Paracelse Posted March 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2012 A confession: When I wrote about the environmental footprint of various kinds of booze a while back, I was really hoping that whiskey would turn out to be the greenest. That's because it's far and away my favorite alcoholic beverage, whether served on the rocks in a comfy bar or sipped from a flask, campfire-side.What I found, though, is that the production of whiskey and other spirits requires much more energy than wine or beer.

Lilly Posted March 19, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Wow, what's in your whiskey? I gather you haven't seen this thread yet? BTW, whiskey and I don't agree all that much. Were I to drink very much of it I could probably see David Icke's Reptilians and the entire planet Nibiru! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
