jack Daniel's and a copy of Frank Sinatra's In The Wee Small Hours.
Thunderbird or MD 20/20. Irish Rose. Yeah, something to drawn the sorrow. My college day drinks. Miss those days.
Ezra is one of my staples. Found the Old version for $50.00 a fifth. I can get a half gallon for less than $30.00. WTF???...
Maybe it's like gas. I saw that regular is US$1.83 today. I haven't seen gas price that low in awhile.
Yea, the 117 proof stuff can go pretty high. I got a bottle in the state lottery for $40. Very tasty!
back in the day when there was a strong debate about if coffee should be legal or not.
My dad used to always tell me to be careful where I poke my pipe. Maybe this is what he meant...
Couldn't agree more. It is comparable to higher priced single malts like Knapogue Castle and honestly, I prefer Paddy's to Red Breast, heresy some might say, but thats like just my opinion man.
Maybe 70+ Mom turned me onto it...thankfully it’s becoming more widespread in the USA.
