   However, truth be told I don't drink Bourbon, merely whiskey and that   
   only the highly processed stuff (Jack Daniels). I hate it when these   
   alcoholic posers start discussing their favorite strain of alcohol like   
   gin or scotch etc. Who cares? All I know is I hate vodka and want more   
   tequila.
