Scotch... :zombiefuck:

But then most people have that reaction with my brand of wine too. :LOL:

Old guy used to tell me it didn't leave you with a horrible hangover though?  Never knew if he was right, since I never could tolerate more than a few sips of it.

I don't get a hangover, but I would from wine because of the tannins.

Not true. I have proved the opposite in empirical tests.

Never really liked it, when I drank more I always preferred tequila.  Oddly enough I always like the smell of all types of whiskey

Have tasted a proper scotch years ago (dunno the brand now) but I never fell in love with it. Quite a few friends/acquaintances did in those days.. this, along with cigars.. which I didn't fell for either. Don't know, I'm more of a grapes kind of dude.. in comparison with drinks made out of a grain. No beer for me as well.

But but.. cheers ofc..

Scotch is definitely an acquired taste.  Nobody likes it the first (hundred) times.

Whiskey, Scotch, Bourbon etc...i know the difference between them, of course as i worked in a bar but to me they are yuk!

An unfortunate episode going back to my youth club days - i was violently sick after mixing it with thunderbird and since then just the smell of it reminds me of that occasion and it has prevented me from drinking it.

I am into my cognac.  :P

I don't like it, or spirits in general.
