I’d give up alcohol way before giving up cigars (as in never having a cigar again, I take a break during the winter).
I enjoy about two drinks every couple days but lately I find it doesn’t agree with my stomach. I worked in a liquor store for three years so it would bum me out never to drink it again because the culture is so deep and interesting to me. My drink of choice is cognac or whiskey but I have been enjoying Jager this winter. Goes great with a cup of hot chamomile.
Fascinating. Can you explain more about the liquor culture? Am I right to assume that it is full of machoism and bravado? Haha

I think beer culture is probably the most casual with whiskey/whisky culture after that, bars are obviously a great place for convo for both. I enjoy cigar lounges for similar reasons.
I think some people (college students, wineos) can create a poor imagine of drinking but I def don't think it's all bad. Hard to paint something from the dawn of civilization with a broad brush.
I personally enjoy nerding out on the distinctives of beer, wine, and spirits when I found customers really appreciated me laying out the facts. There's a lot of history that spans cultural and political differences no matter where you decide to dive in.
