The whole thing is completely counter-culture … it’s about strutting your stuff regardless of what others think of it. I’ve always been somewhat over-weight since I was kid, and I’m self-conscious about it, I’d love to have the a inhibition to walk the beach like that, and I don’t think I’m the only one. The dog knows it’s cool, it’s why he follows the guy down the beach.
I know I drink bourbon on the rocks when I’m at the beach…
BTW… Southern Comfort is NOT bourbon; it’s just artificially flavored to taste like it. As such, it’s technically a liqueur. Southern Comfort Special Reserve does contain some bourbon.
