Doesn't Whisky mean pure?

In which case it would make a very good eye rinse, although the alcohol may sting a bit

Tear ducts drain to back of the throat so as long as you did not loose any outside the eye, you will still get the same effects had the whisky been administerd oraly!

I had understood that "whisky" was an anglophone corruption of the Scots Gaelic "uisege beatha", which means 'the water of life'. I guess that the pure distilate is probably pretty pure, but it isn't sold in that form.

What you buy in the shops is cask strength whisky let down with water (that varies the distinctive character of the dram). Still I reckon that the alcohol would probably kill off most bugs, strip away the mucus from the eye, sting like blazes and be a very inefficient way of getting scotch from the glass into one's throat.

Perhaps we ought to start a string in 'chit chat' that encourages people to think of the most unusual way of using whisky.

I don't like Whiskey either. I have never met an Irish person whom I did not like, but I have never tasted an Irish Whiskey that I enjoyed.

Now Whisky is a different matter: Scotland in a bottle.

OK........I'll set up a thread for Scotch.....Irish Whiskey also if anyone wants to discuss it (Jameson rules) and Archers/Malibu, whatever that is.

Pull up a chair......take your dusty boots off and let's share what the angels didn't take....

Scotch thread in the other listing, bits and pieces, whatever.....
