Drinks are much-maligned, but they have a few pluses too.
They loosen inhibitions, among those who may otherwise be tongue-tied. Up to a point, this is good.
They are a conversation opener. I have unexpectedly found Single Malt or wine enthusiasts while talking about these.
I also think appreciating a good drink or making one, like a cocktail, is an art, like any other.
My current interests are Single Malts and Cognac. Wines, beer and cocktails, occasionally.
Had a master class on Malts in person from Krishna Nukala in 2018, at Hyderabad. He's a Malt Maniac, part of a worldwide group.
Recently, started following Sonal Holland, a Wine Master. Thanks to Prabhakar, a friend, I have tasted many great wines from around the world.
Cheers, to those who drink responsibly, and enjoy their drink.
