I did the same on Southern Comfort, I had a 375 ml bottle and my friends had a six pack of beer each, we all thought that’s about the same. I was 16 years old drank it before a party two blocks up the road, I only made it half way and spent the night throwing up in the gutter.
Never again have I drank it and the smell still turns my stomach.
My wife & her friends keep saying the same thing. A few have unfortunately had some of the labels eaten by snails so I’m not 100% sure what they even are but they are all 1990’s or older (cracked a 1986 shiraz last xmas than was silk). None of them were particularly expensive when I got given them as gifts back when that was common but I guess by now they’d be hard to find. I know nothing about wines & rarely drink them even when I’ve been to James Halliday’s house. I’m more of a collector even with most spirits which annoys the wife who would have drank them decades ago.
I was in the same boat and let a couple go to vinegar. Decided to polish off anything older than 1998… good year… best thing i did. Don’t be waiting around for a special occasion like a flag…
I’m normally Vodka drinker but my duty free stash is all gone so I’ve pilfered some of my wife’s Scotch for the game tonight. She still has about a dozen bottles left from one of our favourite Scottish distilleries
