This question has put me in quite a quandary. 

 

ETA: I can only imagine I taste great, but would that make me gay if I blow myself and swallow? I jack myself off all the time and that doesn't make me gay. 

I think giving yourself a facial would be pretty ghey.  Maybe get yourself close and then finish with your hand??

Dark and Stormy.... But cut sugars down.

 

Gin rocks or sometimes soda

That is my boat-drink, along with Dark and Stormies

Depending on the gin, sometimes tonic will be too sweet... so go for a few ice cubes, maybe club instead.

so many Beers out there, I never run out of things to try

[mmmmm...beer 691]

Alrighty.. so normally... an " Old Fashioned" how I like them are as follows:

2 oz. Bullit Rye Whiskey https://www.bulleit.com/whiskeys/

2 dashes Angostura Aeromatic Bitters

2 dashes Angostura Orange bitters http://angosturabitters.com/

1 squirt Splenda Zero liquid Stevia https://shop.splenda.com/products/splenda-zero-liquid-stevia-sweetener

Ice ball or cubes

*garnish with an orange rind around the rim into the glass and a cherry if desired

 

Now that being said.... double the recipe...  and two of those... essentially 8 oz.... feelin no pain.. but now sleepy.. 🥴

Are bitters just for the random cocktail recipe?

Nope, not just for cocktails. They also restore stamina in RDR2.

I'm a beer and wine guy. Occasionally I'll go with a Jamie and rocks. Heard people say Jamie and Ginger is good, haven't tried that yet. Screwdrivers and bloodies are hangover helpers when necessary. 

Vodka and sanpellegrino is a good summer time V&T or G&T alternative.

Old Fashioneds are made with Bourbon or Rye whiskey, Angostura Bitters and sugar (or simple syrup.) The key difference between the two is the sweetener – and it makes all the difference! The Manhattan uses Sweet Vermouth and the Old Fashioneduses plain sugar. Sweet Vermouth is a type of aromatized fortified wine.Jul 2, 2018

Thanks, I thought Old Fashioneds had Vermouth as well.  I had one this past Saturday while at dinner prior to the Diamondbacks game; they are tasty but a bit sweet for my taste.

mmm''s math about 8 ounces didn't add up, which is part of why I asked.

Normally they are 2 oz....  I made a double... so 4 oz's... then made another = 8 oz.

The sweetness is all subjectivity with the hand making them.   Don't like mine overly sweet either Jerry.
