@vinapu will disagree,lol The question was about using a good black label whiskey and drowning it in mixer vs a less expensive one where you won't notice the difference..... I drink Bacardi, mixed...I don't like sipping rums, but most enthusiasts do. I don't know much about gin, but from a gin site about drinking gin like Vinapu, straight, the gin that is.: Not only can you drink gin neat but it's actually the best way to try a bottle of gin, at least for the first time. Some gin enthusiasts prefer this way of drinking gin completely compared to mixing it with tonic or in a cocktail as doing so allows you to experience its full spectrum of flavours.

The better whiskey's are meant to be straight or on the rocks, sipped....if you're going to mix them, no sense in paying a premium and losing the taste of the higher end ...this goes for any liquor.

I mean it as this....I got my 1st bottle of fake alcohol in Rio a few weeks ago, is more prevalent in Thailand...mafia/drug lords make a lot of money distributing fake alcohol at a reduced price ... since I only drink Bacardi, it's very obvious to me when it happens. Not sure the bar boys could tell whiskey from rubbing alcohol and since they drink a good amount of it, don't realize the harm they are doing to themselves. https://www.interpol.int/en/Crimes/Illicit-goods/Shop-safely/Unsafe-alcohol

adulterated liquor which kills the liver even faster 😬

I met him at Balcony Bar.... he didn't realize what a trailblazer he was.

Good new excuse....no one has been buying that I'm "Bulking" up for the gym 😁

"Later" this week maybe.....?? Sounds present tense.... but don't go by my public school education 🤷‍♂️

Is why I ask they guy...he'll know what works best for him 🤔

I think I remember reading about that somewhere......🧐

Weather is important, can make the difference of going out or looking for a lifeboat or 10 showers a day....as far as finding a guy...it only takes 1 to make some of us happy, some others require a small army (insert random marching comment here😉) 🌦️🌦️ ☀️😎

I ask the guy, you want drink or prefer the cash ....100% reply. money is better

Or you could take a Grab..... Just kidding...I couldn't resist 😄

All relevant .... You've been to Brasil....😉 Guys in Thailand say I'm big....bless their heart 😁

Make the jump and go to Brazil.

You can introduce us and buy us both lunch....😁

I'm doing Indonesia the second half of October after Thailand and Cambodia, if you want a guide....we can even do some marching....Manila after, if you're interested 🤔

True, I used to be a top 😝

Is what we're thinking for you too....maybe a change of routine will make it feel fresh.

Same in Mexico city, Bali and other places with remote workers...
