Whiskey! Whisky!

Macallan's 15 is sublime
High West Bourye is delicious but dangerous. Especially a few years ago, when it was half the price.
Haven't had a drink at a gig in years though.

Over the course of a gig, I typically drink a bit less that a whole bottle of Bud Light. Keeps the pipes lubricated, so to speak. And does not impair my ability to drive home. Otherwise, the only brown liquor I regularly keep at home is Old Overholt Rye for making cocktails. Once every other year I splurge on a bottle of Dalwhinnie 15 year old. A wee dram is lovely now and then.

I rarely have more than a beer while playing. But, if we have an hour or two after setup or tear down, a Whiskey Sour or an Old Fashioned with Makers is usually the go to.
People around here always buy the band fireball shots if you can call that whiskey.

good ol Mad Anthony and his JD bass!!
I actually got to hold and pluck that bass in 98. His bass tech always set up his tech world stage left next to our dimmer beach. Massive bottle of jack at ready.
I like Bourbon and Mezcal, just not together.

I drink on gigs....but only 2 Captain Morgan and Diet Coke. If whiskey ....Jameson or Tulamore Dew.
i'm a bass 'n' beer guy but i like the frou-frou whiskeys (e.g., honey, apple, etc., they're actually liqueurs). but who doesn't like a little whiskey poured over their holiday fruitcake?! 
WOW! Yummy! Nice photo. The mirror gives the appearance of twice as much. Great illusion.
Being a "old poor man", my #1 go to booze and affordable bourbon with excellent taste (IMHO) is.......................

Me too with the "beer 'n' beer" guy.
Been into bourbon as of late.
Was heavily into scotch for quite a few years. I sometimes like to wash it down with a dark beer.
Porters and stouts are favorites.

One year we got a gig in Colorado. So suddenly we're at 5,000 feet. Nothing else to do, so we go to the hotel bar where there's this poor guy doing a solo act. We basically take over his gig. There is also a Rod Stewart impersonator. Drummy, who never drinks, starts drinking fireball shots. In 30 minutes, he's smashed. And shouting "Rod [redacted] Stewart!". In the end, we had to put him to bed, still shouting...
