Undergrad was a lot of vodka drinks. It was also the early 90s. By grad school I'd moved up to single malt scotch. Now it is whisk(e)y in all of the wonderful varieties as my current selection of about 120ish bottles will prove.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Timelies all!
I don't like tasting the alcohol in my drinks, which why, when I do indulge, I tend to get sweet mixed drinks.(Fuzzy Navels were my go to drink in my 20s)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Could your brother recommend a good faux gin, Teppy? I do miss my martinis.

I'll ask him -- I bet he's tried some.

You ask, and my brother delivers: he says the brand Monday is the best nonalcoholic gin for martinis.

Two things I have learned while browsing the website of the giant liquor store in Northern Kentucky: (1) there is $5,000 scotch,* and (2) there's a Canadian whisky called "Bearface," which is a fantastic name.
*(My palate is nowhere near refined enough to appreciate any alcohol that's priced in the 4 figures. Honestly, probably not even the upper 3 figures. I top out at about a $400-$500 Veuve Cliquot, and that's pushing it.)

Bearface is a great name for a Canadian whisky!
I have not tried many of the non-alcoholic liquors, because they're often as expensive as a regular liquor for a bottle, which would be fine if it's good, but is pricey to try out. I do like some of the non-alcoholic beers I've tried (the sours from Athletic are great, but you have to order them online).
I wasted today with a migraine--I didn't want to take another pill today because I just took one Sunday, but wasted the day by trying to fight it with Tylenol and caffeine rather than just going with what works. Grr.

A cocktail with this and Chambord could be called “Berry McBearface”.
