I can't stand Whiskey so it matters not what they put on the bottle.

Are you a G&T or vodka girl?

Bourbon

Bourbon IS whiskey.

It's BOURBON Whiskey and tastes nothing like Scotch Whiskey, which is what JW is.

Yes.

What you meant to say was "I can't stand Scotch".

alcohol is for the "inferior man".

you can create an awesome life , push hard and be all that you can be , have discipline, set goals and feel the "good chemicals" of achievement

OR

you can "try to scam those chemicals " by using a bottle of toxin to cause their release.

dont cheat at games
dont cheat in relationships and
dont cheat your brains biochemistry.

learn to put in the hard yards and then you'll have the smile of a guy who "earnt " it
not the fake smile of a guy who "tricked his brain" .

as for appealing to women, my general impression is women aged 30 to 60 are becoming big drinkers.

they dont have masculine men in their lives
they dont have good relationships with their kids
they rely on chocalate, facebook and alcohol to "cope"
to "cope" with this "harsh world".

thats not fruitful. Wink

a guy who "tricked his brain" .

Tricked???
I drowned it, gassed it, drugged it and kicked the livin shite out of it, but I never managed to "trick" it.
I could get supremely wasted to a level of professional, world class intoxication, that few on this planet could keep up with. I made Keith Richards look like a pussy, but still I could not trick it, self awareness always lurked there staring back at me in disgust and shame, while I laughed at it.
Sad, but true.
Alcohol however is a young man's indulgence, at my age I need partake in more gentlemanly pursuits. The poor old body can not do what a 20 or 30 year old could get away with. I social drink, but have not been drunk for several decades.

alcohol
gambling
facebook "likes"
cocaine
amphetamine

all cause a release of dopamine.

dopamine exists in the brain as the reward chemical that rewards you when you achieve a goal.

so, from evolutionary times, you might see a deer and start hunting it down. and each time you see it a little closer you get a little hit of dopamine.
and so it motivates you to keep going (hunting the deer is rewarding because you are feeling better and better as you approach your goal) and then you get the deer, you get fed, you crack open a big smile as the guy who "earnt it".

but hunting a deer ( or pursuing any worthwhile goal ) is hard work
and humans are LAZY.
they dont want to get that hit of pleasure chemicals by running a marathon
they dont want to get that hit of pleasure chemicals by having to be a quality man and attracting a quality woman and having quality sex.

not when they can get it from a needle or a tablet or a bottle .

theres always the right (hard) way to do things and the wrong (easy) way to do things.

and they are rarely the same and most people will choose the "trickery ' every time Wink

I have always loved it when peole make this argument, because it shows how their mind has been trained by religious ideology that teaches us we are born impure, and need to purify ourselves through suffering, to sit with wee jeebus.

Even when they don't know that's what they're doing, you have to love how something is automatically superior, because it is harder.

Comparing dopamine to real drugs, you know what I mean, the "fun" ones, is like comparing your hyundai i30 to a classic ferrari, sure they will both get you from A to B, but we all know which one is going to be a whole lot more fun.
I appreciate "doing" stuff, I was a keen surfer, and climber, when I was younger, both extremely exhilarating and good dopamine triggers, but if you think that is the same as top flite drug experiences, then you sir are speaking from a position of never having done it.
Never doing it, is by the way, the position I endorse for everybody else. I have always said that people should never even try it, because if they really like it, then they are hooked for life, and it is an extremely expensive and demanding lifestyle, that very, very, few can maintain.
Just sayng, do not pontificate about what it's like when you clearly don't.
Like the young fellow in the "she's a goer" sketch in Monty Python, you inevitably have to ask, "what's it like?"
