I've never liked hard liquor. The last whisky I drank was ~50 years ago
when one of my profs treated a bunch of us to a straight malt, which is
the closest I've come to tolerating the stuff. I'll drink gin suitably
diluted with tonic water, but that's it.
I drink wine most of the year and beer in the hotter summer months.
