I'm more inclined to feel melancholy when drinking whiskey, but that could partially be the music I generally listen to when sipping whisky on the porch. Drinking any kind of alcohol has never left me feeling aggressive. Stupid, yes. Aggressive, no.

I'd be more interested in the mood data on men who properly sip whiskey versus those who shoot it down their throats. :)

I become a mean drunk driver when I drink Scotch and play GTA V.  Does that count?
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Dunno, if the goal is to get drunk or drink a lot I prefer bourbon or rum. And I am a happy drunk. Matter of fact, I have taken a really hostile view of late to angry drunks and won't be around them when they are sober. We saw your true nature and it wasn't pretty.

I like how they lay blame on the drink, not the mood or predisposition of the drinker being a root cause.

It is true what they say: the mean drunks drink hard liquor

I am NOT a mean Irish drunk when I drink the hard stuff, and I'll fight any of you MF'ers that say otherwise.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I think one's mood may affect the choice of alcohol, not so much the other way around.

Yeah, carts before horses and all that there.

Yeah, AFFECT / EFFECT. ✔

I'm suspecting there's a new Prohibition movement growing in the U.S.  I wonder if this "study" is part of an upcoming Temperance drive.  Apart from MADD's constant nibbling down the blood alcohol limits, there've been some fresh ads on TV pressing for "safe drinking."  If I can remember what outfit that is, I'll post it.

I don't often drink, but when i do, my choice is typically dark rum or bourbon. Don't give me Irish Whiskey. Every time I've had it, I wanted to fight everyone I saw.
