Let's boycott Kentucky Bourbon until #MoscowMitch is gone

[Captain Zero]

Lots of other distilled spirits come from Kentucky as well. Let's boycott it all. Check the distilled spirit you are picking up. If it has a Kentucky Distilling source, just Ditch it because of #MoscowMitch. Buy Canadian, Irish, Oregon or other whiskeys. There's plenty of choices. Watch out for vodkas and gins that come from Kentucky. There are other choices. New Amsterdam gin made in California is quite sufficient. There are others. No sorry feels for Kentucky. They have to all begin working to #Ditch #MoscowMitch. We will help them celebrate when they do with a toast of fine Kentucky Bourbon. #Boycott #KentuckyBourbon #KentuckySpirits #Ditch #MoscowMitch

2. Easy peasy.

I don’t touch liquor and my very occasional beers are Canadian.

3. Ummmmm

Naaah....I’ll pass. The folks at Jim Beam have been nothing but kind to me

[world wide wally]

4. Kind?

What about that last hangover?

[A HERETIC I AM]

11. I don't get hangovers

Because I’m not 25 years old anymore and I know how to drink and when to stop.

5. The liquor market is like the gun market

Most of it is purchased by a relatively small sliver of the population.

7. I'll pass. Plenty of democrats in Kentucky.

And I love bourbon.

12. I think they would understand.

SOMEBODY has to do SOMETHING, and the only thing that seems to have an affect is $$$.

Or we could just sit back and do nothing.

That would be best, since NO ONE should be hurt in any way to make any point.

13. If I boycotted everything I encouraged to on DU,

I would have few options.

They are generally totally ineffective except a few targeted types like advertisers.

Plus, I live in Florida. At least monthly someone on DU gets all indignant at who horrible Florida residents are and encourages a tourist boycott. Never mind that the tourist areas of Florida are the Democratic areas of Florida. Not planning on doing the same to the good people of Kentucky.

8. Easy for me

I prefer a single malt scotch.

9. Didn't some European countries

Didn't some European countries put tariffs on Kentucky liquors as part of their response to Trump's tariffs.

10. Too late!

Been boycotting all alcohol for 22 years, 9 months, and 3 weeks.

But I can promise not to buy any as gifts for others.

14. Now you've gone too far. My health (ahem) demands a small nip

on some evenings - with hot water, Splenda, and a little lemon juice.
