Mixer. Either four roses or Ezra Brooks. Usually with cola, ezra tastes just like Jack.
Straight. Four roses single barrel, Evan Williams single barrel, or knob creek small batch 100 proof. Most of the time I'll pour a drink of something good, then switch to one of those for the long haul.

It's 60-80% alcohol when it comes off the still, then watered down either for barrel-aging or for final bottling. There can still be a lot of the underlying grain flavor in there.

I haven't drank in over four years. Probably about 6 years ago I stopped binge drinking and only would really tie one on at one of my friend's weddings or on my birthday etc. I'd go out and have some beers with people during the week usually and gradually decreased the amount I'd drink to the point where I wondered why I'm wasting money and consuming extra calories drinking 2-3 beers at the bar.
So as far as how to quit, if you want to quit entirely it depends on your situation. If you're a mess without booze, sweats, shakes etc, I don't think anyone can really help you but yourself. If you just drink more either by volume or frequenecy then you'd like you just need self-control or willpower to not do that anymore. In most cases it's just boredom driving you to drink, at least that is what it was in my situation. At the same time I just ended up smoking weed more frequently to compensate, but I've quit that too for the most part.

I've never seen that before but lemme make it more interesting for you:

Oblomov is a renowned character in russian literature. He is a wealthy young man who is the sole descendant of a large wealthy estate. He was spoiled through childhood by all the peasants and his family, and so in adulthood he's extremely lazy and can't drive himself to accomplish anything.

Eventually, his best friend Stolz introduces him to a beautiful woman. Stolz is a man of the world who has been successful in business and the military, a typical foil for Oblomov's weak character. His idea is that the beautiful woman will inspire Oblomov to outgrow himself and become a happy participant in the world.

I won't ruin the ending, but it is very russian. Neither happy nor sad.

for me, it's springbank. Not middle-shelf but I rarely drink, so it fits a middle-shelf budget.

This tastes nothing like whiskey. It is more like gasoline or everclear.
Do yourself a favor, try the next step up.

Just bought a bottle and tried some. Has less flavor than Evan Williams, but it also has way less alcohol bite. Heaven Hill Quality House is definitely great for its price if you're looking for something cheap, inoffensive, and actually drinkable. Hell, I'd say it potentially competes with some higher 20, and lower 30$ bourbon's. A genuine surprise.

I might actually stock up on a couple more bottles before it increases in price from the Hipsters.

Yea. It's very light. I don't get almost ANY alcohol flavor to it, but it also has a kind of creamy consistency with light vanilla and a soft butter note.

I wouldn't say it's better than 30$ bourbons, definitely challenges and competes with some 20+$ bourbons. It's so clean and smooth with that distinct yet light sweet/creamy note. It honestly tastes reminiscent of Irish whiskey.

Note to other anons: If you have guests over and they want to try some of your whiskey, just give them Heaven Hill but don't tell them what it is, they won't notice and may even think its "high end". Keep the quality stuff for yourself and close friends.
