2. I like Amarula but I don't think for drinking heavily it's a good option.

4. How MUCH booze do you want to take?
If you're a whiskey DUer, I really like Maker's Mark. George Dickel is another high-quality spirit. You drink Jack Daniel if you just wanna get fucked up and can figure out how to park your taste buds for the duration.

I also like Tanqueray.

Now, some will recommend vodka. Tell me, what is the difference between vodkas once you get to the price point they can afford to filter out the gasoline? Vodka is designed to be flavorless.

7. How about a couple
bottles of Terra Andina Reserva 2008 Pinot Noir? I think it's very tasty.

9. Oh, man! Oh, man!...get a bottle of Lagavulin!

You might need an extra $30-$40 dollars but it's well worth the price!

And there's not much difference in the flavor.
