I’ve been getting back into whisk(e)y. Used to really be into back in 2010, when you could call up a store and find basically all the whiskies people clamor over today like it was no big deal. Traveling for the holidays and stopped into a gas station liquor store near my in-laws. This pricing reminds me why I hate all this.

Wtf, I won’t pay more than $80 for it. That’s what I paid 5-6 years ago.

It’s more fun to fun the sun $50’s that your buddies will love in a bounce taste test. Throw them all in decanters and prove to folks there’s absolutely outstanding juice out there, radially available without the chase or breaking the bank.

These prices are leading me more to rum lol.

Ladies, how do you take care of yourself when you fly? Specifically as it relates to skin care and bloating. My body is super temperamental so when I travel anywhere, my face breaks out like crazy, including painful cysts. My whole body swells up with about 10lbs of bloat. As a result, I just feel miserable the whole time and when I get home. I drink water but is there anything I can do to prevent these things?
