don't usually mix stuff with sweet drinks or anything like that. If I had to actually choose something

to sip on regularly, my number three option would always be probably whiskey. I used to drink whiskey

all the time and I think I kind of swallowed it for myself. I was drinking the cheapest whiskey that

you could possibly buy. My bottle of choice when I was in my early 20s was early times. I don't know
