Jerry, I'm 63 years old and never had a problem with alcohol, even though I like to occasionally drink. It's all about self control. I never drink and drive. When I have friends ever and we end up drinking, I make them stay over and get sober before they leave. I have 2 spare bedrooms for those occasions.
Wel, it depends…
I use to drink vodka in summer( original russian, not polish or other s@#t) and whiskey or rakija winter time
My favourite brands are Russian standart ( the vodka) and Stolishnaya
Whiskey - Mars Maltage 3 plus 25 - great but hella spendy, so i usualy stick with Dumple
Rakija- we have a local brand here made from quince - it cant be described, have to be tested personaly- my father also makes it
Real sugar? No HFCS?
There ain’t no such thang other than by selecting a barrel. Perhaps you mean George Dickel #8 bourbon.
Mackmyra Swedish Single Malt Whisky
Don’t laugh at a whisky from Sweden, it’s a lot better than you think.
My girlfriend.
Some Armagnac. Bought a bottle recently to try it out. It was worth trying but that taste isn’t too my liking. I’m more of a red wine person
Gerolsteiner! Good German Mineral water.
I don’t drink alcohol! 18 Years and counting! I had my share. There is NOTHING wrong w/ alcohol. It is just not meant for everyone!
My response below was due to this comment! It’s all about self control.
This has been proven by the medical community, it has NOTHING to do with self control/will power. Also, a person who is addicted to alcohol, drugs, ect have a different body chemistry. When One is put into the body, it craves for more. The social drinker does not experience or possess those phenomonen.
Now that is a responsible young man! Wish I could have done that in my 20’s and 30’s!!! :bigsmile:
s. Your Third anniversary[June 4th] on here is a GREAT day,also my Birthday!
Drinking a Mexican Coke right now. Mmmmmm!
Sunday august 10th 2014 at midnight I had my last glas of Cote de Rhone (whine).
Two glasses at dinner (a bit of a French streak) for over 30 years.
The next morning I was scheduled to appear sober at the hospital for a fix of my plumbing system.
And I was advised to keep of the juice for some weeks to prevent after bleedings.
Since then I’ve had only a sip of champagne on newyears eve, and that’s all.
My new brew-of-choice is Rivella, made of whey, a byproduct of making cheese.
And it tastes like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUwkeferQWQ

An addiction is practically a predestination. Some people are more prone to it than others. They only need a substance to be addicted to.
Look at the late singer Amy Whinehouse. Take away the coke and they get a drinking problem or a smoking habit. And it never goes away.
You are an alcoholic for the rest of your life, even after you are dry for over 20 years. One glass and you’re back.
True,sounds like you have first hand experience with the subject and/or knowledge[a counselor ?] about it! There is NO cure for the afflicted,only a daily reprieve contingent on ones “spiritual condition”!
One addiction can lead to another……….I am presently a FLASHAHOLIC!
The best tea on planet earth: 1 1-liter glass of black tea, hibiscus tea, jasmine tea, dandelion tea, kombucha green tea, with Stevia for sweetener and crushed ice!

If Doutzen Kroes is a “typical Dutch girl” then Denise Richards is a typical girl from the US of A.
And they look like they could be sisters.
