Why not drink. It's not like it's going to kill him.
I'm a type II diabetic (controlled), I have a bad back (the surgery in 2003 to fix it has worn off) and the rotator cuffs in both shoulders are torn. When my doctor asked what I was doing to alleviate the pain, I told him two ounces of whiskey or rum once a day before bedtime. He said that probably is better than any pain killer he could prescribe.
What's the worst that could happen? I'm not looking much beyond my next urology appointment.... And I usually have a smile on my face (except the morning I have a visit with the vitreo-retinal specialist)

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” ~ Dr. Hunter Stockton Thompson
No righteous person who goes to the grave with no emotional, spiritual or physical scars has lived life to its fullest. This doesn't include those who are inherently evil or criminal.
@motie2 Because you decide to live the life you have and drink and smoke? Hence “Phuket”, do what you like🙂 And, yes I know it’s correct pronunciation, but it’s not as fun😉
Was wasting time listening to this drunk on youtube make 8 different drinks in memory of Jimmy Buffett. He started talking about how the Painkiller was patented by Pusser Rum and no one could make the drink without Pusser Rum and call it a Painkiller. My first thought was how much did they pay the official to actually patent or copyright a freaking drink.
Anyway, I opened the refrigerator and had all the ingredients except Pusser Rum. So I made a Not a Painkiller using a barrel aged rum distilled in New Orleans.
It is sort of like a pina colada except not frozen and not as sweet and creamy.
I paired it with a bowl of Rattray's Caribbean Dream.
It’s been a week of discovery. I don’t like spiced rum. I do like a good dark rum and I was just introduced to Three Roll Estate Dark Rum, distilled in Baton Rouge from Louisiana sugarcane. Great sipping rum.
Then I was introduced to St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram ( made by infusing rum with allspice berries). Google it for more info.
Now mix about 1/2 ounce of Allspice Dram with two ounces of dark rum and you have something better than any spice rum you can buy. Mix 1/2 ounce of Allspice Dram and Louisiana Rice Whiskey and you have something that taste like Egg Nogg without the egg and the creamy Nogg.
Our oldest son likes rum and he does like some of the spiced rum. I made him a glass of dark rum with the Allspice Dram and he said I just ruined spiced rums for him. Now he is just going to buy the Dram.
Getting close to the end😢. George T. Stagg Barrel Proof 141.8 proof…straight up. This is my first drink of spirits *cough* *cough* 😬. I wish I would have bought a case of this. Zum wohl!

Yes sir, it's good stuff. I also recommend 1920 at 115 proof prohibition style.
Goes well with Boswell Christmas Cookie.
With all your health issues should you be drinking?
Yep, I've had very old Barton but not orban. I will look for it.

And apparently his doctor knows, too.

I can't mount a logical argument to either of you. In the end, it really isn't any of my business.
Sounds like a trip to Thailand may be in order….Phuket to be precise😬
WTF? Phuket? Why?

i guess I should say, “D’oh!”
I get it now……

I make a mean Dim ‘n’ Drizzly.
I concur. Spiced rum is not rum.

Interesting🤔
Not for beginners 😂
Kraken dark Rum, cider and a cinnamon stick along with GLP Lagonda in a Pride. Watching college football, Wake Forest vs. Notre Dame.
”Awesome”….well for everything except the Latakia blend and football😬
