Uisge Beatha

Some of us don’t actually need reasons to partake of the water of life. For those of you who are a little more reluctant, I offer this as a service.
A sample:
4. Whiskey can help prevent cancer.
5. Drinking whiskey can lower your risk of having a stroke.
9. Winston Churchill drank whiskey and water for breakfast…and lead a nation through World War II. [and Winston was a real mensch]
14. There are over 5,000 types of single-malt whiskey, and they’re not going to try themselves. [I own at least 30 at last count and they are all exquisite]
There are 18 other reasons (at least).
Whether your chose tipple is Hebridean mouthwash, Kentucky Bourbon, Tennessee Rye, Canadian, Irish, Japanese, or some other essence of malted grain, you can surely find something that fits your taste.
I’ll leave you with a pearl of wisdom from a truly great American:
Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.
