NAD: It means "it was a so called 'joke'", but I agree. I'm not a fan of whiskey at all, luckily you get drunk after consuming vast amounts of that dog piss, otherwise I wouldn't go near it.
Try Bushmills or the Glenlivet, that stuff is grand. Jack Daniels is definitely piss. Burny piss. But I do chug a 375ml bottle of it every time I go to Vegas and run through traffic.
Heh, try a boilermaker sometime, a shot of whiskey tossed inside a beer. That's a spicy meatball!
Usually I prefer vodka over all other hard liquors but I've been on a big scotch whiskey kick lately. Beer is indeed supreme, but not when you're trying to lose weight.
