Did I stumble into r/alcohol or am I in a frat house group chat from 2012?

No hate, but this sub used to feel like a cozy dive bar where a guy named Carl told you how to make a proper Old Fashioned and cried about his third divorce.

Now it’s giving, “My mom went to Target, so I made Jungle Juice in the bathtub.”

When did we trade tasting notes for trauma bonding over Four Loko and Red Bull margaritas?

I used to come here to learn about peaty Scotch and why gin tastes like Christmas sadness.
Now every post sounds like a dare that ends with a hospital visit.

Bring back the classy chaos. I want debates about single malt vs. blended, not “I made a shot with cough syrup and moonshine and now I can smell colors.”
