Whiskey, Tequila, and Beer Go Head-to-Head-to-Head on the Summit

Post by Pivo »

Ladies and gentlemen, adventurers and connoisseurs, welcome to the most epic high-altitude showdown of all time! We've gathered here today on the majestic summit of Mount Booze, where we'll engage in a high-spirited debate over the three most iconic beverages: whiskey, tequila, and beer. As we sip and savor, we'll explore the pros and cons of each and determine which one truly reigns supreme at the top of the world.

I prefer not drinking on a summit.

I'm all for beer, but why wouldn't vodka be on the list?

I have a preference for H2O, best tasting water source in Arizona.

So your preference for the best tasting water source in Arizona is … water? :-k
I need something stronger to figure out what that means.

Heathens, you haven't reached full blown decadence till you've pulled an ice cold bottle of sake out of a stream.

I used to be in the wholesale Wine & Spirits business, After forty years, the only two I would drink at room temperature are Reyka and Hanger 1.

Gotta weigh in here. I have found through extensive experience, that Champagne is incredibly awesome on a peak. Especially when there are several bottles and lots of friends!

I'm pretty sure I've never consumed an adult beverage on a summit. But there were a few times when organics played a part. Ten hours atop what is now called Troon Mountain comes to mind.

I think I've only had a summit beer once or twice. Also have had summit whiskey. Both have their advantages; for beer it's primarily that it's really easy to come up with an appropriate amount (i.e. a single beer), whereas it's quite easy to bring too much whisky - but the lighter weight is also the advantage of whiskey, along with the fact that whiskey is more enjoyable at normal outside temps.
