DawgDoc, with you on the "colored" stuff that will at some point cause a "problem".
Often I warn or "suggest" to those that I love to be careful when using "color" in their drinks. Been there, done that.
I do shots with Crown Royal 12 and will go face down for
"any scotch". Many that drink scotch go in different directions, many I know and associate with ask for J&B.
When I was in the Far East, at a much earlier age, it was a toss up between "drink and smoke". I was one of those that liked "both", still do.
