23 weeks on Sunday booze free. Bizarrely the non-alcoholic beers are treating me just fine. Be gone pissed up voices in my head!

It's time to put cancer warning labels on alcohol, experts say
No amount of alcohol is safe, says new report from Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction
- I read that but we need to weigh our options. out of the billions of people that drink, 300,000 heavy drinkers per year will develop cancer_niko
- but it also relieves stress, puts you in a good mood, makes you social, makes you want to hang out with friends, great for romance etc._niko
- I think about this a lot lately since my dad got cancer though his was from smoking. I cut back to maybe 2-3 a week if that but I don't think I'll stop complete_niko
- https://www.cnn.com/…imbecile
- ya but what do the canadian know?pango
- Either "no amount is safe" or "almost nobody will get cancer" can be true, not both.i_monk
- in long term smokers, only 10% will develop lung cancer which is absolutely astonishing._niko
- They estimate that there are 2.5 billion drinkers on earth and if 500,000 develop cancer then that is 0.02%_niko
- As if there's any cunt on earth who thinks drinking is healthy. Maybe we should write on every knife 'be careful, it's sharp'Rendle
- Yup I remember cunts were pushing 1 glass of wine a day is considered "healthy"pango

Had an absolutely lovely and refreshing cocktail from a recipe passed to me by a friend of mine. Perfect for this hot, muggy heat wave. If it has a name, I have no idea what it is.
Goes something like this:
(Per glass)
6 cl yuzu sake
6 cl dry gin
2 cl pineapple juice
2 cl simple syrup
1 sprig of corianderBung everything into a shaker with ice. Shake. Strain into a whisky tumbler. Add more ice as desired. Drink. Make a new one. Drink. Get ripped.
- ooh. i had to look up simple syrup though - 50/50 sugar and water?Nairn
- yep, silly but commonimbecile
- @Nairn, yup, as easy as that.Continuity
- so if I'm reading this correctly, that's 4 shots of booze in one cocktail? daaaaang it would not take long for even me to get rippedBuddhaHat
- Correct! I was feeling pretty all right with the world after two of these.Continuity
- No, sorry. 6 shots. My shot glass is marked at 2 cl.Continuity
- Challenge accepted.palimpsest
- Equal parts sake and gin?? No wonder you’re feeling good lolllfuturefood

Both skinny_puppy and thumb_screws recently convinced me to get in to the world of whisky (I'm a bourbon and rye kind of fellow — when not drinking cider or wine — so I basically know nothing going into this).
Finally pulled the trigger yesterday, and got myself this little blended Japanese number:
By no means top of the range, but — as a toe-dipper for someone like me — it was pretty exciting. Without getting into the granular details, it's a very pleasant sip.
Eyes open and palate thrilled, I've ordered this Japanese one (also a blend) after reading a shitload of good reviews about it, and reading the characteristics. It arrives probably on Monday:
I can't wait to even nose it.
Whisky, I'm in. I'm all-in.

- Nikka from the Barrel is a fave of mine. Love it. A little dash neat or with an ice cube or two for a chilled whisky. So good.sab
- Both skinny_puppy and thumb_screws turned me on to adding a few drops of water to another wise neat glass. Heavenly.Continuity
- Also, re: Nikka. I totally agree with you sab, this stuff is absolutely wonderful. So glad I ordered it.Continuity

- That is terrible packing design.shapesalad
- It's a bottle, what else would you suggest?Nairn

- Nice bottleDanish
- it looks like cough medicinefooler
- It's certainly good for what ails ye.Wolfboy
- How was it?Ianbolton
- It really nice. It’s got a real kid to it - not too sweet and has a sort of whiskey/ginger heat. Good to sip over ice, but also excellent with ginger ale or cokWolfboy
- *It's got a real kick to it*
(not 'kid' – I'm not sure what rum with added kids would be like.)Wolfboy - it contains adrenalized kids blood?dbloc

- Their labels are so busy that I actually love them. There's one where the lemur is in his collar, and a lizard on his face.garbage

- Beautiful!MondoMorphic
- can only imagine the hell of opening the label design illy file on my 2013 iMac....shapesalad
- probably could drink the whole bottle while it loads and finally crashes.shapesalad
- ^lol, it sounds like a problem fitting of a fine rum.garbage
- mstocks1
- No a huge tequila fan, but this over ice with just a lime is very tasty...mstocks
- Fucking Grade-a branding. I'm no Tequila fan either, but I WANT that bottle. Actually, would make a good gift for FiL who loves the stuff.Nairn
- Huh. this has sparked a memory of finding a dumping pit in the back of school when I was 8-ish that was filled with Victorian-erea bottles, glass and porcelain.Nairn
- oh fucking lol at tequila reviewers..
