May I post drunkenly...on whiskey?

Next to tequila, I prefer whiskey. Not scotch, smokey, but almost any other kind of whiskey, bourbon and Tennessee in particular, though Irish will always do. Never polluted by ice or mix. Dirty golden dew. As spirits go, it's thick and heavy, and I like the way it clings to the side of the glass when swirled, forming a thick ring at the top of the swing that runs back down in long slow drapish drops. It took me the better part of a lifetime to taste the stuff for what it is. Pure sugar in its quintessential form. Violently sweet with a hint of grain that defines it. Syrup for adults. It surprised me a bit when I finally tasted the intense sweet of whiskey. Something of a revelation really.

I am obviously not a whiskey drinker, but I thought most of the natural sugars were turned into alcohol during the fermentation process. Whiskey never tasted sweet to me, but i never tried to savor it.

It should be a crime to not post drunkenly after midnight.

I really like Whiskey Rye and Ginger Ale, though sometimes the Ginger Ale is not always stocked in all places here.

Whiskey is the only thing I like sipping on by itself. Jack Daniels is my best friend.

I don't drink, but that was a pretty poetic ode. "Syrup for adults" sounds awfully sensual.

Oh and I'm all for drunken posts.
Just always remember that by the time you wake up from your stupor, your post would have been seen by hundreds and you've already become a figure of fun and ridicule for it.
