An old docker told me they used to get rum straight out of casks when it arrived and it was the strongest stuff they'd ever known

A mate of mine worked down the docks a good few years back now.
He used to get vodka from the crew of the russian ships that used to arrive.
Fuck me but it was lethal.

What’s the whisky connection?
Prepare for economic collapse: last week the 2026 British financial crisis became inevitable
Starmer’s U-turn on welfare cuts now makes the UK’s coming reckoning irreversiblewww.telegraph.co.uk
The last bit in the quoted section iaps one of the fatal problems with contemporary left wing politics - and lately right wing ones as it goes wit cheap imported labour
"We have all just watched a hopeless and hapless PM throw away his majority and, with it, any hope of reform. And the bond vigilantes saw what we saw.
What were Labour’s rebels thinking? Their constituents will be hammered when the money runs out, when salaries and savings lose their value and imports become luxuries. They will be swept from office just as surely as were Greece’s socialist MPs after the euro crisis.
Do they even believe their own claims? Do they truly imagine that they are shielding the vulnerable? Do they picture themselves posed heroically over some wheelchair-bound child, fending off the ghost of Margaret Thatcher?
I doubt it. They have, after all, seen the numbers. They know that one working-age adult in ten is now on benefits. They know that the number is rising, with a thousand people a day applying for Personal Independence Payments (PIP) – a rise which, tellingly, is not mirrored in any indices of sickness.
They understand how PIP works. They know it can be accessed on grounds of, for example, anxiety, alcoholism, or ADHD (there are 50,000 claimants in this last category). They are aware that most new claims are for mental health conditions that are hard to verify. They will have seen the online videos explaining how to make a successful claim – you get this many points for saying that you have trouble getting dressed, this many for saying that you can’t sit still, and so on.
They might even be dimly acquainted with the age breakdown of the claimants. The fastest rise is among 25- to 34-year-olds, an incredible increase of 69 per cent in just five years. Incredible in every sense. Such a sudden and cataclysmic rise in disability would be visible on every street. Do you think Labour MPs, who meet PIP claimants in their surgeries, genuinely suppose that they are all incapacitated to the point of being unable to earn a living?
No, this was never about justice for people with disabilities – still less about justice for taxpayers. Indeed, the most immediate consequence of guaranteeing existing but not future claims is to deter people from coming off benefits, knowing that there will be a lower rate if they go back.
What we are seeing is the lowest and most cynical short-termism from MPs who want to keep their seats. In parts of urban Britain, Labour’s election strategy involves distributing postal votes to welfare claimants along with the warnings that the Tories are coming for their benefits.
From a purely partisan point of view, it suits Labour MPs to have constituents who claim state handouts. Sure, handouts are debilitating for the recipients and burdensome for the contributors; but the politicians who arrange the transfer often get an electoral reward."

Yep it would be guzzled mate. And I'm no trying to be a smart fucker here.
Its why my lassie doesn't like me drinking wine or spirits.
If I've got any booze I'll guzzle it mainly in a day.
I need to get a better hobby.
How it is though.

The thing that stops me guzzling it is that I hate hangovers more than I enjoy drinking whisky. Yeah, I overdo it from time to time but, c'est la vie.

I see the hangover as a challenge. I try no to drink too much wine or spirits.
But if they are there I will tan them.

Had a quick dash round Tesco yesterday - wasn’t in whisky buying mode but noticed Bowmore 12 y o at £44 for £33 with the club card for anyone interested.

I had to get a card for Tesco, not because I shop there regularly, but because of the horrific 'non member' prices on the odd occasion I want to pick up a few things.
If you don't have a card, you need to be a lottery winner for a packet of biscuits.

We don’t shop there often as their nearest stores to us are 18 miles away but there’s quite a difference with the card.
