Why do so many American films and movies have people drinking this slop? It tastes like shit. Whiskey is only bearable mixed with something.

you're just a pussy
Tastes like shit.
Beer is much better.
You probably like IPA
I like Guinness
>BRO, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE GUINNESS STOREHOUSE IN IRELAND! THE BEER IS SO MUCH BETTER THERE!
You can buy Guinness in any reputable drinking establishment in his Majesty's United Kingdom, Republican.
>beer
have a real drink, pussy number 2

drinking neat quality alcohol isn't even badass homosexual.
Jack Daniel's is the most baffling. It is both objectively terrible, like truly some of the worst you can buy while also being *crazy* expensive. And yet it apparently continues to sell.
No actually the worse mainstream overpriced swill is Makers Mark by far. Horrible whiskey packaged in a pretty ball. Makers 46 is much better though
JD sells because its a great mixer. Why do you think its called "Jack and Coke."
Apparently JD used to be much better, and now they’re just coasting on brand loyalty. Their single barrel releases are proof that they still know how to make good whiskey, they just choose not to.
man the last time I had some of that it was so good. I should get some again one day, really damn expensive though
You're admitting that whiskey tastes like shit. I'm not a pussy just because I choose not to drink things that taste bad.
Cope! Lol. You're a fat piece of shit
HOLY FIBBYBIPPY
This. Maybe a fourloco is more you’re speed, OP.
You have to be over the age of 18 to post here. Whiskey, like a lot of liquor, tastes a lot better the more you drink it.
Okay alkie.
Opposite for me.
Really enjoyed it in my 20's, started to dislike it more and more in my 30's
>the more you drink this shit-flavored water, the more I learn to ignore the terrible taste
Alcoholics truly are on another level.
I also used to think this when I was fiftee
being drunk on straight whiskey is the best drunk there is, nothing compares to it, like you're on cloud 9, you are awesome, life is beautiful, no other kind of drunk makes me feel that way, only whiskey
But now I'm almost 3 years sober, shit was killing me. I do miss it sometimes
>abandoning humanity's friend
I mean it got so bad that my nerve endings in my feet were shutting down and I had to use a cane
Eventually the suffering outweighs the pleasure
yang was always drinking brandy
for me its the fact that a good whiskey buzz comes with the least next day effects. I get drunk on gin, rum, cider, wine especially, I am operating at lower efficiency. Whiskey? Have a black coffee next morning and you're back in it.
I've cut back a ton since covid though, was getting excessive but compared to a lot of the alcoholics i know I barely had my toes in the water. I've known people going through a handle in two or three days. I don't even understand how people can do that shit and not only continue being alive but also functioning.
Literally same. I don't understand it but I can drink whiskey like a fish the night before and as long as I nominally keep up with some water throughout the evening, the next day I'll maybe have a very mild headache that goes away with some fried eggs and coffee, pretty much no matter how much I drink. Any other liquor I'll be laid up in bed all day. Why is that?
How much is "drinking like a fish"? If it's under a fifth, there's your answer
>I've known people going through a handle in two or three days
This was me, especially since I could have it delivered now. I wfh and basically set my own hours and don't ever have to deal with any of that zoom or facetime bullshit so it enables me to do what I want. I was pretty functional, cooked and cleaned every day, worked out too. Just decided to stop because I know if I keep that up I'm going to have health problems. The craziest thing is I had almost zero withdrawal symptoms.
Your sober friends were less impressed.
If it's made for mixing then no shit you shouldn't be drinking it on its own.
>Whiskey
Bait post you are america. It's whisky.
It's an American website
Are you telling me americans make america hate threads?
It's mostly shiftless Europoors and interlopers from the 3rd world internet
yes
Of course. You can't routinely post obsessed if nobody is bullying you
irish whiskey is a disgrace. the worst scotch/bourbon is better than the best irish whiskey
yellowspot is pretty good
Canadian is literally the worst I've ever had. Would rather drink everclear or moonshine.
How's moonshine? never tried, I always saw it in movies and tv and it looked pretty good, homemade liquor.
Depends on the proof and distillation process. People can make it ranging anywhere from 20% to 80% ABV. I've had some that were surprisingly smooth. Most of it tastes like bottom shelf vodka at best and rubbing alcohol at worst.
Pretty damn incorrect. If you're going for cheap stuff, Irish is more palatable than Scotch. Cheap Scotch is nasty. If you're spending a little more, Scotch produces a more interesting range of flavours making it more worthwhile.
Yeah plus Redbreast Irish whisky is one of the best tasting whiskey out there
Ever since the tariffs on scotch there's no such thing as 'cheap' scotch anymore in america. And tariffs were repealed by the price stayed the same so those homosexuals are just pocketing the money now.
Stick to Babycham so, you poofta.
I had to stop drinking for health reasons, but I really miss getting a nice buzz from jameson's and shitposting on Cinemaphile
I need to and soon but I haven't decided it's time yet.
I've drank 4oz of vodka at 3am the past two days because I can't sleep.
>4oz
Say what you will about The Big Lebowski but his thing with only drinking White Russians is an accurate portrayal of a trust fund baby casual drinker. I’m a trust fund baby that doesn’t work and if I can have a gin or vodka and tonic I will drink it no matter the time of day, but if someone offers me whiskey or tequila or something I’m probably not going to drink it.
Why don't you do something instead of being a trust fund baby
I have 2.5 million in a moderate risk mutual fund along with a few hundred thousand or something in random stocks. I also own the six unit apartment building where I live in unit 1. What the frick else am I supposed to be doing? Working a job and being miserable like people that aren’t trust fund babies?
Based. Any deadbeats or has it been smooth sailing? I have heard from friends that it's not worth it being a landlord in any blue states these days because the rules become more moronic and tenant-biased every year. My one friend just ended up selling all his units in Colorado because it's full commieville down there now.
Yeah I left Denver in 2019 after TDS plagued the entire city. Got out right before the Covid bullshit. Living like a king in Bumfrick Nebraska and loving it.
I’m voting for Biden next year
The greatness of 20th Century is due to your grandfathers and great-grandfathers drinking straight brown liquor all day and being functional. If its too much to handle, throw a couple ice cubes in it and claim your seat at their ancestral table
they would also do speed all the time, give that credit too
Don’t forget the cocaine in the soda pop and the laudanum for those little aches and pains. Verily our forefathers liked to get fricked up
take me back
Nah, mine was a beer drinker.
When I was a little kid in the 80’s my grandpa and uncle would ride horses and lasso calves and brand them and bale hay from 6am to sundown and during that time each of them would finish 24 beers a piece and then sip whiskey and water when they got home. Grandpa lived to be 100 but my uncle isn’t in the best shape.
Drinking is sad, degenerate behaviour. Never trust a drinker
never trust anyone who is reliant on a psychoactive substance to get through daily life, they are weak and traitorous
Exactly. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to freshen my coffee. Don’t know what I’d do without me coffee
I never understood the cultural fixation around coffee either.
As for myself, I can’t trust anyone that can’t do the things he enjoys in moderation. Drinking and doing drugs needs to be experience enhancers and not the experience itself.
I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t drink. They’re all hiding something, teetotal bastards.
There's nothing wrong with making the choice not to drink.
It's the people that pretend they don't understand the appeal and act smug about their ignorance that you need to watch out for
I’ll have a social drink or two with you but as soon as you start to get sloppy I’m out
what's a sloppy sign
Slurring, knocking shit over, craving kabob, that sort of thing
I'm mostly hiding the fact that I start feeling nauseous after only one drink.
Flat out the best bottle of whiskey in all of creation. I was lucky enough to snag a bottle and it’s worth more to me than my children.
That shit is not whiskey, that is some united-statian bullshit called "whiskey"
Sounds like typical yuropoor nonsense to me. Maybe you should save all your rubles (or whatever ridiculous thing you “people” use for money) and you can be fortunate enough to taste greatness. It’s 1500 a bottle, that’s your entire villages income for a year isn’t it?
Whiskey should be golden not brown. Also, it should only be mixed with purified water and ice.
You don’t have the slightest clue what you’re talking about. The color of the whiskey depends on what it was aged in.
then, why is it that only moronic united-statian liquor is brown, when everywhere else is golden?
Hint: it's because of the aging process for whiskey, which you cretins do not follow, hence your shit is not whiskey, but some corn liquor
Because of the barrels dipshit. American whiskey is aged in new barrels, which are then reused for Scotch whisky or brandy or whatever. And why are all Scotch whiskys golden, regardless of age? Because they are allowed to use artificial coloring, a process which is explicitly illegal in America.
You sound like a homosexual.
I'm drinking Canadian whiskey on the rocks right now, get fricked.
No maple syrup in there?
Not him but I tried a Canadian Maple Bourbon before and it was fricking awful.
>Canadian whiskey
gasoline is often more palatable.
You'll understand when you grow up kiddo
I can't drink whiskey or any liquor because it smells like shit
I’m drinking Woodford reserve on the rocks. Scotch is fricking terrible tho
These types of threads make me wonder how many people have a personality that is just hating america. You hardly ever see euros talk about themselves in any board for the most part. It’s like you can’t have a conversation without prefacing your disdain for america first.
Ask them about cheese. Then simply wait.
It's thr fastest way to out Southern French
Whiskey is for teens and homosexuals. Real men drink yorsh (vodka washed down or mixed with beer)
sorry fren, I don't take advice from people statistically likely to have aids
You're statistically likely to be a homosexual, or brown. Or both.
The AIDS ridden don't get to talk about gays. They're your kindred, after all.
Then stop me, brown mutt homosexual.
Easy there, the GRID's making you a bit testy
t. child
>zoomers
I have yet to find a whiskey I like
>HMMM YES NOTES OF VANILLA AND TOASTED CARAMEL
Nope it all tastes like something you'd use to treat wounds. The only one Ive ever found that wasnt garbage was Eagle Rare but that stuff is hard to come by around here.
I really sont understand the whole "It gets better the more you drink it bro."
So what Im supposed to throw hundreds of dollars away on stuff that tastes like rubbing alcohol and either get drunk enough to where I cant tell the difference or magically hope that that mantra isnt a cope by alcoholics and actually true.
What a joke. Good wienertails are a way nicer experience.
Moderation really is the key to everything.
I did a shot of 100 proof and I'm feeling like everything is right with the world. I know if I try to drink more I'll get all fricked up and spend two days locked in self pity.
You're supposed to add some water to it, even whiskey tasters do it.
People who claim to enjoy straight whiskey are either liars or alcoholics.
Maybe for the real fancy ones, but the generic store bought slop, blended or otherwise, goes down smooth and you are a homosexual if you start mixing water into it, other than some ice
>people who drink are alcoholics
Hot take there, sport
I said generic, not sour mash trash like JD or throat scraping Red Label.
Is there a whiskey that reminds you of Christmas?
When I graduated highschool until I was like 23 I absolutely abused whiskey, drinking a LOT out of the bottle. I can barely drink it at all anymore, my body won't let me. If I take a shot of whiskey I look like I've never had a drink in my life now. Only whiskey. I'm also still an alcoholic and drink like 20 beers every single day but can't drink whiskey.
>When I graduated highschool until I was like 23
This is what happenes to your brain when you drink too much
You don't type a comma in a Cinemaphile post? Whoa
Your brain must be mush because the issue ain't a comma
>When I graduated highschool, until I was like 23
Oh no no no no he's moronic
ESL
Yes, you are
So true man, now lets continue acting superior because we literally cannot understand casual english written on Cinemaphile that isn't strictly prescriptive like we were taught in school.
All i see is an ESL monkey trying to cope
>n-no u
It's crazy how in Europe we have so many different styles of drinks all fermented from delicious things like prunes and cherries and apples and even flowers like roses and elderflowers and they're all amazingly superior to all the meme liquor shit you see in America like whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, and brandy. And yet Americans have no idea about them at all. They've probably never even heard of such things.
America has all that shit too moron
American whiskey > yuro trash liquor
you're comparing COMPLETELY different things
I know this is bait but
>Vodka
>American
>Brandy
>American
>Gin
>American
This is some moron shitposting
>rusanglogermcucks
>european
There’s a reason Europeans don’t regard those drinks as top tier.
The best brandy in the world is french and gin is primarily associated with the UK.
>Inb4 I was merely pretending to be moronic
>gin is associated with rusanglogermcucks
What part of this is confusing to you, Genghis?
Maybe that's the case in other countries but as far as I know, in my native Spain people are super basic foe drinks. I do enjoy a good gin on a party night or a whiskey if I want to push myself but that's pretty much it.
The trick is that the first few sips destroy your taste buds so the rest of the glass goes down easy. Shit truly is disgusting though.
>Whiskey is only bearable mixed with something.
Hey!
We don't get many women around here ---- welcome!
No alcohol made in the world should habe the audacity to be called whiskey. At best, they are some sweet bullshit that is unpalatable to people that have had real whiskey before. Also, whiskey should be hold not fricking brown
Wanna try that again? Maybe after you graduate from the third grade?
in the new world should have*
American liquor tastes like gasoline
That’s how you know it’s good.
It’s usually just flavoured everclear, which is to say corn derived ethanol so yeah. What are you doing to go about it?
Straight no chaser = being manly. Having perforated stomach + colon is manly.
>booze bad
>specific booze bad
Caring this deeply about the taste of shit you don't consume is pure homosexualry.
At least wine-homosexuals and IPA soibois are worthy of admonishing due to their pretention; someone that gets buzzed or drunk on beer, wine, vodka, whisky or whatever the frick is just another /druk/bro.
stop drinking cheap shit you fricking moron
>Price = quality
OH NO NO NO NO AHAHAHAHA
t. poorgay
Unless everclear is illegal in your country, all bottom shelf stuff is everclear with food coloring masquerading as different types of booze.
"don't drink cheap shit" doesn't automatically mean "buy a $500 bottle or you're not drinking REAL ______".
This. I’ve been a wild Turkey guy for 10 years followed by Old Best bang for your buck for bourbon followed by Old Grand Dad and old forester
>not recognizing Evan Williams Black Label for just over ~$20 a handle as the best value in bourbon
You sound like an old b***h.
Anon Im sorry I wouldnt subject deathrow inmates to Wild Turkey.
Your balls haven’t dropped completely yet , get that checked out asap
Eat my whole ass Wild Turkey is fricking pisswater used to treat wounds. Sorry youre so much of a lush youre numb to drinking garbage when theres plenty of decent whiskey at the same price point or a step higher.
If you don't like the taste of alcohol, why are you drinking it?
Youre unironically an alcoholic if you think Wild Turkey is acceptable. That shit is actually everclear with food coloring
Im sorry you had to find this out on a mongolian basket weaving forum.
I don't drink every day, but I remember when i started alcohol had a very harsh and bitter flavor, now it tastes like warm, slightly sweet water. not sure what I did to lose the other taste. but seems like you don't drink much, pussy.
I do drink I just drink dog piss.
You can easily grab 4 Roses or a Buffalo Trace product for the exact same price point as Wild Turkey and not trick your brain into enjoying the acrid taste of something akin to an anti-septic.
Its okay to admit you have abhorrent taste
again, it isn't acrid, its basically tastes like strong cinnamon.
I have never met anyone defend bottom shelf whiskey this hard
funny, i meet a lot of homosexuals who don't have or like the taste of alcohol.
I like how Ive stated and named multiple well-known and acclaimed distilleries and brands like Four Roses and Buffalo Trace (Hell throw Bulleit in there too) as very accessible and similarly priced alternatives to Wild Turkey, and your literal only response is ad hominem bullshit and claiming I dont drink when I clearly do.
The only homosexual here is you. And not only are you a homosexual, youre a homosexual whos also a shill.
Id say I pity you but I cant really feel bad for someone who gets this fricking defensive over Wild Turkey being called a shitty whiskey.
I guess thanks for leaving more decent bottles on the shelf for the rest of us while you chug your swill
>similarly priced
lel
You get vastly diminishing returns once you go past a certain expense, but pretending the cheapest aren’t low quality is delusional
Whiskey is made from barley, not corn like you, uncultured swine do
Bourbon on the rocks is good shit
Coors Light drinkers need not apply.
>Implying both arent wonderful in their respective environments
Rope all snobs
Bourbon
whiskey>>>>(power gap)
be a man, drink rye. bourbon was literally invented to give homosexuals something to drink
> drink rye
No thank you. Only for manhattans maybe
>go out with some people
>order a rye and water
>everyone makes fun of me
It is a bit of an old man drink anon
is it weird that I only like fruity drinks and hate hard liquor and beer?
pussy
Is Crown Royal still acceptable patrician choice? I just put that on the rocks, I’m a simple man
Only if you then dump it directly in the trash and then drink a liquor that wasn’t invented by Canadians specifically for Blacks.
You sound like an IPA drinker
I'm 32 and first drank when I was 17. Liquor tastes like shit. You drink it to get drunk not for the taste.
the taste and smell of Red Label makes me diamonds either on the rocks or mixed up with ginger ale
what other good, cheap whisky am i missing out?
Americans think they are this guy when drinking whiskey on the roooooooocks
I really like Japanese whiskey but I wish it wasn't so expensive.
homie whiskey from the hood?
I've been sober for 5 years. Took me a lot of tries before that.
What was your drink of choice? Congrats on the sobriety
Scotch and wine mostly. Sometimes I really miss the wine, having a glass or two is tempting but at this point it's not worth the risk.
>slop
buzzword detected, opinion discarded
if you can't understand the appeal of whiskey perhaps it's just not for you, or you haven't had a good whiskey. to me, more than vodka or other liquor, whiskey has the widest gap in taste and quality from bottom shelf to top
You're supposed to serve it with a side of water, usually movies have people drinking it neat though to show they're a tough guy
i drink blantons like that. cheap shit burns/taste like shit, but if you buy actual quality liquor, its smooth as frick going down and taste great.
When you get a bit older you'll appreciate things you found gross when you're a kid.
GT is the ultimate drink.
Ice is not needed unless you have no ac and you let your man drink get above 70f like a fricking homeless person. SOMETIMES you can add A ice cube to strong whisky above 50%. Otherwise drink the shit straight. If it tasted bad buy something better and stop being a pussy. Also peat is shit.
