alcoholic - straight whiskey, straight brandy, old fashioneds (either the whiskey or brandy kind), port wine, and beers that are flavorful without making you feel full after three sips/not sugary sweet.
nobody: top five whiskeys; scotch single malt, irish single malt, irish blends, tiny bourbon labels, and rye (because rye doesn't get enough appreciation)
follow-up; what kind of take-out can I get within a 20-minute drive ... uh, subpar tamales, rice dishes that are only spicy if I doctor them tons, and okay pizza
