Where is everyone?

I've probably had more Jack Daniel's Old Time Old No 7 Brand Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey tonight than I had in the previous 20 years combined. Apparently it still works.

Good call. Looking forward to a wisdom shedding from you within the next few hours
 
Might happen. Working the handle on the Guinness keg now that everyone's gone home.

I'm generally a Scotch/Irish whiskey man, as you know, but one of the guys who came over for ribs tonight is a Native (North) American from upper Saskatchewan and he brought a bottle of Jack tonight because he knows we're from Tennessee. It would have been a GD slap in his face not to open that bottle and drink the whole damn thing with him. So I did.

You made the right decision, no doubt. Can Mrs. Verc handle her Jack?
 
Mrs Verc was game enough to stick a glass in there every so often. I think the guy was a little taken aback because he was drinking it with ice and soda and Mrs Verc and I were both taking it straight. We don't F around with whiskey in this house.
 
This is a guy who played basketball at Clemson a decade ago. He's something like 6-9, 320+. He barely fit in the house. If I had any sense at all it would worry me how much more whiskey I drank than he did.

Haha. Well, i imagine your tolerance is impressive
 
I have what you might call a really good front-end tolerance. I can drink an enormous amount of alcohol without getting sloppy. But once I get there, I'm done and I've got to get to a bed. My buddy up in Baltimore gets drunk in like 45 minutes, which is endlessly funny....but then he can just stay right there for a dozen hours while still drinking. He never gets sloppy.

He's flying down here next weekend to drink because his marriage is falling apart. I might die.

Oh that's awful. Hope you can shed some good drunken advice for him. Or, at minimum, give him a good time
 
I have no advice for him. He's 47; his wife is 39. She's got a 21 year old daughter with a heroin addiction, and her addiction has destroyed their marriage. They haven't even been married three years yet. It's depressing. I was the best man; it was by far the best wedding I've ever been to. And apparently it's already over.
