I’ve always been partial to Jim Beam or WL Weller myself.

Never liked Vodka.

I buy Bourbon or whiskey to sip and to flavor foods. Vodka, Gin does not lend itself to sipping or flavoring! Some dark Rums are good for sipping and flavoring foods. A good Scotch is always good for sipping. I also like the darker beers.

More congeners also = more color, meaning dark booze will typically give you a worse hangover than an equal amount of the light stuff.

For some obscure reason I can drink an essentially unlimited amount of black rum without getting even the slightest hangover. Wake up with a song in my heart and a spring to me feets.

Of course, sometimes I don't where I am when I wake up, or what I did the latter half of the evening, but that's another story entirely.

That map raises eyebrows. One would think that whiskey would predominate in Ireland and gin in England, yet according to the map, it’s vodka which does in both countries. It would also figure that brandy, not whiskey would predominate in France. I’ve never heard of French whiskey.

Wonder what a beer map would look like. I understand they’re even making it in Germany now...

Vodka has become popular, in part, because it is so combinable and can go with just about anything. I love the stuff and it’s not too harsh. Used to drink a rum mostly but switched several years and enjoy it.

Ah.....finally something I actually know about. We own whiskey/bourbon. OWN IT!

Beer? Don’t even think about going up against the Germans. You will lose!

Despite our low ranking, we must have moved up a few spots when they stopped making this:

Mixable drinks.

Makes sense I guess.
