WHOA! I like my friends, but a snifter of Laphroaig is a bit much! A wee dram or so, yes, but a snifter?

Reminds me of the story my father told about his father, who at one time was known for his ability to imbibe spirits. Rem, which is what everyone called my father, asked the older feller, "Pops? Why do you drink your whiskey like that?"

Gramps replied, "Like what?"

Said Rem, "Well, you pour a tumbler full, grab it in both hands, then close your eyes really tightly and toss off the whole tumbler all at once."

"Son, every time I see whiskey my mouth waters, and I just can't stand a weak drink."
