Dear Scottish peoples

[Jack Davenport]

Yours truly has been dealing with the flu since Saturday. I have been a fan of Scotch whiskey ever since I started stealing it out of my dad's liquor cabinet as a teen. My question is this. I have never bought anything but The Glenlivet and I like it. The reason I mention the flu is the last time I came down with it, I drank 3 or 4 glasses of scotch and it seemed to work wonders in knocking that shit out. I have not been to the office all week so I am able to consume some alcohol today and I want to know the scotch that genuine Scots recommend I should buy that I can get here in the states.

I am certain that scotch is a very good anti-influenza medication.

Thanks in advance,

Your yank friend

I prefer the irish versions when I have the flu.

//A swede.

Ps. This is because the scottish ones are generally tastier.

 

[L3ggy]

You're a Swede? Since when?

 

[PirateKing]

You're a Swede? Since when?

I'm just as surprised as you are.

Alcohol can prevent the flu, but it is unlikely to improve it.

 

[Mayhem]

I'm not Scottish (but if it came with living in Scotland, I'd be willing to convert).

I can't say you're missing out by sticking with Glenlivet. It truly is a wonderful Scotch.

Try Cragganmore. About 15 years ago I frequented a tavern that had "all" the Scotch's (Scotches?). Over time, I tried each and Cragganmore is the one I go for at the liquor store. And overall, I seem to prefer Islay malts over Highland, but they are all good.

A Dutch couple, an Irish couple and a Scottish couple are at the links ready to tee off. The Dutchman's wife steps up to the tee and as she bends over to place ball a gust of wind blows her skirt up and reveals her lack of underwear.

"Good God! Why aren't you wearing any knickers?" her husband demanded.

"Well, you don't give me enough housekeeping money to afford to buy any!"

The Dutchman immediately reaches into his pocket and says, "For the sake of St. Nicholas, here's $50, go and buy yourself some underwear."

Next the Irishman's wife bends over to set her ball on the tee. Her skirt blows up to show that she is wearing no undies.

"Bejesus woman. You've no knickers! Why not?"

She replies, "I can't afford any on the money you give me!"

He reaches into his pocket and says, "For the sake of St. Patrick, here's $20, go and buy yourself some underwear!"

Lastly, the Scotsman's wife bends over. The wind also takes her skirt over her head to reveal that she too is naked under it.

"Hoots mon woman! Why d'ye have nae knickers?"

She too explains, "You nae give me enough housekeeping money to be able to afford any!"

The Scot reaches into his pocket and says, "For the sake of St. Andrew, lass, here's a comb, tidy yourself up a wee bit."

[tartanterrier]

I don't know what Whiskey you have available in the States.Glenlivet is ok,but
there are better ones out there.I myself prefer Highland Park but that is just
my opinion.

Have a look at this website and see if you recognise anything....

Sorry

You've got to stop drinking that Buckie!

 

[Henrik Larsson]

What, not ever?

I drink it in the form of shots but rarely. IF i am taking spirits it will always be in a shot glass. Generally it is vodka, Tequila, sambuca, sourz etc

You've got to stop drinking that Buckie!

Ahh the old tonic wine, the drink of 14 year olds and neds. That or Mad dog, frosty jack's etc. Frosty Jack's is £2 for 2 litres. It's disgusting.

I'm a beer man myself

 

[feller469]

Is there anyone more frustrated than an illiterate Scot trying to figure out which public bathroom to use?

So it was you - who bought all the "End of History" last year, I don't think even one bottle made it south of the border :eek:

 

[Sawney Bean]

Im Scottish and I dont drink whiskey either , it geez me the boak

 

[VampDude]

I can never say I've had a true Scottish whiskey, just Irish (Bushmills) a few from the States (Jack Daniels and a bourbon). Plus a few that say Scotch, but they're made anywhere else but Scotland.

But I'll drink anything, which currently it's Captain Morgan... Straight, because mixed with soft drinks is for wussies who clearly shouldn't be drinking. :1orglaugh

I get it wrong especially when I'm pissed and the club swaps the signs on the door.But
it usually worked well to my advantage :elaugh:

It's a popular misconception and one to which the title of the thread would assume to be true. Not every Scot drinks booze.

Most of us do though. One of the best feeling in life is to be drunk with a bunch of people. IT is so fun.

If people don't want to drink, great, your health will benefit.

But man is it fun
