Yes, I quite enjoy it. I like the flavor of most whiskey, but I don't get drunk anymore. I don't even really get buzzed, because I don't drink very much. A few sips, the equivalent of about a shot or sometimes two, through the day. I buy a fifth every 2 weeks, and it lasts about that long, sometimes I have one more fill of my flask left when I get the new bottle, sometimes I've been out for a couple days, depending on how the two weeks have gone.
I have been buzzed maybe once in the last year, haven't been anything I'd call drunk in maybe 3-4 years. I feel lucky that I can keep it under control, I've known too many who couldn't.
Wild Turkey 101 is my daily. Started because it was the least expensive drinkable (for me) whiskey available around here, but continues because I actually like it better than many of the more expensive bottles.

I drink occasionally like when I'm home relaxing or if I'm in a situation where others are drinking(those situations are almost never). I almost only drink beer & I limit myself to one or two. However I have some whisky that was given to me a while ago which is pretty strong(at least to me) so I mix it with half a cup of Coke or Pepsi & I sip on it for an hour. I only have a little of that left thou. I might be able to get some more for free but not sure. Someone in my girlfriend's family works at a local brewery & he gets various things free. I tried some butterscotch whisky from there that was pretty good & I probably could drink a bit & not have to mix it. Maybe I'll try hinting around & seeing if I can get that or any other stuff for free. Otherwise I may be buying a 6 pack of beer in a few weeks & that will last me a couple months.
