Not that shit from the Flaming fucking Lips. Probably something pleasant and fruity, like a Pina Colada.

I haven't had a drop in almost a month. I've been covering extra training sessions while Rio is going on, so no "booze-breath" during lessons. Rio is done today, so let the drinking commence...on Tuesday when i have no training sessions.

I miss whisky.

I'm sure whiskey misses you.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

Something to consider for March 30, 2017, unless it gets cancelled due to a bad case of End of the World.

Could I drink $80 worth of whiskey in 2 hours.  Why yes. I'm sure I could. Then again, $80 would buy me one fine bottle of whiskey that might be savored over several months...

If you've never been, it is worth going once. Or twice. No more than four times. Really. Maybe I should go again...?

I'm hoping Flaming Lips is there with some of their stylish brews.  Supposedly the contents of every bottle has been touched by all band members in some way.  Sends shivers down me timbers....

Quote:Chinese tourist pays $10,000 for a single whiskey shot at Swiss bar
BY ALEX LINDER IN NEWS ON AUG 10, 2017 4:50 PM

How much would you pay for a shot of whiskey? $10? $100? How about, $10,000?
Because that's apparently how much one Chinese tourist forked out to gulp down a shot of Macallan at the luxury Waldhaus Hotel's Devil's Place Whiskey Bar in Switzerland last week.
The whiskey was made in 1878 by the revered Scotch maker Macallan. As the last of its kind, it could be the most expensive whiskey in the world.

Meanwhile, the wealthy whiskey enthusiast wasn't just any deep-pocketed tourist, but Zhang Wei, China's highest-paid online novelist, beloved by fans for his series of wuxia novels. Last week, he stunned Weibo with a post describing how he had paid 9,999 Swiss francs ($10,331) for just a single shot of whiskey.
“I was in Switzerland and saw a 100-year-old whiskey. I didn’t spend long weighing up whether to get it,” he wrote. “In a nutshell, it tasted good. I was drinking not so much the whiskey but a lot of history.”
Zhang also noted that the 139-year-old whiskey was older than his 82-year-old grandmother who he had brought along for his trip to Switzerland.

After reports of Zhang's extravagant purchase went viral, rumors started to circulate that the Macallan was, in fact, a forgery, prompting the hotel to submit its bottle of 1878 Macallan for "extremely rigorous" testing, a process which could take several months.

A bit confused by Zhang Wei.  I would think Jin Yong would be tops in xuxia novels.  Also, in lists of China's best writers, I don't see him.  Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't what the article says.  Just a bit of a dark horse in my dark mind...

Okay, right.  The article is about whisk[e]y.  Back off, cranefly...

Is it because he is an "on-line" novelist that his ranking is not higher in your estimate?
