    You are the best whiskey reviewer in my opinion. I already follow these steps (except for the fasting, and the supplements) and it definitely keeps me feeling good all around. Im glad you made a video about staying healthy! Not only because its my favorite whiskey reviewer who is talking about it, but it shows how professional and responsible you are. We need more responsible boozers in the world. Cheers from Texas !!

    Hey Ralfy - thanks for your great videos that got me interested in Scotch whisky. I just got back from a visit to Scotland where I drove 900 miles to tour 13 distilleries including those on Islay, Campbeltown, and Arran. I was able to taste New Make Spirit, and smell the heads and tails from distilling runs. Toured the floor of the Speyside Cooperage, too. What a fun, educational trip! Have you visited Macallan's new distillery? What a marketing show.

    Always a pleasure to join you in the Manx bothy Ralfy! One needs extra care if they are taking any prescribed medications as well. Our home has sold and we are in the process of moving. It was humid and 89f on Saturday and being busy I didn't drink enough water (only one beer with lunch that day). Sunday morning I woke to a nasty leg cramp at 1am and got out of bed quickly and passed out for the first time in my 65 years! My poor wife called an ambulance and my blood pressure was extremely low, so it was a night in the hospital with many tests. I need to add that I was taking a medication for my heart, which after this spell they have discontinued. I see my cardiologist next week for a follow up. Take care, Ossie

    I take milk thistle extract with goji berries and chia seeds in kefir once or twice every day. I also mix turmeric and ginger (both ground) with apple cider vinegar and water. Many liver flush foods as well (beetroot and cruciferous veggies) It makes me feel a bit better about drinking :)

    Hey Ralfy I'm in the USA I buy mainly American bourbons, and I agree with you about not getting drunk, which I never do. And I do drink a lot of water when I drink the spirits before ,during and after but I drink it in the form of green tea during my whiskey drinking. I read one time about the Asians drink whiskey mixed in green tea for a healthy drink, that's what I read. I was drinking the tea long before I read about the Asians mixing it, I very seldom mix green tea with my whiskey but I do drink a lot of it.

    Hadn't seen this one before, don't know how I missed it. When I have a dram at night, I tend to snore and wake up with a very dry mouth, sometimes even suffering from a bit of what I call "tired brain syndrome". I found that having a big glass of water a bit after my scotch works wonders against those effects. And of course, a Glencairn is an absolute must to keep the dosage reasonable.

      They probably thought it was just for adding to your whisky. That would actually be more handy for that purpose then the big pint glass with a slice of lemon that I usually end up with.

    My mother has worked her whole life treating people with Korsakoff syndrome - the importance of not over-indulging in alcohol and having the appropriate nutrients (including several vitamins, the lack of which can be the culprit) cannot be stated enough.

    Ralfy this is perhaps the most important video you have ever produced and uploaded !
    As well I would like to add that B-Complex vitamins(alcohol washes them out of the body) in capsule form taken at bed-time with an aspirin - NOT tylenol not anything else but good olde fashioned aspirin-aspirin taken at bedtime are an effective hangover preventer as well as a few glasses of water.
    This is my standard operating procedure when I drink.

    Having lots to eat before drinking and lots of water after drinking is all well and good but I find the easiest thing is to just not drink too much ;)
    And also, turmeric, cayenne, garlic, ginger? Why don't you just eat your chicken tikka masala like a good (almost) British citizen? I sure do and I'm Canadian.

  • @TheOriginalRaster
    @TheOriginalRaster 6 років тому

    Ralfy, when I was a teen, my Merchant Marine, salty old Step-dad showed me and had me try a "whiskey trick." Beaker glass, he instructs me to get the water hot out of the kitchen sink, and he has me put in about 8 oz or so, then he pours some simple whisky into that hot water (not too hot) and he says... "drink the whole thing down, fast." Since this guy is my best friend I do it. I remember I was 'drunk' before I set the glass down. I was very impressed with that trick.
    Have you ever heard of that?
    Cheers!

    • @ralfydotcom

    • @alexk3088
      @alexk3088 6 років тому

      that's 5+ servings! when I'm enjoying my dram normally, there's rarely enough time in the evening to consume even half of that (and I'm not setting any limits except not rushing the enjoyment).

    • @TheOriginalRaster
      @TheOriginalRaster 6 років тому

      It was like 8 to 12 oz of hot water and he added probably 2 oz of cheap whisky, because it's hot water, drink that down like gulping a whole glass of water and you're drunk within what seems like seconds. Hot water seems to be absorbed immediately.
      He used to say "the taste of the whisky doesn't matter... just get the alcohol into you... and that's it." He taught me something, and I never did that again. Ralfy had been talking about overdoing the drinking. I was reminded of that story and I was wondering if Ralfy had ever heard of that trick before.
      An old US Merchant Marine / sailor trick I guess.
      Cheers!

    Mainstream media work harder than you when they remove bloopers, as do many youtubers, who do too. You were just lazy, but bloopers are ok, it would be more important to learn physics and chemistry basics before pretending to teach them to people, that is really important.
    PS: For instance, drink alcohol (ethanol) is hydrophilic, not hydrophobic, as you should know because you drink it mixed with water in large quantities everyday.

      I might disagree and I might even make a comment but why deny someone their opinion, especially on their own platform? Before long big beverage corporations will start shutting him up. Either it's 100% speaking your mind or not at all. And sometimes it's rewarding to engage with someone of different opinions. Either you change their mind, you learn something OR you lose nothing at all :-)
