Maybe it's just me. Too much of anything (which is often not too much for my friends) takes a heavy toll on me. Of course cheap booze is worse, but I've had a terrible morning after enjoying too much Macallan 18 year and the good stuff goes down that much easier!

Well I'm not suffering the bad hangovers, must be down purely to the single malt and a wee splash of good highland water.

This conversation made me think of this. We loved this show when I was in college.

The water you were using must have been off.

I once asked an experienced Siberian Russian camper about water purification in Siberia. He said "50% Wodka."

I guess I'll have to try again. Maybe with some melt water fresh from a glacier?

Aye, but you don't want too chilled for the whisky.
