When I was an impressionable young lad, I read in an interview with Keith Richards the Stone's recommendation that heroin and the like should be reserved for when one is a senior citizen, to take away the aches and pains of growing old and the like, especially since one's time on the mortal coil is winding down anyway.
Of course, Keef didn't follow his own recommendation.
Nevertheless, I find myself following this edict with alcohol. The older I get, it seems the more I appreciate it, in the best way--not for overindulging but for enjoyment in all the sensory pleasures it provides.
Lately I've developed a liking for Scotch whisky. I am sipping through the fall days on a long bottle of Lophraig 10-year. This is my first experience with Scotch, and I must say, I wish I hadn't waited so long. Or, perhaps it's best that I did.
