...You have not seen the levels of depravity and debauchery some so-called "fans" or "connoisseurs" undertake at marathon tasting sessions, in certain Nevada cities not to be mentioned.

But some acquaintances -- I cannot call them friends -- play a rather depraved game called "...

...couple of orders of magnitude, and it turned out that in order to consume the amount of phenol you were warning us about, you'd have to consume roughly 185 liters of heavily peated Islays over a few days. So how... Are you *really* ignorant of the toxicity of what you are consuming? Smokers aren't, and they keep doing it. There you go again, ...
