This is my method for keeping healthy. Can’t get sick if I drink copious amounts of whiskey

If you’re not going to drink it, could you at least clean with it?

Fun fact: Former socialist countries like East Germany used to use some kind of phenolic smelling cleaning fluid. I smelled that shit every time I crossed the border to East Berlin at Friedrichstraße. A decade later, I had my first Islay malt which had a really similar smell… it was really weird.

To this day, I cannot drink a Laphroaig without being reminded of those times.

It was 0.5% phenol, also sold as Dettol. The most potent surface antibacterial.
Show threadglorkonDec 16
Interesting. I never knew what they actually used. I had never encountered that smell in West Berlin at the time. And certainly not since the wall came down. Thanks for solving this mystery. 🙂

Maybe just a tiny crash, let the hype die down so I can finally get a bottle of pappy

The poor little bacteria!

They’re drunk.

I’d guess it’s just the alcohol in the whiskey and would work as well with any other alcoholic beverage with a similar or higher amount of alcohol. Or is there anything special about whiskey?
Show threadManifish_DestinyDec 13
Nope. Just a sterile liquid.
Show threadSCmSTRDec 13
Wait wait wait… What is a “sterile liquid”? Is it something that, itself has no bacteria? Or is it a liquid that sterilizes other things?
Show threadDrusasDec 14
The former.

tha’t’s why I only drink my whiskey by the ass
Show threadClockworkOtterDec 13
The ass is indeed part of the gut

Does proximity to livestock make such a difference?

Great with ass burgers.
