Scots-Irish here, myself, but I hear what you're saying. So I get a double-dose of drunken bastardness! I'm enjoying some wine right now. My dad loved single malt Scotch (NEVER on the rocks, always straight-up!). I like it myself that way, the occasional times I still have some (though my brother thinks it tastes like crap!!). I probably sound like an alkie now, but moderation of course!! Hahaha!
