But hey! a nonagenarian.

-? You used to accept lifts from a 90-year old whom you knew to be a drunk? And she was cute? Hmmm...

Oh! no: I never got in a car with her! No way. When I said I helped her home, sometimes, I meant, from the parking to her apartment! :)

In fact a useful means of protecting the authenticity of the product.

Really? They must have a lot of lawsuits on their docket...

Yes, I'm not sure on this, but I think that the legal brand mark is on "Scotch Whisky"... The main problem was that many products of very low quality were comming on the markets, most of them comming from... yes, you've guessed it, China! bearing the denomination "Scotch Whisky". From other places too, but I know China was a huge problem at some point.

Sure, no worries here Dan.

I could inject Glenmorangie into my veins and it would still taste great.

Black Tar Heroin yes please.

Thanks for forcing me to re-think this: it is the designation 'Scotch Whisky' that has been protected, in part because some use the word 'Scotch' when asking for a drink.

There is a report here of a Chinese wholesaler prosecuted in China for selling bogus 'Scotch' Whisky...

Apologies for the error!

Whiskey for me! Weed is the only other drug I would ever consider besides alcohol. You would have to be crazy to even try heroin, I don't think it's something you can dabble in without becoming addicted.
