How can they drink that shit? It tastes like Barbara Bush's salty puckered anus. Why do they even make it?

You are supposed to have it chilled. Chilled whiskey goes down smooth and you get drunk before you know it.

not sure how easily youll be able to get your hands on any of these as most of them are semi-local breweries, but they are delicious nonetheless and worth checking for anyone you can get ahold of them:
lagunitas brewery, mendicino ca - big brews and hops are the name of the game for these guys. lots of flowery but still heavy brews - their beers avg about 7% abv. reccomend: imperial red, censored/kronik, any of their limited edition 22 oz bottles.
magic hat brewing co., burlington vt - much lighter but more varied beers than lagunitas, magic hat has a curiously unique recipe for each of their beers. reccomend: no. 9 (semi-apricot not-quit-pale ale), circus boy unfiltered hefeweisen, hocus pocus wheat for warm summer days.
other noteworthy beers which i pick up somewhat regularly are anchor steam (sf, ca), pyramid apricot-weizen (ca), long trail ale or double bag (burlington, vt.... can you see a trend here?)... i could list more, but i think this post might be getting a bit long.

i think we're talking more about taste than drunkification factors here, but yes, jim beam does go down easy and get you trashed in no time. and always chilled or at least over ice, warm booze = blech.

Yes, most American whiskey is wank. I don't mind bourbon though (although I'm sure some made from Scottish or Irish whiskey would be nicer still). I only keep a bottle of bourbon for making mint juleps.

I like Jack Daniels... as much as a person can "like" whiskey itself rather than just it's desired effect.
I'm pouring a shot of it now.

Well if you're going for taste in alcoholic beverages, it'd be hpnotiq.
However, I do like rum and coke very much.

Yes, We Americans know food in Europe is better. There are billion dollar industries such as fine living tv shows and magazines reminding us all the time of this fact on a daily basis.

Fine American Whiskies: Buffalo Trace Wild Turkey (particularly rare breed) Makers Mark
Jim Beam and Jack Daniels are ok too I guess...
Bourbon and cherries are a match made in heaven. Bourbon and coke with maraschino cherry juice and a few cherries to garnish is excellent. Also soaking cherries in bourbon is good for parties.
For Scotch I like Johnny Walker. My in-laws usually have a bottle of black label on hand for me to mooch.
Canadian I enjoy Yukon Jack, which is really a whiskey liqueur but better than Windsor imo.
Irish I suppose Jameson.

Good Pennsylvania beer Weyerbacher Brewery known for fine barley wine aged in bourbon oak casks
Troegs Mad Elf A seasonal local favorite
Appalachian Brewing Company I particularly enjoy their Jolly Scot Scottish Ale
Yuengling I really like the Porter and Lord Chesterfield Ale. The Black & Tan is good and the lager is so popular in Pennsylvania that if you go to the bar and just order a "lager" you will with out a doubt be handed a Yuengling.
