The Midnight Feud: Booze! by This'll Do

[Rebo]

Mrs. Cake is #45.

@Sternvogel

1. Point of pedantry: Scotch is whisky (no e)
2. Bourbon, meanwhile, is indeed whiskey
3. Also known as a Cuba Libre

That was my fault. Rosie had it spelled right, and I corrected her. :smack:

[Sternvogel]

@ShibbOleth

Bet a lot of people put Jack Daniels, which is NOT a bourbon.

@ShibbOleth

I am a pedant and this place is supposed to be about fighting ignorance.

Then you’ll appreciate knowing that the proper spelling of the Tennessee whiskey of contention is Jack Daniel’s. One of the few examples of a word that is all too frequently misspelled by dropping an apostrophe (which apparently drifts until it can find a resting place in a sentence such as The Jackson’s live here.)!

And I’m also feeling a bit ooky over all the people putting down Cognac brands for their brandy choices.

Cognac is a type of brandy.

Yep, I got that now. I know how to spell all the brands now. Should come in handy some day…

Thanks, I’ll remember it. I really don’t care for it myself, hence my inability to properly spell the brand name. Interestingly the website is under www.jackdaniels.com and not www.jackdaniel.com (which belongs to someone else).

Sorry, Worm…

@Rebo

Sorry, Worm…

No probs… I’ll just hit the bar instead and try out the sorts mentioned

[Busy_Scissors]

Too Late Goshdarnit!

[brownie55]

Top ten and for the first time ever not one time was I the only one with the answer I gave. That’s encouraging.

Thanks Dolores!

[NDP]

Third from the bottom. I guess my attempt to disguise the fact that I’m only a light drinker failed miserably. Still, at least I knew enough not to classify Jack Daniel’s as a bourbon.

How about a beer-themed feud?

a-HA!! That’s why I couldn’t find you in the scoring. At first I just looked a few spots above and below me…you weren’t there. That’s odd*, but it happens occasionally, so I looked through the whole list…still nothing. At least it’s not because of my advancing age and declining eyesight.

*even when we don’t have many answers that are the same, we tend to have similar scores. I’ve been watching since you pointed it out; it’s amusing.
