New Years Resolution

[Masset1982]

I've decided to drink less this year, I was having a pour everyday of the week for the past two month. It's been two days since I've had my last pour, next one will Friday, I'm gonna open a bottle of Henry Mc Kenna 10 BIB. Again, best wishes I y'all  for 2017.

 

Will.

I will still try anything once, but my tolerance for random purchases is at an all time low.  If I don't know I will like it, I try it at a bar or a friend's house first.

Those LEs are hard to turn down because they come available so rarely, but I am getting better at it.

 

It is indeed a struggle but I am getting better at it too. Really, it's true! OK, maybe a little better... 

 

I spent part of the holidays organizing the inventory as I had lost track of purchases in recent months. It was a little scary, even for me so it might not be a bad thing to cut back a little. 

 

On the plus side I found a few things I had forgotten about and I learned that only about 64% of the various whiskies are open!

You should open however many bottles it takes to get to a clean 65% open.

As long as that doesn't take more than an hour or two...  : )

Sadly it probably would. Currently it is a mere 64.1221374%. For a clean 65% I would have to buy 5 more bottles and then open 9 more.

 

But I will get there! Maybe tomorrow...

 

Of course that's just whiskey. If I figure in rum, brandy, tequila, mezcal, gin and various and sundry amari I may already be past 65% since a higher percentage of those tend to be open!

Goodness, Bruce.  You must be talking to my wife.  She had me inventory our NON-bourbon holdings and to put them in three (3) categories: open, not open (as opposed to "closed" but I kept that observation to myself - don't want to risk a 43 year marriage), and MIA so get some more.  That third category is my sole purpose in life tomorrow while she is in a Wegman's getting food.  I am so excited, and the trunk is EMPTY!!.
