Sipping drinks, I guess if I was more of a connoisseur of fine booze then I'd worry about it. Kinda why I gave up on the super expensive gin because anything from regular Tanqueray on up I can't tell the difference when mixed with tonic, and why I don't bother with anything pricier than a 7&7 like this one idiot I know who drinks a Maker's Mark & 7 instead of 7&7.
why do you care about being a snobby drunk? I wont drink cheap shit, and it isnt cause I want to impress people with my extensive knowledge of expensive spirits, its because much like the anything else you get what you pay for. I agreet hough with mixed drinks it is pointless to rock out an 8 dollar bombay saphire and tonic instead of just a cheaper gin, but for gods sake I cant stand Seagrams 7 for some reason...its like a hangover/gut rot in a bottle.
