A couple weeks ago I went to my ‘usual bar’ for supper. I’ll have a drink with supper, usually an old fashioned with Makers Mark or Jim Beam, but I’m not a big drinker. This night I felt like something different… so I asked what else they had on their burbon menu.
After some go around and back and forth, I finally settled on one called Crown Royal Golden Apple (23yr). The waitress camr back and let me know it was expensive, but I said ‘eff it, lets go’. So I had myself an $80 old fashioned and it was spectacular (the bartender poured me a double, charged me a single). Of course all of the bartenders and all of the wait staff ‘heard’ about this guy buying a spendy drink. 🤷♂️
Fast-forward to TFIU: now it doesn’t matter who is behind the bar, they all know who I am, and every time I come i and order a drink it comes out super strong… as in, hand my keys to the missus and spend half the ride home giggling to myself ‘strong’.
My advice to you: if you can afford it, splurge on something rather dumb at least once in your life. YOLO
TL;DR: ordered an expensive drink at a bar, now I get wasted every time I’m there.

They’re trying to get you lit enough to order it again
I know a guy who had a similar experience, except with tequila. Luckily my guy is kind of slick and conned this really douchey Wall Street type to buy it (they ended up drinking the whole bottle, so that bar tab must have been EXPENSIVE).
