Wellness Wednesday for November 16, 2022

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

I'm slowly opening up to the more expensive side of things, and would be open to suggestions in the $50-100 range.

Redbreast 12 is on the lower end of that and is a pretty noticeable upgrade over Jameson.

Redbreast 12

Well, that was delightful. Thanks for the suggestion, and the permanent doubling of my whiskey budget. Anything else you'd care to recommend or suggest avoiding?

I managed to totally miss this and obviously the thread is dead now, but on the Irish whiskey front, I personally don't think much of high-end Bushmills options for their price (have Bushmills 16 currently, not worth the price tag, even though it's decent). On the flip side, I love the whole Spot lines of whiskeys, although they're kind of pricey.

Really though, the whole Redbreast line is fantastic and probably the best value in Irish whiskey - not cheap, but reasonable price point and great quality.
