It's a very personal choice, and alcohol is ingrained into a lot of our society. Do you drink and if so how much?

    I'm investigating the possibility of buying a home still and making my own baijiu. It's actually legal where I live, and I have connections all over the production side of things so I can source some fascinating ingredients and "qu" styles.

    Of course I have no experience in distilling so ... ah ... my first few attempts are going to be dire.

    A lot of commercial alcohols add stuff that ... ugh. Really shouldn't be there. Making up for lost craftsmanship when producing in bulk by chemical means.

    I drink almost exclusively from small distilleries here. Ironically, unlike the same thing being done in Canada, it's cheaper this way. People go for brands, so the big name distilleries have a huge price premium. In the meantime the small producers are putting out stuff that's just spiffy and keen!
