Get me something with a lil gin, and I’m a happy camper.

My eldest drinks very little, but for whatever reason gin drinks are the ones they are most interested in. I like gin in low quantities, but I think it's the most distinct clear, so I'm surprised that it's the one that they leans towards.

Definitely lets you know it’s gin. 

I don’t mind a brown liquor, but my palate isn’t refined, so there’s a bit of guilt having something real good (if it’s a friend’s)

Normally, I’m a bourbon guy, but if you throw a Bombay sapphire with some cheese, stuffed olives in front of me, I will definitely join in.

Yeah, how dare the highly intelligent prioritize evidence, making logical sense, and objective facts/truth! 

How insensitive of them!

The author doesn't cite any studies or even anecdotal personal experiences.  She just asserts her points throughout.  Which makes me wonder.....where is the evidence?  Asserting your points without anything to back them up....that doesn't make sense.  I mean, truly, how she feels doesn't matter if it's not true.  In fact I'd say she's overreacting right now.  Because it's entirely possible that what she's saying is actually not true.  We need to buttress our opinions with facts, it's really simple, and everyone knows that.  I read articles like these and I swear, people don't think anymore.  The fact she spilled so much digital ink on this makes me think she's just too sensitive about the whole thing.

Curiously, I just finished a bottle of Bombay Sapphire and replaced with with a Costco branded bottle, which I like more. (But I mostly drink bourbon when I'm pouring liquor.)

[FearlessF]

Wish I had a Costco nearby

Good to know.   I will give it a shot.  (No pun intended)
