In a blog post devoted to his favorite Scotch, the atheist Richard Carrier writes:
| “ | I often philosophize about the excellence of Scotch…
Indeed, the taste and feel of good liquor is the only reason to drink it. Getting tipsy or blasted drunk is just a bonus... Anytime you spend the night drinking heavily, chug a tall glass of water before going to bed. Literally, chug the whole thing. Tall glass. Top to bottom... Be excellent to each other. And party on. Smartly.[1] |
” |
