Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

No.
Yet, the process that goes into making scotch is extremely arduous and takes a very long time. This causes potential supply to be much more limited than burgers, due to requirements for storage and creation of the raw spirit, let alone having it sit in a cask for at least 10 years. This stuff is single malt too, meaning it is produced at the one distillery (with limited production capacity) and there is not blended with other, lesser scotches to add volume.
So to an extent, the scotch is affected, but nothing like the Macdooglez. -

"Let's see, what shall I research? I could try to solve some kind of challenge or problem facing humanity… Too boring. Perhaps I could probe the mysteries of the universe? Naah, I'm not smart enough. Ooh, I know, I'll assess whether a fictional character could really drink as much as the author claims he did!"

I assume someone or some people were paid for this exercise in pointlessness. And it is published in BMJ, an esteemed medical journal.
I hear next they'll be looking into the feasibility of Hugo Drax's space station and its cloaking device.

The article I read noted that the research was done by reading the books at home, "in a comfy chair". They also mentioned that the BMJ's Christmas edition covers mostly offbeat studies. I'm guessing that the whole thing was unfunded and done mostly as a diversion from "real" research. Quotes from the paper itself seem quite tongue in cheek.

Quit ruining my rant Chris, can't you tell I want to be angry about this?

Just picked up some habanero shrub from Bittermen's, some single estate Tequila, and some Gran Marnier. My guess is you can figure out where I'm headed here.
Some gin and rum libations will also be explored with the shrub. I will also be experimenting with Rittenhouse rye, two kinds of spicyness in some kind of variation on an Old Fashioned.

I have my seasonal bottle of Havana Club Sept Anios…..happy as a Seul in shit now

You Yanks can't buy Havana Club because of your beef with Castro right? Sucks to fall out with Fidel when his rum is soooooo good.
