Why do zoomers hate bourbon? They are killing Kentucky's economy.

>>512724498 (OP)
good more wild turkey 101 for me

It’s the foreign market that took a big hit because Trump is playing trade war. Scotch is better anyways

>>512724498 (OP)
Alcohol is degeneracy and should be banned.

>>512724498 (OP)
I went to buy some bourbon for cooking and that shit is insanely expensive .. in Trump's america with all these tarriffs people can't afford bourbon then he cut off foreign markets with his tarriffs

>>512724498 (OP)
I mean.... alcohol is just that, a chemical compound. Imagine paying more for a certain compound if it is aged in a barrel. Vodka or other clear spirits do the same job at a fraction of the price.
Plus a lot of fellow zoom zooms simply do not drink on account of it being unhealthy.

Sorry Kentuckyanon but your state will have to learn not to be overly dependent on a single industry. (says the German who will lose his job at BMW)

Drinking a little bit is fun, but having a habit is not only destructive and turns you into an asshole, but really fucking expensive and sad
I’m proud that the zoomers are forsaking that

>>512724498 (OP)
let’s see - they were born in a post super size me America, cant trust anything, get arrested for being intoxicated even in places u can be intoxicated, shit is so expensive, everyone would rather be on prescription medication or legal weed now. just my observations of their generation. im a millennial and i quit drinking alcohol 6 years ago because it was a pain in my ass.

>>512724703
Scotch is the new fedora

>>512725085
I mean.... if it is based on ethanol then I would not see why you wouldn't want to drink it. That being said all of my hand sanitizer is based on isopropyl alcohol.

>>512725085
maybe that's why new gens won't like alcohol as it will remind them of that smell.

>>512724498 (OP)
>bourbon
tastes like shit thats why.

>>512725321
Could be a factor.

Zoomers drink the cheapest rubbing alcohol-tier vodka and shitty mexican beer.

I prefer a sweet tasting wine or bourbon as a millennial.

>>512724703
most people don't know that in order for something to be qualified as scotch it has to be made with water from scotland.

>>512725085
>This nigga drinking mouthwash

>>512724703
I dunno, I've tried to get into scotch but aside from Lagavulin I haven't really enjoyed any of it. I find even a fairly inexpensive bourbon is enjoyable.

Zoomers aren't big drinkers in general.

because your bourbon is fake
if you would make it like in the past, that would be different

>>512725429
Like my nigger in Christ, why would I give out 25€ for a bottle of Old Nr. 7 when I can literally buy a local Korn or Vodka for 10€?
It just doesn't make economic sense to buy expensive stuff to drink. It will get you drunk all teh same and in the end it all land sin your liver.

>>512725478
I got a blue bottle of scotch as a birthday gift. It’s the only scotch I’ve found enjoyable.

I like sherry the best.

>>512725629
Ya everyone knows Bourbon is only real when the mash is rung out between the milkers of Bavarian maidans.

>>512724498 (OP)
Bourbon is disgusting. Boomers drank it as some sort of idiot manhood ritual. Gordon's Gin is the perfect liquor.

>>512724498 (OP)
The easiest way to tell if someone is an NPC is if they say they enjoy the taste of alcohol (e.g. bourbon, beer, wine, etc..), coffee or cigars

They are either liars or NPCs that convince themselves to fit in and to follow the programming

>>512724498 (OP)
I only drink gin because I'm poor people

>>512725291
Agreed. I've never met a person under 50 who enjoys casually sipping brown liquor that didn't seem like a try-hard larping as a sophisticated adult. There's probably like an 80% correlation between millennials who order scotch and millennials who collect pokemon cards.

>>512725671
I like to enjoy my alcohol and I never get drunk. Having a chill buzz and relaxing is the point of alcohol for me. I work manual labor and it eases my joint pain.

Zoomers have never done any work in their life so they don't know how to do anything besides knock up whores like a nigger and kill themselves in nihilist hedonism.

>>512724498 (OP)
alcohol is cheap to produce and doesn't have expiration date so there is no excuse to charge ridiculous prices for them. gasoline is harder to produce yet it costs 1/100th of what alcohol is charged.

>>512724498 (OP)
Booze in general.

A large bottle of Jim Beam costs me like $35 and lasts me anywhere from a month to 3 months.

If you like sherry you should try port.

Personally, I used to drink all the damn time but I suddenly got severe alcohol intolerance. Even one shot of liquor will make me sick for a day. Probably for the best

No taste, besides they hardly drink. Bourbon and irish whiskies are the best, scotch is for posers

Metoo/Duke rape story made everyone afraid of getting drunk at the club and hooking up with women, COVID broke the habit of bar and party attendance, and legal weed is seen as “healthier” and gets you way more fucked up.

>>512724988
Different alcohols have different buzzes and effects on the body. I vastly prefer a bourbon buzz over vodka, brandy, or beer. Wine is generally great too. If you told me I could only drink vodka or beer, nothing else, I probably wouldn't drink much if at all.

>>512725898
since i started drinking in my 20s around 2010 my group of friends, just fuckin nerds who like fighting games yugioh cards and dark souls, primarily drank whiskey or scotch on the rocks because it was easier for one of us to pick up a bottle on the way home and never have to go over who got what. meanwhile other people i knew wanted to mix this with that or blah blah blah. the furthest we’d go is adding coke or pepsi and calling it a night.

>>512726234

Our society has made immature femoids into influencers. Cunts can't handle whisky. Men, buy a bottle from your nearest still.

Because it's disgusting. I've tried multiple times with Bulleit, Bookers, Michters, Stagg. I've had a bunch of rare small-batch somethings at a degustation. Some are better, some are worse, but ultimately all are shit. The stevia-like sweetness of corn is revolting, no matter how you cask or age it. I think only hipsters and people raised on a steady diet of HFCS can truly enjoy that stuff. Tequila and rye are the only good American spirits.

>>512726385
I tend to doubt they are doing it for health reasons, since a lot of zoomers don't actually look very healthy at all.

Joo joos is at the heart of degeneracy and it holds no value to the white man.
Purposely imbibing poison to be "social" with everyone else is retarded. Purposely imbibing poison to "wind down" is weak and retarded.

beer drinkers usually favor better. because its mostly water. The hard alcohol get ready for a catheter and a shit bag. Wine drinkers aren't as bad but its a lot more difficult to metabolize wine than beer. Thats why the hangovers from wine are so bad.

Naw, I read the full CDC survey last year and ahve read several others since.
compared to Millennials, Zoomers have
- less alcohol use
- less drug use
- fewer STD's
- fewer sexual partners
- lower rate of homelessness

the only group that was (much) worse off was the group "males having had sex with males" - not "identifying" as gay, but those who actually had sex with other guys.
They had startling levels of drug abuse, alcoholism, suicide, etc.

also: compared to Millennials, Zoomers:
- are more serious about saving money for the future, especially to buy a house
- sext much less
- first have sex when older
- plan to marry younger

I know they're easy to make fun of because of their stupid haircuts, but they're actually pretty based

Whiskey is good for shots. Zoomers probably got put off of it because they tried the sipping bullshit meme and hated it.

>>512727064
Hangovers are from the volatiles that have not been removed during the distillation process.
Double distilling removes much of the volatiles - which cause hangovers because it takes more for your brain to clear it - but the proof is so high they have to knock it back with distilled water so it doesn't kill anyone.

Do you know how expensive a worthwhile bottle of whiskey costs? Zoomers can barely afford a payment on a car after years of working, they wouldn't be able to afford some fancy bourbon.

>>512725671
This coming from a German? German beer is *objectively* superior to American pisswater. Legit Russian vodka goes down like water. High quality French or Italian wines are in a completely different league from, say, a California wine. High end tequilas have just the right amount of burn compared to the shitty well tequilas.

High quality (read: expensive) alcohol is a completely different experience, and well worth the price, but only if you're drinking for the taste. If you're only drinking to get drunk, buy a case of Natty Light, Old Grandad whisky, or the paint thinner they call vodka like Kamchatka, and get shitfaced on the cheapest, nastiest shit you can find. Alcoholic drinks CAN actually taste good, but you pay for it in a higher price.

No.
I worked at an alcohol store while studying, and when the alcoholics started drinking spirits they died fairly quickly.
The alcoholics visited every day, so you got to know them, and it was sort of sad when the winos started drinking spirits.

>>512727617
>If you're only drinking to get drunk
For me, it was spiced rum. I used to drink nearly two handles of it every single day. Unfortunately I had to give up drinking because it was killing me. I really enjoyed the time I had with it, not thinking about or worrying about anything.

>>512727031

If you're talking about "light" beer you are right to call it pisswater. But there is a lot of non light American beers that are great. Unironically try pabst blue ribbon.
The problem is mostly light shit.

>>512727657
My grandmother drank it. I loved it.

>>512727800
I rarely if ever drank to get drunk. I would back in my frat days, but I never enjoyed the experience of blacking out and waking up in some unfamiliar place. I'd wake up in some chick's dorm and then have to have the awkward conversation of "did we fuck? What's your name, by the way?"

One time I woke up in a field about half a mile from my dorm in my boxers and nothing else. That was when I swore off drinking to get drunk forever, and I held to it.

Bulleit, Angel's Envy, Buffalo Trace and all these newer, overpriced horseshit bourbons are garbage and taste the same. The only newer brand worth a shit is Bardstown

The classics like Knob Creek, Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve, Jim Beam and George Dickel just can't be fucked with

>>512728062
I enjoy Yuengling, or Sam Adams. But yeah, the "light" shit is universally awful. Natty Light is what frats buy because it's cheap as fuck, and has the taste to match. Natty original isn't too bad.

"Pabst and a pack of reds".
I worked at a redneck gas station once upon a time. That was the order of many, many a hillbilly, backwoods, redneck, greasy old bastard. Pabst and a pack of (Marlboro) reds.

>>512728475
Pabst actually deserves more love. It's got a very full flavor without tasting like IPA basedboy shit and is NOTHING like the light pisswater shit.
I think people like you just judge it on the price.

the Oktoberfest heller/maerzbier are in stores now. burger local breweries are extremely good doing these seasonals but they charge an arm and an asshole for it. there's one about 25 mins away from me in socal, and theirs beats out the 6 major German brewers, albeit by a very slim margin.

Same story for craft beer and wine. Their sales are in the shitter. Doctors tell boomers to quit drinking and zoomers are doing the same without being told. Even me, Gen x, who brews his own beer rarely drinks more than one a day.

>>512728850
what do you think happened when I finally stopped? the only way I was able to get through it was a cocktail of other drugs I started taking instead

Alcohol is a self-imposed death sentence

>>512728989
It always tasted, to me, like shitty toilet wine. Don't ask me how I know what that tastes like.

>>512728903
If you're going for just straight up alcohol then vodka is the best since you get all of the alcohol content with the least impurities which make it harder it metabolize and cause hangovers.
Don't be an alcoholic though.

>>512728214
Ernest Hemingway supposedly used to travel with a suitcase full of WT101 bottles. When he showed up for speaking events and couriers took his bags, they were shocked at how heavy one of them was, and that was Hemingway's mobile liquor trove.

>>512725671
Korn is good stuff. It's kind of like unaged whisky. More flavour than vodka which is distilled to neatly 100% then diluted.

>>512727510
>>512727475
One of the worst hangovers I ever got was from vodka. But to be fair I drank enough to kill someone. The second worse was from red wine. And I didn't even really drink that much of it.

While I get both of your points I don't think hangovers are necessarily just that. Dehydration is a big part of it.. and simply the metabolizing of the alcohol itself. Your body has to get rid of it somehow. One thing I also noticed about hangovers is that if you stick to one type of drink... whatever it may be your body gets better at it. And the hangovers eventually go away. For example if you drink a lot of budweiser everyday ( not suggesting to actually do this ) eventually you won't get hangovers anymore.

>>512724988
Oh boy, I want to hear the autistic German response to how we tax alcohol. They text by the theoretical proof volume not the mL of final spirits or bottle.
That's why all American whiskeys moved away from cask strength and started watering them down.

>>512729176
Hemingway also drank himself into an early grave. Regardless of what the drunkenness may or may not have effected on his writing skills, you can't write anything when you're dead. It's not something to be encouraged.

Jamieson's is Irish and I like it. I don't like Bushmills at all though. Bourbon and Canadian Rye are god awful. Nightmare fuel hangovers from hell.

Not sure exactly why that wisdom came to be, but it's always seemed to hold true in my experience. Perhaps the beer being higher water content leads to less dehydration from the liquor, but if you switch from beer to wine or rum or something later, you are going to fucking hate your entire existence in the morning.

For people who don't know, bourbon is distinct from whisky because it is aged in charred oak barrels. The charring causes the trehalose (wood sugar) to caramelize which then goes into the spirit as it ages.
Optimally, the barrel wood should have been first "cured" by getting it wet twice a day and then letting it dry in the sun, for a few years. This removes the bitter tannins.

Fun fact: The "used" bourbon barrels are often shipped to Europe where they are used as "neutral" barrels for sherry and scotch.

>>512729743
I only ever puked when I mixed alcohol and weed. My frat did a case race back in the day - each team had a case of beer, a handle of tequila, and a gram of weed. First team to finish all of it wins.

Nobody won. About an hour in, every one of us was passing a trash can around taking turns vomiting. That was a brutal night.

>>512729820
Addendum: NEW oak barrels. It also can’t contain additional flavorings, which the charcoal filtering process of Jack Daniel’s is. This is why Jack Daniel’s is not a bourbon.

Bourbon is alright, but so much of it is shitty and overpriced because of the inflated reputation it got. Lots of people tried to cash in on its popularity without much attention paid to quality. Saw some obscenely overpriced bottles of stuff that tasted like nail polish remover.

Bulleit isn't bad though. Overpriced, as all bourbon is anymore, but decent enough.

This is completely true. I could drink vodka or spiced rum all day, but I would be as sick as a dog if I strayed outside my area of expertise. I found tequila to be especially heinous in this regard. Also, it tastes foul.

>>512729876
*toasts*
To drinking, and bitching about drinking.

My tastes changed. Used to drink it all the time in my late teens early 20’s.

Now in my 30’s I definitely prefer clear liquor. Gin and tequila are great. If I’m drinking brown liquor I greatly prefer scotch. Single malt is great but to be honest I like the cheap blended stuff too like Dewar’s or Cutty Sark. Hell I love a high quality rum too. Bourbon is basically the common hard liquor that I would reach for last. It’s just not enjoyable and the flavor is one dimensional, glad I moved on

>>512730099
Good tequila is a treat. But damn if it doesn't fuck you up, regardless of quality. As the Joe Nichols song goes, "tequila makes her clothes fall off". It sure as hell does. Makes your clothes fall off too, and not just when you get home. Shit is DANGEROUS.

>>512729963
I feel like succeeding at this requires several specialists. A fat redneck to drink the beers, the most hispanic fellows tackle the tequila, and the remaining characters smoke a fatty to polish off the weed

>>512730219
Yeah, never been a fan of bourbon. Always seemed pretentious, and not a good flavor anyway. But then again, I'm the guy who loves Bacardi Limon, which I freely admit tastes like lemon furniture polish, so I can't really say much for taste.

>>512725856
Bitter flavoring is an acquired taste that comes with age. Children love sweet things and hate bitter things. It is quintessentially childish to hate coffee, tea, and liquor because it does not taste like candy.

I am the opposite. I liked clear liquors like vodka, gin, and clear rum in my 20s, and only gained appreciation for the woodier brown liquors in my 30s.

Fair enough. I agree that sipping bourbon is unpleasant. Definitely better for mixers. It’s not that I never drink brown liquor it’s just way less common than it used to be.

For sipping I actually really like a dark rum on ice, or a cognac (inb4 nigger). I don’t know why blacks love it but it’s one thing they do get right in terms of taste. Henny is overrated though

Everything I've read does not consider the "Lincoln County Process" (charcoal filtering at the end) to be a "flavoring". Jack Daniels IS bourbon but they don't want to be called "bourbon". They want to be better, different, apart from (Kentucky) bourbon.
I think the charcoal filtering (at least the way they do it) adds two off flavors, for every off flavor they remove AND it also removes some of the desired flavors.
It's like drinking ashes.

>>512730776
It only has to be 51% corn. And corn has a lot of complex sugars and carbs that ferment into unique flavors.

>>512730981
There's something about the water in Kentucky that is unique (I think nearly 100% iron free), but bourbon can be made anywhere in America. (You can make it anywhere else and call it "bourbon style" or "bourbon flavor".)

So I didn't go crazy. I had sticker shock looking at the price of Buffalo Trace wondering how I ever ranked it as midshelf /affordable. All these price hikes have snuck up on me, have me guessing at my own memories. Canadian Club is still (relatively) cheap at least.

Better than Kammy. I even put it on the same level as Goose, not a fan of Goose. But I dated a Russian girl once upon a time, and she had the connection for actual Russian vodka that somehow got past US inspections, and I gained an appreciation for why Russians are always portrayed as alcoholics - because their vodka is literally just water, but it fucks you up like you wouldn't believe.

Plus, my brother lives a short distance from Tito's distillery in Austin. He hooks me up. I enjoy Titos, as far as vodka goes. Not big on vodka - mostly just mix it, put it in jello shots or whatever. You don't use quality liquor for mixing.

I've seen a guy get hospitalized because his blood alcohol content was 0.32. For context, the lethal amount is like 0.35. They couldn't even stomach pump him, so they kept him overnight so he wouldn't choke to death on his own vomit. It was most certainly NOT cool.

I've also seen a guy die from renal (liver) failure. This guy would wake up at 2am and wander downstairs just to pour himself a shot of whiskey, like sleepwalking. The hospital literally prescribed him alcohol - they can do that, I found out - because in his weakened state, withdrawal would kill him. He died anyway. That bastard owed me a chess match and died before he could play me. I'll never forgive him for that. When I die I'm going to find his soul or whatever and demand a match from him, because not even death will deny me that promise.

He was a cool dude. Leatherneck, tons of stories. Also very much not cool, the way he went.

Well, soco is a sugar flavored mess.

Early Times is technically not a bourbon. Bourbon must be made in brand new barrels, which are usually sold to Canada or Scotland after their first use. Early Times keeps them here and makes whiskey in them again. Iirc though, they don't dilute it with grain neutral spirits at least.
