- After a visit to the doctor, I had to take a step back and seriously ask myself, "Am I drinking too much?"
Is there such a thing as drinking too much without being an alcoholic? How much should I be drinking? How does over drinking effect your health? In this episode I open up about my health journey as well as share my thoughts on how much I was drinking.

This is one of the most important episodes. I've been like you, drinking 7 days a week, 2-3 drinks a night, discovering new whiskey, not alcoholic, but habitual & unhealthy. Also - going through stress and having anxiety and high blood pressure and not great sleep. My conclusion was the same: I too have been deciding to drink during the weekend. One of my friends has a theme: "Everything in moderation." I used to poo-poo that, but I think it is an important theme. Here's to your health (and everyone who enjoys your videos!)
Thank you!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Important video, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Randy, Master Blender Nancy Fraley here. Wow, this is hands-down THE BEST whiskey-related TH-cam episode I have ever seen! I cannot thank you enough for addressing this issue so openly and honestly. As someone who has to work with alcohol every day, often analyzing anywhere from 120 to 200 Bourbon & other whiskey barrels at cask strength per day by nosing and tasting, the negative physiological effects of alcohol can be cumulative over time. It does not matter if you are tasting and spitting. One does not "get drunk" doing this over the course of a work-day as long as one is spitting, but a compromised immune system as well as the depletion of overall vitality and strength over time are the long-term effects.
I've had a number of health issues in the past few years which I know are directly related to my work. For many years now, I've wanted to address this issue and reach out to others of us who work in the industry and whose job entails working with high proof alcohol on a daily basis, who quite often experience the negative health effects (but who are not necessarily alcoholics either). I haven't known exactly how to go about this, but this is inspiring me to find some sort of way to address the issue. At any rate, I commend you for squarely addressing this topic for the Bourbon connoisseur world. While not a "fun" topic, it is truly a matter of life and death. Many thanks my friend! Here's to your good health and longevity! 😍
Nancy, Thank you for your kindness. I will say it far and wide, you are one of my favorite people. Anything I can do to help, I am at your service!
So are you saying that if you are tasting and spitting it still has health effects or are you saying that if you taste and spit there are no health effects?
@@maddevil7474 If you are tasting and spitting 120-200 cask strength barrels a day you are still investing enough ethanol to have an impact on your health. I have done just 25 in a day and started to feel buzzed, so 200 would be enough.
@@maddevil7474 There are most definitely negative health effects if you taste and spit for your work every day, and they are cumulative over time. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough.
Great information. Thank you for sharing this.
My pleasure!
Great topic and thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Great video. "Hobby" alcohol is a tricky gig.
Definitely have to pay attention to your health.
Thank you Randy for this video. Very insightful and knowledgeable. Ive been drinking 7 days a week 2 or 3 pours. While i dont over-do it, I think its time to ease up on it and only drink 2 or 3 nights a week. Once again thanks for the video. Cheers 🥃
Great information and worthwhile topic, thanks!
My pleasure!
Well said.
Enjoying our hobby while developing responsable habits.

Water break!!!!
Thank you!
Great info! Thanks

Good video - important topic
Thank you!
This is probably the most important episode
Thank you! It was boring to watch, but the content was important.
thank you, so many extreme positions out there, moderation is so welcome
We can have fun, but we have to consider our health while we do it.
Wow this really hits home with me. Thank you for this.
Thanks for listening. My drinking got back up there during the holidays, but I am back to not drinking during the week. We can do it together.
Thank You Randy. I am conscious of my health and this information is good to know. Personal responsibility is of the utmost importance and you have given us some tools to support that responsibility. Appreciate you Sir.
My pleasure
As a physician who drinks whiskey, thank you so much for this video. Spot on with everything.
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely great content you always give us big fan thank you so much
Thank you!
Thank you for this.. It was highly informative
You're so welcome!
Im not a daily drinker. I enjoy my whiskey and craft beers but I know for me I can’t do it everyday. But that makes it all the more pleasurable when I do drink it. It becomes a treat.
Sounds like a good plan.
Thanks for talking about this. Too many bourbon groups champion the chugs and everyday drinking.
All things can be enjoyed in moderation!
Well said!
It was the “I love you” that got me to like the video. Love you too brother 👊🏽
I am weird that I really do love people until they give me a good reason not to, so I figure I should say it incase someone needed to hear it.
Excellent episode! Thank you for sharing! Really enjoy your channel!
Thanks for watching!
When I first saw this title I was thinking I wasn’t going to watch. Then thought I probably need to. I have enjoyed bourbon for years but was more into IPAs etc. Then the pandemic hit and I discovered whiskey tube such as the Bourbon Junkies, Mash and Drum etc. I started collecting and drinking. Even though I didn’t think Covid would get me there was a certain fatalistic “drink up today because tomorrow we may die” mantra in my head. And that mantra was still there by late 2021 when my life was back to normal. So I started to back off. But the habits had become engrained. Your video gave me the clarity that I needed. What is ironic is my wife is 31 years sober. And yes she puts up with me. I don’t want to tip that scale to the point that I have to join her. And even though I really don’t think that would happen, my sleep and my heath have suffered. Sipping a little less makes sense.
We all could use a little help to see what just makes sense. You can do it. We can do it together.
Nice episode. Probably quite a few who watch that are in the same boat. I've thought about it quite a lot and learned what I could about the health effects, and my findings line up pretty weill with what you have presented. A good idea to not drink during the week, but so far, I continue with my evening drink.
Thanks for making this episode. Cheers to your health and happiness!
I have enough events that come up in the week that I generally do not make it M-F without drinking, but I have been able to cut it out when there isn't an event. My sleep quality has improved so much that when I think of drinking I am deterred by the prospect of a bad night's sleep. You should try it. You can do it.
Great video, definitely some important information, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
First off Randy - we all love you! Your health is the single most important thing you've got. I hope another update you've made is to designate a primary care physician for yourself. This is really important, especially as you age. Second - to all the viewers. Randy (and Wes) provide us a tremendous amount of valuable information. Help him out and buy something from his web site. I received my 2 Glens and carry case earlier this week. My wife told me she thought they were really cool. Finally, pray for all those impacted by Hurricane Ian.
Thank you and Amen!
Good stuff. Makes me feel better about my 5-7 pours a week.
That would be considered light assuming you are male.
@@BourbonRealTalk I do like higher proof, but I've got so much to do when I get home. Some nights it's a reward for getting all the dogs fed and other little tasks. I guess I'm too busy to drink like I used to. I like my "rewards" though. Now if I've had a productive shopping trip to my local stores, I'll sample all the bottles that night. That's a rare, sometimes monthly or bi-monthly, event.
@@RUM123 Sounds like you have a system that works for you. Keep it up.
Real. Talk. 🙏🏻
I joked that we don't call it Bourbon "Real Talk" for nothing. Cheers!
how am I suppose to drink the 200 bottles I have. everything you discussed make absolute sense I'm sure most of us listening can concur.
When you have 200 bottles they are not for drinking, they are for sharing!
@@BourbonRealTalk and I most definitely do.
This was very informative. Great job👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m about 4-5 months into my bourbon journey. Being new, it’s so exciting trying everything and anything you can. However, in the past 2 months I’ve gotten so many colds and strep throat. The only thing that has changed is my bourbon intake. I’ve really started to think about how frequently I drink. I’m going to try the weekends strategy and up my water intake for the non drinking days.
That should do the trick! Hope the video helped!
This is why im currently abstaining for about a year and a half while i stick to a low carb diet, no sugars, and cardio with alternate weight training thru 2023 and maybe beyond. Covid got me into bad habits
Good for you! Good luck on your fitness journey!
I try to limit alcohol to the weekends or during special occasions during the week that are a once in a quarter type of event.
Also for weekend drinking I only do so if I met my gym goals for the week. Usually aim for 5 days of working out and then I can indulge a bit (not getting plastered but having 3 drinks give or take a bit) during that time if I feel like it.
That sounds like a good plan. Cheers!
@@BourbonRealTalk cheers! Also I'm new to bourbon. Thanks for all the reviews and tips. I've got old forester 86 and knob creek 9 year. Thinking michters will be my next purchase.
Excellent video. Gives more meaning to the “Drink Responsibly” messages on many bottles.
I commend you for recognizing and pushing awareness to the potential hazards of enjoying our beverages of choice.
Thank you!
Thanks Randy, great information. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
This is quickly becoming my favorite bourbon channel. This is one of the realest bourbon talks I’ve heard and it needed to be said. I relate a lot to this video. I’m a marathoner, father of 4, and superintendent on a busy jobsite 5-6 days a week. In the past I’ve been good about not drinking during the week but I was definitely binge drinking on the weekends more so before I got into bourbon. Believe it or not becoming a bourbon drinker has helped me drink less because I focus on quality more over quantity. I appreciate this real talk and shared with a few friends that I know can relate to it as well. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much!
Thanks for bringing the “real talk”. It’s important as a community to keep each other healthy, so thanks for bringing attention to all aspects of being a bourbon enthusiast. I cut back myself due to quality of sleep issues I was having. I look to have a drink earlier in the day when I do drink. Going to bed sober makes waking up sober feel a lot better!
I have noticed that my tolerance has gone way down now that I am not drinking daily, and it is way easier for me to feel the ill effects of having drank the day before than it was before I cut back. A little extra incentive to stay away from drinking when I don't have time to sleep in.
People get very hung up on the label "alcoholic." It's simpler and better to ask if you have a problem with alcohol. If it affects your health, your work, your family, or your happiness, you have a problem. This is better in many ways because even if you drink once a month but that one time you get blackout drunk and drive, it's a problem. Or if that one time you wreak havoc on your marriage, that's a problem. Plus, problems are relatively easy to fix compared to managing alcoholism and can usually be done on your own or with therapy if the reason for the problem is emotional/trauma-based.
Solid points! I think this is why I wanted to do this piece. If you compare your life to what you read about alcoholism it is easy to dismiss your drinking as not a "problem", when you really should make some changes.
As a physician and bourbon lover, this was a great video! You clearly are a awesome human! Balance in life is important and i agree with your drinking advice.Your self awareness is on point. Cheers my friend and stay safe.
Thank you so much!
I find 1oz pours easier to keep track of.
1oz @
80 proof = .66
86 = .71
86.4 = .72
90 = .75
92 = .76
94 = .78
100 = .83
101 = .84
112.2 = .93
114 = .95
118 = .98
124 = 1
6 oz a good amount for my skinny ass. Over 4 to 5 hours.
Cheers! Great topic.
Thanks for the table!
Actually, a lot of times, alcohol will lower blood pressure mot raise it ..
Tachycardia can be brought up after a meal just as easy.
It could be , you had anxiety while the doctor were measuring your blood pressure.. Stress will have an impact on pressure..
Anyway.. Love your channel, good luck and be blessed 🙌
The long term effect is raising BP. The short term may be lowering it. I did measure my BP over time, so I know it wasn't just the anxiety of being at the doctor. Thank you for the support!
@@BourbonRealTalk Yes, you are correct.
Stay healthy and positive ✨️!
Dude. A freaking plus. A+!!! Glad someone said it
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@BourbonRealTalk question here! Think you can make a video about some bottles having Pre-prohibition or prohibition style on them?? What does this mean?
@@jpvidrine It is a marketing term not a legal description, so it can mean anything. In the case of Old Forester it means they are using a recipe that was from before prohibition, or mimicking some process that was from before prohibition. For instance the 1910 comes from a warehouse fire that damaged barrels. They rebarreled the whiskey to prevent leakage, so 1910 is aged in two barrels. It is more marketing than historically accurate because the second barrel they use is just a toasted barrel, and the original 1910 second barrel was not. Sometimes it means they use a process that has gone by the wayside, like a pot still or cypress fermentation tanks. If there is one in particular you are interested in let me know and I can give you a specific answer.
@@BourbonRealTalk I figured it was more marketing than anything, and I feel like I’ve been seeing it a bit more lately! Jim Beam put it on their rye, bushmills Irish whiskey did it with their ‘Peaky Blinder’ edition, templeton rye, and a few others! Just thought it would make for some good content coming from y’all that I’m pretty sure nobody has made yet! Cheers!
@@jpvidrine Thank you for the idea!
This is the video that I really didn’t want to hear, but really needed to hear. Thank you.
I hope it helps. Talk to your doctor and do what is right for you!
Mad respect!! A bourbon channel discussing the negative affects of alcohol. Important stuff.
Thank you!
Thanks Randy, we need more videos and discussion around this topic in the whiskey community.
Casually drinking during the week became a habit for me last year and I would have a couple pours here and there. And then on the weekends have more socially. I would have foggy mornings but would just shrug it off.
I moved in with my now fiancé this year, who has encouraged me to scale back to just the weekend like you. Whiskey is a more enjoyable experience now when you wait for the weekend for that first pour! And during the week if I have cravings, I reach for a coconut water. Cheers and wish everyone good health!
Awesome! Congrats on the engagement!
@@BourbonRealTalk thank you!
Just another example that you love us!! Thank You. Love you all!
I want you all to enjoy live, but to be around for a long time for your loved ones!
Everything in moderation....
...seems like a good rule...
Exactly!
This episode is why I love the BRT channel and community. Excellent information
Much appreciated
I'll drink to that! 🍸
It is funny because I usually hold a glass of whiskey when I film and I made a joke that I probably shouldn't for this one 😂
You never fail to make sense, Randy. This is why I like your channel. Thanks.
I appreciate that
Great video with a wonderful message.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great show Randy!!! Makes me think about how and when to enjoy a drink.
My problem was I had stopped thinking about it. Glad this was helpful.
Definitely not a alcoholic or anything but love my barrel proof’s probably 2 drinks 2 days per week
Well within the recommended limits.
Thank you for that great information. Glad you shared. New to the channel but watching all i can. Nice community 👍
Glad you are enjoying it! Cheers!
Really great video! Thanks for your honesty and openness and the great information!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Randy, if you've reached the end of your day and nobody has thanked you yet, THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! Do you have a favorite whiskey that you enjoy?
@@BourbonRealTalk If I had to make a list of 5 daily go-tos, I'd say RR10, RRSiB, Jeff's Reserve, Maker's 46, and OF1897.
Solid rule I go by… no alcohol during the work week… for several reasons… one to avoid alcoholism first and for most… second the job does random testing… I don’t mind waiting for the days off to drink… it makes it special plus the effect of the alcohol isn’t watered down… Great topic to talk about and bringing awareness…
Thank you
Need a PCP, especially after 30 . I just got into bourbon collecting. Probably not a good idea for someone like me, but whatevers, we live and we die. I think that's more around genetics than anything else. We all have a preprogrammed amount of heartbeats my old gf father who was a surgeon told me, and once they expire, so do we. Brilliant guy who didn't believe in general exercise.
I suggest we do what we can to be healthy, and then let the cards fall where they may, but I support people's right to make their own choices and deal with the consequenses.
I find the 6 PM rule helps me out during the week. I usually just have one pour in the evening and some nights I just don't feel like a drink. I pretty much gave up beer for Whiskey and have seen great fitness results. The only issue with the whiskey hobby is there is always something new to try and it really tests my resolve if I have a new bottle waiting in the wings. Informative video and I hope the Real Estate market gets back on a more even track very soon.
Thank you. Things have started to pick up.
Great video. Very important information
Thank you
Hands down, the best whiskey TH-cam video I’ve seen recently. Thanks for your candor, Randy, and for sharing your personal experiences with us. Love ya, brother.
Wow, thanks! Not sure I can agree, but brutal honesty is kind of my MO.
Great video, and an mportant topic. These all hit close to home for me, because I have high Bp without drinking, and I love my whiskey. Trying to do what I can to take better care of myself and I’m glad this is out there for others to think about! Keep it up and thanks
Thank you for the encouragement!
Thanks for addressing this. Always good to keep an eye on your intake and frequency since it rarely goes down by itself. Always decide how much to drink before starting.
Good advice!
I drink three pours of approx 1.5 ounces per night and absolutely no more than that. I also don't drink to get a buzz or for any stress/anxiety relief but simply to enjoy the taste. Some days I drink less or not at all but it's never more than three
Just make sure you are having you blood work done regularly, and be honest with your doctor about your intake. 3 drinks a day and 21 a week around the equivalent that I was drinking, and it did have an impact. Cheers!
@@BourbonRealTalk What my idea was is to take my random generator app (I use one called Randomizer) and create a list named "How many pours?" with 3 options: Zero, Two, and Three. Have it set to display one random result per day and that will be how many pours you can have on that day. That way it's totally random and a lot less cold turkey than going weekends only.
@@RebeccaPaige Sounds like it would work. Good luck!
Thank you Randy. As other have said this is such an important topic. Another important thing to pay attention to is what a Portion Size is for your drink. Filling the glen to the top is not 1 drink... but more like 4. I made a personal rule that on bad days when everything seems to go wrong and I say I can't wait to get home and have a drink I purposefully DO NOT drink. I don't want to fall into the habit of reaching for alcohol to sooth my stress. I have seen what addiction can do to family and friends and I want to be conscious of what I consume. Keep up the great work you are doing. And know that we all love you and are her for you. ❤
Thank you ! I appreciate that!
I'm following your lead. I'm a middle-aged guy who did 20 years in the Army. Drinking became natural and whiskey became an genuine fascination. Now I need to manage my consumption. I locked my goodies up and my wife pops it open on weekends according to a schedule. This is preventing me from casual sipping throughout the week. So far so good.
That is a good plan. Glad to see you taking steps to take care of your health!
Excellent video and really appreciate the full transparency on how the hobby could impact us all.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Topic Randy! Great topic and one that is needed and should be discussed and recognized within your local ring of friends so that one doesn't get too far into drinking, in a negative way. Great message.
Thank you!
This was an awesome topic.
thank you for being transparent. I have been affected by having too many drinks during the week and had a massive wake up call about my sleep habits and my stress levels that came back to drinking before going to bed. I have since stopped drinking during the week as well and have noticed a big difference.
Thank you again for the content. Stay strong, and sober.
Thank you for the encouragement.
I drink once a month maybe twice.
Awesome! No chance of a problem with that.
Really valuable! Thank you for being “vulnerable” about this topic. I am not at alcoholic level but also consume more than is optimally healthy. Best episode yet!
Thank you
Thank you for this, truly. May I ask what your bp was while you were tracking?
I started at 155/110. I hover around 115/80 now.
@@BourbonRealTalk sounds like me just now.
@@Amk4792 Have you ever tried tracking yourself to see how it affects you?
Great content Randy ! Information that is very important ! As a relative newby to Bourbon I 've been tasting alot of different brands / finding mash bills I enjoy ! No your limits and stay within it is always a wise choice . Thanks again !
Great advice! Thanks for watching.
I've been doing versions of keto/Carnivore with fasting now for about 5 years now about 2 or 3 years ago I stopped drinking whiskey...I wasn't even drink that much...Now if I drink it would be like literally just a drop to get the taste of a whiskey I hadn't tried before...If someone had an Old Elk Wheated or Pappy or Weller's or something I'd take a micro dose on the tongue...Coffee, sparkling water the closest thing I get to alcohol is kombucha made with hops....and I barely even drink that....
Not the life for me, but I respect the discipline. Cheers!
Thanks for the episode. First time tuning in and I really needed this. I feel like what you described is my situation to a T as well.. I’ve been wanting to cut back to weekends only as well.
You got this! Try some flavored water. I even use a rocks glass and squeeze some lime. I have been SUPER hydrated lately 😂
Dude, so great to hear!!! I enjoy drinking and exploring bottles. I need to drink less days a week for sure.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful video!!! I myself just enjoy the taste of bourbon and love tasting all types. I sip a little just about everyday but at a low amount because of the effects, but only if there was a way to drink More without the effects (never be a way). Watching your video again makes myself reevaluate and consider deeply the importance of self responsibility, self care🙏. Hugs because we love you to!
Thank you! I hope this helps everyone feel inspired to focus on health first.
Thank you for this video- yet again confirming why I love this channel.
Thank you!
It’s difficult sometimes, like you I enjoy a glass maybe a few times a week and I also workout during the week. Thanks for talking about this, health is of the upmost importance! Keep up the good work!
I want everyone around for a long time!
Thank you for this.
You are welcome!
Appreciate you're transparency on this brother! This something I think about a lot. I never want to get close to the alcoholic stage, but I enjoy bourbon so much it's hard not to have it every night! Keep up the great content!
Everyone needs to make their own choice, but I hope to at least get people thinking about it so it doesn't just thoughtlessly progress.
Thank you for sharing and providing all this great information Randy! Keep up the good fight and connecting people.
Will do!
TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH
Mark Twain
Thank you for providing the content in this episode. Although, it's not unique to cut back, from time to time - it is genuinely helpful every time this topic comes up, as a gentle reminder that there are real heath concerns with this hobby. I love the bottle reviews and comparisons (blinds), but appreciate the community-wide nudge towards healthy habits.
Please keep the content coming, but please do not sacrifice your own wellbeing. Cheers!
Thank you. I will!
Recently had a checkup and I’ve cut back also due to higher blood pressure cholesterol etc I’m 41 and fairly active.. I like you just slowly developed a habit of grabbing a sip here and there it does add up. I totally agree with the weekend drinks and special occasions. Cheers 🥃🥃
Glad you were able to get that check up before it became a bigger problem. Cheers!
Great episode, right there with you just decided to move my drinking to weekends only, I was already on no bourbon to til the weekend but I was having 2 glasses of red wine per night
That is technically inside the guidelines depending on what you drink on the weekend. Glad I at least got you thinking about it.
LOVED this episode! As you said " not the most fun topic", however, I say it was "the most important topic". I'm not going to repeat everything you said, but basically, I had almost exactly the same symptoms as you, "muscle-memory" was spot on, etc... This episode was fantastic, harsh, & necessary.
I'm currently on a self-imposed dry month, hopefully can extend it to 2 months. Just for health benefits. After that, it'll be in moderation.
Keep up the fantastic work, your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Good for you! When my doctor asked me if I could stop drinking I said "No, it is my job". Pretty easy to cut back significantly and still get my "job" done, plus some fun on the weekend. Gives me something to look forward to. If you pay attention you may notice in videos that I am not giving tasting notes or doing a blind I have a glass of whiskey in my hand, but I don't drink it 😂
I️ love bourbon but it has caused some issues for me including elevated heart rate, I️ now have issues with sleep apnea, I️ have elevated liver enzyme, bloating and water retention, and high blood pressure. I️ still have a pour or two during the week but I️ have cut way way back. bourbon/whisky is enjoyable but you HAVE to drink it responsibly because it will without a doubt have negative downsides on your health if you over do it.
Oh man, so sorry to hear about your recent anxiety issues! I should receive a travel glencairn set today from your shop, so doing my best to help support your positive message. I've actually only had three drinks over the past month. My fiance has been working very long days and just naturally stopped drinking, which resulted in me not drinking as I like the social aspect. Have to admit my sleep pattern has been better. My tolerance has plummeted, which I didn't expect.
Same with me. I have also lost a little over 10 lbs.
@@BourbonRealTalk Wow, congrats!
Love you too man. You have a new subscriber.
A friend sent this over to me. We happen to be taking a break for some of the reasons you pointed out and the timing of us seeing this is uncanny.
Thanks for the sub! Glad it was helpful.
I'm not always a fan of your videos, but this is the best one you have ever done!
I am glad you enjoyed it. Sorry to disappoint on the other videos. Any useful feedback?
@@BourbonRealTalk Don't be sorry. Thousands of others have enjoyed them. I will say that I would love to see you feature craft whiskey more on your channel.
@@jdickinson1977 I am planning some sort of a blind with a crowd sourced list of everyone's favorite craft whiskey. Some of my favorites are Leiper's Fork, Frey Ranch, Ironroot, and Anita's Choice. Not sure when I will film it, but it is on the list.
Drinking too much? No.
Buying too much? Yes! I have to stop reflexively buying and passing on some allocated bottles.
The newer people who don't have those options will thank you. Cheers!
@@BourbonRealTalk There should be a FOMO 12 Step Program.
Should also cut down on TH-cam, LOL! Everything will be going fine, and then I see some new bourbon review.
@@jakeizlove 😂
Responsible and depressing. You've described most of us...Good stuff, again.
😂 Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we all need to take care of our health.
Thanks for the useful info. It’s definitely a serious concern. I frequently think about consumption while proceeding on the bourbon journey. I try to stick to weekends too & use a jigger when pouring whiskey for cocktails and just neat.
That is a good plan. Thanks for watching!
Serious topic, I have to say that not going for yearly physical isn't smart. I had a relative that never went to the doctor and when he did have a problem and went to a doctor, the doctor couldn't believe that a 60 year old had no prior medical records he could compare the recent tests to.
I have one now and think others should too.
Thank you for this I needed this. I'm going to try the no alcohol during the week.
Good luck! Try some mocktails if you get too much of an urge.
This is an issue with which most of us who enjoy drinking have to cope, and I think at some point in our drinking adventures find we over imbibe. I try to drink only on weekends and special occasions, but find that to be a guideline instead of a hard and fast rule. Moderating my drinking has lead to much more enjoyment of whiskey, better health and much better sleep. As always, great video.
Thank you!
It's a great topic love it thank you Randy we all have this issue lol
Glad it was helpful!
This is one of the best whiskey-tube videos i have watched lately. this topic has applied to me. i do find myself pouring 1 oz. at a time and usually no more than 2 a night....but those days that friends are over things get off the rails. i imposed a "no bourbon before the street lights are on" policy and it's worked pretty well for the last 6 months. drinking is fun. collecting bottles is fun......alcoholism leads to things that aren't fun. a sincere thanks from a fan. keep it up. cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it!
