The water of life!

   

I like them all. At least, the ones I've tried.

   

Eh, I need something that won't give me a headache the next day.

Clontarf 1014 was awesome in this regard. Glenfiddich 12yo not so much.

   

Glenfiddich 18y and surprisingly, Alberta Premium Rye, never bite me back. But I rarely have more than a glass.

7y old Cuban Rum punched me in the face though, after only 2 glasses!

   

My idea of a 'glass' of whiskey or brandy is on par with the same volume of orange juice most people have for breakfast.

About 6oz is the perfect pour for me.

   

A 'Glass' for me would be about 3 fingers in a coffee cup. If I kept OJ in the house, I'd drink it by the litre.

I do drink grapefruit juice by the liter, but it's so hard to find white grapefruit anymore. And Rye and Ginger or Whisky sour are my favourite cocktails.

   

That's a shitload of sugar .. I love grapefruit, but unfortunately....drug interactions. I do have a Fresca once or twice a month.

   

Ditto. I have heart medication I'm taking and can't have grapefruit again for another three to five years at which point I should be fine.

   

Grapefruit is why I switched to a mostly vegetarian diet, so I could get off Statins and get back on Grapefruit!

Nothing as good as a freshly sliced white grapefruit. Except, good whisky!

I wonder if grapefruit makes a good whisky sour. . . .
