Sometimes I can go for a few days without any alcohol, but then I 'reward' myself with a glass ... a beer. It is very very hard just not to have those. Think of coffee in the morning. I have like 3 cups. Well some people say this is bad thing but nowhere are there coffeeholics meetings. Alcoholism can sneek on you really quickly ... and this is especially worse when you enjoy the taste of alcohol, especially whisky (burbon, etc.) as it has distinctive taste. I tried the nonalcoholic beers. Those would work if I did not like the taste of real alcohol. Judy

As for all you others who say you don't drink for the taste, I love the taste. I started drinking for the taste, THEN became addicted. I was thinking today how I wanted a good (or bad) but really just any glass of whiskey today but knew I couldn't. I wished I had something for the taste but that wouldn't get me drunk. Shamick,

My dad is a big whiskey/bourbon drinker and he is going to rollover laughing when I send this to him. I wonder what the congener levels are? I imagine it goes through some sort of filtering process but since congeners contribute to hangovers http://www.cure-hangovers.com/congeners.html I wonder if this stuff can still make you sick if you drink enough?

Is every day 3 4 glasses alcoholism? I love the taste of whisky, beer does not do the same for me. I am not drinking to get drank, but obviously after 3 or 4 (or 6 sometimes) glasses, one gets tipsy. The problem is as I see it, that there is a thin line between healthy hobby and 'normality' and ... being an alcoholic. Most maybe not, maybe you right MAM

I do not believe that temptation is one of them. Most alcoholics do not drink whiskey because they love the taste ... they drink it for *alcohol*. Hence the term, alcoholic. Shamick,

Some things just belong together, like Starskey and Hutch, Simon and Garfunkle, whiskey and saying stupid stuff you'll regret one day. I suppose people will drink this while enjoying an unlit cigar? I thought decaffeinated coffee was silly, but this is off the hook! This is as ridiculous as fat-free bacon or sex-free rock and roll.
