I am now pretty much disabled with severe chronic pain issues, and I can't find a job or buy insurance!

Anyway, after many years of being frustrated by pain killers that don't work and then not being able to afford them anyway, I have discovered the wonders of whiskey and scotch and Tennessee whiskey, Kentucky bourbon, Canadian blends, etc. and was just wondering what the difference is among them all.

They will take the edge off my pain and let me sleep when nothing else will, so I am now a devoted fan.

Thanks for the info you all have posted.
Damn. Sorry to hear the chronic pain. There are WAAYY better alternatives than drinking my friend. It will only compound your present issues, and create new ones. I think these guys were just talking about a wee dram now and then, not a lifestyle.
