We Disagree with the Doctors on This Point
According to doctors, regardless of what you drink, you will feel the same type of intoxication. All of it does the same thing, whether you are necking a jaeger bomb or sipping a crisp cider. But that just doesn't ring true with us. Yes, medically we're sure they are totally right, alcohol's effect on the body is well known.
But, in terms of how alcohol makes us feel when we drink it, we know that each drink is not the same. We all know the emotional wine drinker, who breaks down after the second glass, or the overly energetic Vodka drinker, or even the sleepy ale gulper. Very different drinks, very different results, even if the same person drinks them.
So this begs the questions, what should you try during your time in isolation to keep your spirits high?

Feeling like you’d like a sweet twist to your beverage?Salted caramel tequila; you’re welcome.
Are you Looking to Be More Sophisticated, Darling?
When you walk into a friends home, and they present a bottle of whiskey, it instantly emanates a sense of class, especially if they offer it in an elegant decanter. Don't be fooled though, while this drink provides the ability to elevate one's status indefinitely, gulp it down and you'll find yourself down with the gutter inhabitants. Sip with leisure, don't overdo it!
