Me…. Never… I’m shocked
I guess everybody has a different taste of whisky or whiskey from their own tongue.

DOTD! What are y'all drinking on today.

I never did get the hang of bourbon, but it's been a long time since I last tried it. Back then, it seemed like drinking cheap perfume. But I'm willing to admit I may have been wrong, so I've been meaning to revisit it for a while. I want to try out some of the Japanese offerings first though, they seem to be well regarded.
In the meantime, tonight's prandial is one of my go-to malts...
...But getting expensive now. Horrified to see this retailing at Dan's for $245 now.

Blame government on the inflation and tax on alcohol.But getting expensive now. Horrified to see this retailing at Dan's for $245 now.
I have got this bottle maybe 4 years ago for Christmas. Got it for under $100. At the time normal price was $135. Today the price is shockingI never did get the hang of bourbon, but it's been a long time since I last tried it. Back then, it seemed like drinking cheap perfume.

Yes it's more than I can justify now. Used to be a special treat if I could find a deal.I never did get the hang of bourbon, but it's been a long time since I last tried it.

OK, this is mine for tonight. And I don't care if people think I'm an alcoholic.
As I get older, I find I have a hard time caring about a lot of things. Fortunately, I don't care. 
I've heard from several people that rums are worth exploring, but I have yet to venture into that realm. I'd say "one day, maybe", but I suspect it would take more than one. Then there's tequila. I've enjoyed the ones I've tried, but I gather it's almost as rich a field as whisky.
Back in the distant island whence I came, we're all born with two livers, but unfortunately we still only have the one lifetime.

I have started exploring Bourbon.
The usual stuff...Jack Daniels, Jim Beam (Black), Buffalo Trace, and Old Crow (my new favourite).
The Old Crow is quite a different taste...almost 'delicate' flavour. Very nice!
The Buffalo Trace is not yet opened (early Xmas present from me to me).
I'm quite liking the change in taste/flavours...but I do still like a good Rum.

Finished working outside, so earned a cold one. 8% ABV means it will probably be the only beer I have tonight, but what a way to go. Big, bitter, hoppy monster that just thrashes your tastebuds. Cheers!
The hazy version: a little lighter (6% ABV) and not as bitter. More of a thirst quencher, just as delicious as it's forebear.

What in heaven is this bloody piss beer

Real beer. Not like that cats piss you call beer in Oz.
Hazy, NEIPA and a few other interesting styles are enjoying a bit of a moment in the sun here, and richly deserved. Not that I don't enjoy a traditional balls-o'brass full-boar hoppy real IPA brewed as it was originally meant to be.
You're right though, Foster's and 4X do not qualify as beer in any human tongue. They're not even any good for slug traps.
