I'm a recovering alcoholic with close to 30 years sobriety now ..... and the idea of drinking excessive amounts of any liquid will always be funny to me now ... or to want to drink liquids like some sort of ritual.
If you drink 6 litres of beer in a day in front of others and get blind drunk ... you're a party animal
If you drink 6 litres of water in a day in front of people ... you're a weirdo
Or you can sit at a dark dingy bar and sip on scotch or whisky for hours on an afternoon and it's normal
But if you sit in a dark dingy bar and sip on a glass of orange juice for hours on an afternoon ... people think there's something wrong with you.
If you want to see what it would look like if the anthropomorphic incarnation of testosterone itself wrote, directed, and acted in a movie, then look no further. It's so full of vitamin-T your voice will drop an octave while watching it, and your unborn grandkids will go into puberty next week.
Apparently liquor stores make their money off of hard-core drinkers and alcoholics, so liquor ads (and liquor store employee customer support) are designed not to attract new customers but rather to make the existing customers think their level of drinking is normal and acceptable.

Cigarette store owners genuinely surprised that you're still alive every time you come in.

Look up the Arnie flick "Commando". It aged badly in a hilarious way.Actually this is from Predator. Also worth a watch.

I mean, my local liquor store is close enough we could be considered neighbors and I regularly get suggestions based on my taste.
