It's not their fault you're dumb enough to drink at work.

>>80728170
>Jameson

I'm sorry Mr. Anon, but I think I'll take my suitcase full of money elsewhere.

>>80729467
Jameson is one of the best.

>>80729492
It serves. But if you think that it's one of the best you are a pleb.

Though I must admit, I'm a bourbon man myself.

i think that was a good bit

>>80729629
Bourbon a shit. Single malts only, Scotch is the best though.

>>80728170
While Jameson is indeed shit, some whisky like Chivas or Old Parr is Elder God tier

Drinking whisky with ice is the most barbarian thing a man can do, and those who engage on it should get holocausted

>>80730212
Four you

>>80730285
Isn't Chivas a blend?

>>80729858

>>80728449
Wow, what a cunt

>>80730379
So is Jameson

>>80730512
Yeah, and blends are shit.

>>80728449

I've had a "working lunch" very recently.
Not like I was driving. Every non-driver had a drink or two...it was encouraged.

>Not knowing how to unwind

I used to take my job home with me. Unwinding mid day once in a great while was not uncommon.

>>80730527
Nor necessarily, m'amigo

>>80728449
Seriously, every place I've worked has had alcohol in it. Not the Mad Men personal bar shit but bottles of wine, champagne, whiskey, gin, absinthe it's pretty normal.

What do they just fire you in America over anything?

>>80730611
Most of the time though. You're better off drinking single malts.

>>80729492
>one of the best scottish potato-farmer's pisswaters

>>80728449
They were probably just looking for a reason to fire you.

Protip: don't keep liquor at your desk unless you have tenure and/or are valuable to your bosses.

>>80730692
The best reason not to be religious?

Someone find my fedora.

>>80730285
>Chivas

nice try reddit.

>>80730665
Jameson is Irish pisswater.

>>80729492
Anything labeled Jameson outside of Ireland is total shit.

And nobody in Ireland drinks the local shit either.

>>80730798
Same fucking shit. Whiskey is trash, only pathetic alcoholics who burned their tastebuds and tryhard fedora tippers who try to copy Don Draper drink this shit.

>>80728449
>have glass liquor bottles to warmly welcome guests and potential clients
>just drink all of it the first day

The same with my M&M's bowl

>>80730627

I'm a good deal older than the average poster... I think.

But my whole working life I've been amazed both at what people get fired over and what they don't get fired over.

>>80730867
I bet the only thing you enjoy is inhaling your own farts

>>80730657
The market is full of awful single malts these days because of pleb yuppies with too much money who see single malt and think it means quality.

>>80730714
not him but it is essentially just watering down your whiskey. keep it in the freezer like a normal person.

>>80730971
That's bullshit and you know it. The established distilleries are making the same quality, and everyone does research before they buy if they're spending any sort of money.

>>80728170
>drinking on the job

>>80731011
water activates activates a entirely different flavour in your whiskey you goddamn moron. not that i would expect redditors to know anything about palate.

>everyone does research before they buy if they're spending any sort of money
I think you overestimate the stupidity of the American consumer. Obviously laphroaig and glenmorangie haven't forgotten how to make scotch, but my sister's boyfriend has brought me some godawful cheap single malts.

What's a good Scotch lads?

>>80731065
Yes? What exactly is wrong with having a drink at lunch? I am pretty surprised this is apparently frowned upon. Plenty of business lunches and dinners are done with a drink or two.

Nobody is saying get shitfaced, and one drink is not going to effect anyone.

>>80731011
Thats the exact opposite of how you do it lol. You're supposed to water isn't down with a splash of cold water because ice cools it too much.

>>80731240
Anything not blended

>>80731236
Is there such a thing as an American single malt? I know countries other than Scotland do them.

>>80731126
Shut up you fucking pedophile

>>80731380
Single malt is most popular with scotch, but single malt bourbon and other whiskeys certainly exist.

>>80728170
take what you're given you ungrateful fuck

>>80731576
I don't think single malt bourbon is possible.

>>80731240
only fun whisky i've had in years was ardbeg 10y

>>80728170
Pissed you didn't get a Smirnoff Ice, you fucking nerd pussy?

Only redditors would dull their senses on purpose

This is a common misconception. The age of consent is only 18 in about 10 states.

>>80731678
The ones with lots of alcoholics?

>>80731620
You're correct, but other american whisky can be single malt it's just not common.

>>80730285
Chivas Regal were originally struggling to sell their product.

Then they came up with a brilliant idea. They upped the price considerably. Suddenly sales increased exponentially because people assumed that because this product was expensive, it must be better than the others.

It's not and it's a testament to their gullibility of most people.

>>80730257
>>80730527
>if it's not single malt, it's shit
Oldfag here. I used to be like that.
You'll learn to apreciate both burboun and blends in a few years. It's all good, in their own way.

>>80731675

t. Brain damaged alcoholic insisting his hands always shook

>>80731807
Bourbon is the way to go for most people. If I were a billionaire I'd drink scotch, but it's just not worth drinking mid or low shelf scotch imo.

Chinks are buying up all the good scotch.

>>80731783
That's been a business strategy for ages. It only works if nobody notices though. Either way it's not specific to whisky.

>le drinking liquor out of glasses in the office

Whiskey always gave me heart burn
I usually just drink Vodka

>>80731807
Blends don't bother me too much, but American whisky tastes awful to me. The corn is horrible. Especially if you try two different ones.

>>80732032
Shit, what I mean by two different ones is a single malt scotch and an American whisky.

>>80731970
The worst meme is glass jugs that hold the booze. Its just an easy excuse not to show a bottle

>>80729492
Jameson is good, but let's not kid ourselves. I've had much better, but Jameson is the best bang for the buck whiskey. I don't feel like spending 5-10 dollars for every glass of whiskey.

>>80731634
I've had more fun with craft rums

I've actually seen people who do this in their house so that the bar doesn't clash with their interior design aesthetic. I assume people might do it in offices for the same reason.

That's a comedy show. They're trying to paint Alec Baldwin's character as an anachronistic charicature of old school business culture.

>>80732207
Fair enough, this show is just plain awful in every way though.

>>80730627
American here. I work at a code monkey factory and we usually have our own stash of booze, everyone does. Not to mention they serve free(piss) beer on tap where I work.

>>80732317
>>that's for wine

Wine, whisky, brandy, gin, decanters exist for many drinks.

>>80732317
They're usually for whiskey or brandy.

>>80732316
Put something nice in, and buy something cheap as well.

Drink 1-2 glasses of your good drink, then switch to paint-thinner when you get into your session.

>>80728449
Drinking is just mildly underground in American offices.

>>80732279
Of course I've seen them, movies and tv would have you believe everyone in America uses one

>drinking anything but water

That's because everyone in American tv and movies are rich.

I'm a fan of personal freedom.
Having said that, I don't drink during work hours because it makes me too drowsy.
Having a glass of whiskey with the boss would be cool though.
