An Apology to anyone who wants to read
Does a bottle of whiskey mean something like a normal size bottle of Jack Daniels? I doubt one could drink one of those per day, every day, and last more than a couple years, as the experience above suggests. How long did the OP have this one bottle of whiskey per day habit?keeping_it_riel wrote: In my last job here I worked with an American expat who was doing a bottle of Scotch a day as a functional/working drunk. (Horace knows who I'm talking about.) He carried on like this for three or four years and then dropped he dead.

It appears, by k440 standards, that a bottle of whiskey a day (whatever size) aint even drinking. No surprise there as most on this forum drink a fair amount daily...Hmmm....boredom, eh?

I love fish and chips with vinegar in newspaper!!!
Is that about the same as half a bottle of real whisky then? Doesn't seem too bad.Jackal wrote:So, a bottle of 20% shitty rum, in other words. 750cl.General-Z wrote:A bottle of $1 Mekong Whiskey, if my memory serves me.

I don't know the guy, but I think it's nonsense to think someone can go from "Alcohol is ruining my life and I need to take a pill that makes me puke when I drink it" to, a few months later, "Hey, I can drink when I want now, no problem." When admitted alcoholics use terms like "I've decided to a drink on a handful of different days" or "I had a few beers" these are just code words for a guy who is probably drinking regularly and perhaps even heavily again, though maybe not as much as before. He needs to get help and get out of Cambodia, where he's surrounded by alcoholic enablers and where there's very little to do for entertainment but drink.EdinWigan wrote: DM was doing a bottle of whiskey a day and stopped for a few months, then had a few beers. On balance this seems a massive improvement but I guess now it is down to which way he goes - A. back on the wagon or B. back to a bottle of whiskey a day. Who knows but him.
All of his initial instincts about needing to stop drinking entirely were correct. All of his recent feelings of "Oh, fuck this, I can drink booze as long as it's less than a bottle of whiskey a day" are just a rationalization stemming from his weakness to alcohol and his uncontrollable urges to drink it.

Actually , it was a bottle of King Edwards Scotch Whisky, not much better than Mekong but more than a dollar a bottle, he would buy them 6 at a time for around 30$.

I remember when we all trooped over to Calmette one Sunday afternoon to see the old rascal on his deathbed. Then he carked it, after which Hanky wrote an article about him.horace wrote:Jackal wrote:So, a bottle of 20% shitty rum, in other words. 750cl.General-Z wrote:A bottle of $1 Mekong Whiskey, if my memory serves me.

Where in this post recently did I say "Oh, fuck this, I can drink booze as long as it's less than a bottle of whiskey a day" ??? Where GavinMac? Re-read my recent responses and stop making up things that really are not true. Reading this gave me a laugh because it really is so off base with what I have been saying.gavinmac wrote:I don't know the guy, but I think it's nonsense to think someone can go from "Alcohol is ruining my life and I need to take a pill that makes me puke when I drink it" to, a few months later, "Hey, I can drink when I want now, no problem."
