This offseason has literally driven Enscheff to drink.

Well, alcohol is truly unnecessary and who got ----faced the worst is nothing to brag about.

No, I just hit 40 and got tired of drinking strictly filling beer (usually ambers). Supposedly it's part of becoming a real adult according to some.

There is evidence (part of the Astros investigation) that the Red Sox also cheated during their most recent World Series title.....the connection...? Alex Cora

We're talking about Alcohol sir. Don't interrupt.

I wonder if Cora likes cocktails

The best liquor to get is one that's on sale and has free airplane bottles attached to it.

you shouldn’t be. nothing wrong with that.

In my defense I just recently started transitioning from beer-only to including liquor in my repertoire, and know nothing about anything other than my father in law likes Crown and now so do I.

I will be making a trip to KY to help sell slot machines to Churchill Downs next week, so I plan on educating myself a bit with several bourbon tastings.

I am not sure of the proximity but the Makers plant was pretty cool and I really like makers.

I'm not really looking to see individual distilleries, but more tastings of many different types...preferably led by someone who knows how to explain the differences.

So if anyone knows a good place in Louisville for that, let me know.

Not all “fruity drinks” are created equal. Tiki drinks are great. Flavored vodkas are not.

Try a Jungle Bird sometime:

1.5 oz black rum (Goslings Black Seal is a good bet here)
1.5 oz pineapple juice (the fresher the better)
0.75 oz Campari
0.5 oz lime juice (again, the fresher the better)
0.5 oz Demerara syrup (though a standard simple syrup works too)

Shake; fine strain, if possible (Hawthorne strain through a small sieve); serve on the rocks or over crushed ice.

First clause is at least historically incorrect, while the second clause obviously misses the point of this discussion entirely.

Wish something would happen so we could talk about Baseball again.

It's my opinion, drinking alcohol serves no useful purpose at all other than to burn hard-earned money. I acquired this opinion from my late grandfather who beat alcoholism in the 1970s. I made him a promise in the early 90s not to drink and I haven't and I won't. It was an easy promise to make and an even easier one to keep when its made to someone you truly love and would give anything to have back as long as they would be healthy and without cancer that took them.

And with all due respect to that situation (and I do mean that, truly), coming into what was just a lighthearted conversation to angrily proselytize while simultaneously completely taking every single thing everyone else had said out of context just makes you look a prick.

[VirginiaBrave]

Frankly, I don't care what it makes me look like.

[brian22]

Woodford and Makers Mark are my two go-tos. Jefferson Aged At Sea is my new favorite.

We get it... its pretty clear the only person in the world you care about is yourself and you love to let everyone know it... strange dude...
