How many of you....?

[Whiskey Willie]

How many of you take a pull straight from the bottle occasionally? I must admit that I do. Every once in a while I just don't feel like a full or regular pour of any kind. I'll pick a bottle, and take a small tug just to get a small taste and wet my whistle. I hesitated a little in starting this thread because I don't want to be offensive or gross. I just figure I can't be the only one out here that does this. A little help from the crowd please. Joe

PS. I only do this with bottles that only have a little left, or that only I will ever drink from.

I'll admit it...Yeah, I pound the last finger or two from WT bottles that are nearly empty.

Guilty as charged.

You mean we are supposed to drink this stuff out of glasses?

I do it once in awhile, usually if I want to taste something and there are no glasses around or the last little bit in the bottle.

Only at someone else's house.

J/K, not a habit of mine.

[cigarnv]

Not yet.... I either find the time to enjoy a pour or pass ... never had the urge for just a swig...

[StraightBoston]

Yup -- pre-sports ritual.

[theDon]

Just when my in-laws are over. A hidden bottle in the bathroom cabinet works great.

Oh yeah and on a few camping trips. Hasn't anyone ever thrown the cap of a fifth in the fire and you pass the bottle till it's gone?

[sotnsipper]

If there is not enough for a regular pour left in the bottle, I usually just down it from the bottle. Did it last night actually.....

[PhilsFan]

I used to do that back in my college days, but the look and smell of the bourbon in the glass is a great part of enjoying it too, so I usually have mine in a glencairn glass.
