You should try giving compliments! It's really nice.

Warning, do not drink more scotch. If you want to lose weight, quit drinking. If you drink regularly, nothing will make you lose weight faster. I used to drink scotch daily. Not only was it very expensive, but I got fat as hell. Cutting back honestly didn't cause me to lose much weight at all, but with I quit completely, I started losing weight very fast, after an initial couple week delay.

Scotch is a whiskey, so no on that. Wine, no also, but it may have some stuff in it that's not so bad. I don't actually know though. I do know that wine has ethanol in it and ethanol is unequivocally bad for your body. People don't like to hear that because booze is so deeply interwoven into our cultures. But it's bad for you.

I don't say that with a single shred of judgement of those who do drink. In fact, I still drink myself, but it's once every six months or so. But I do plenty of other things that are bad for me. I ride motorcycles, smoke weed, don't floss enough, and the list goes on. We all have to choose how we want to live our lives and I think if we can make honest, informed risk vs reward calculations, we're doing it right. Just my opinion.
