Only purchased by pretentious liquor aficionados with more money than self-respect. ETOH is ethyl alcohol, drop a Slim Jim in a glass of Ever Clear and you get the same taste with a better punch.

I'm not sure how my comment is trolling? I will tell you this, anyone who uses 'LOL' or 'LMAO' or any other lazy ass short-cuts to make a point or tell me when to laugh, I immediately disregard.

It shows you have zero understanding of alcohol consumption. A $150 bottle of scotch, whiskey, tequila or bourbon is leaps and bounds better than a slim jim and everclear. Much of it involves the aging process, which is why 20 year old scotch costs more than than a 12 year scotch, which costs more than no aged everclear

No, it doesn't. Aged anything is an upsell tactic that marketers use to bait the ignorant public in to thinking they're better than the hobo with a bottle of Two Buck Chuck (that won best wine in 2007 in a blind tasting). It's like comedy snobs that tell you Andy Kauffman was a comedy genius when all he ever did was yank people's chains.

So you're saying there's little to no difference from a well drink vs a 20 year aged scotch? Just marketing? There's nothing snobbish about that, it's just common sense that a $20 bottle isn't going to be as good as a $150 bottle.

I agree with your sentiment that it becomes mostly a status thing to pay for a $1000 bottle or 10,000 bottle. After you get much over $100-200 there is a law of diminishing returns.
