After finishing a bottle of this, my father and I tried to refresh our glasses with regular "purple bag" crown...
My immediate response was to start looking for a coke. My dad admitted having the exact same thought.

Winning? You don't play poker to win, you play to have a good time. Just do what feels good.. the cards will fall where they may.

No experience to share on American tipples but thanks for this thread.

I'll now pop downstairs and get myself a dram of my favourite SMS (Single Malt Scotch).

No thanks, I'm not a fish (or at least I try not to be), I just impersonate one on the Cellar. What site(s) do you usually play on?

I've never played online. There's a rolling game here in town that's mostly industry people. I play in that every few weeks. Anytime I'm low on work, I go lose a hundred bucks, and walk away with my calendar full of new sessions and gigs.

Ah, can we have 1.25 litres of coke, and a bottle of your cheapest whiskey.

[/18yo]

I think it was 100 pipers. uuuggghhhhhh.

A few years ago I was in Thailand, and saw a road-side petrol vendor, with the petrol all stacked up for sale in what were clearly 100 pipers bottles. Seemed kind of appropriate, really.

As are oaken barrels -- just ask Glenmorangie.

Zen, you may recall Thailand offers an even worse, and even cheaper, whiskey -- and what I said of it then.

Tried a new whiskey from Jim Beam last night called "Red Stag". It has a subtle black cherry taste. Kinda reminds me of Crown Royal 16. Very smooth. 80 proof.
