I'm not talkin about how I don't want to look snobby because I'm drinking a quality beverage. I mean that for whatever reason if I'm drunk off some gin and/or vodka I'm sometimes sociable but act even more condescending than usual, whereas if I'm drunk off some whiskey I'm much less of a cynical condescending asshole, and I find people tend to prefer that attitude. I also find that 7-10 Tanqueray & tonics gives me a more annoying hangover than the same number of 7&7's. Not to say I don't still like me my gin & tonics and vodka martinis, but lately the 7&7 has been working well for me so I'm stickin with it for the time being.
