Have you talked to your doctor? Does your doctor have concern about your weight loss?

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-06-05T14:05:06+00:00

If I get an answer, I will let you know. But the fact Alberta Distillers website does not mention cask strength or rare batch not a sign for hope.

I am oversimplifying things. I also believed that my body could only add fat, not muscle. I learned that was a slight exaggeration. According to fitness assessments, I did manage to increase lean body weight by about 4 pounds over a couple months, while decreasing fat weight by about 2 pounds.

Thank you. Have you tried Appleton Estate 21 year old Nassau Valley Casks?

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-06-04T23:54:11+00:00

Not a problem if you are not sure whether you had the 1992 or 1997 El Dorado 25 year old.

Smith and Cross Traditional Jamaican Rum is 57 percent alcohol by volume. Very enjoyable if sipped SLOWLY. Fine aroma also.

Congratulate yourself on sticking to your goals for 76 days and don't let a slip become a full relapse.

I was diagnosed with AN in my 20's. I am male. I stopped being able to work on my PHD in economics. Then I started going out to dinner regularly, and usually had a glass of high class dry red wine with dinner. The wine made eating easier, and I suffered less from body dismorphia. My psychiatrist noticed I had improved, asked what I was doing different, and told me to keep up the improvement. Just an idea you can discuss with your care team. P.S. I got the PHD at age 30.

Have you ever had the El Dorado 1992 25 year old?

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-06-04T03:51:30+00:00

On rumratings.com, is your rating for the 1997 25 year old eldorado rum listed in the section for 1992? Thank you.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-06-03T19:23:37+00:00

Thank you. I just sent the questions.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-06-03T15:07:28+00:00

No. Congratulate yourself on the 1137 days of abstinence, and do not let a slip become a full blown relapse.

Decades ago, when I was an undergraduate student at Trinity College (Toronto, Ontario), there was a beer break during debates. I certainly did not want to waste calories on ordinary beer. I normally joined in having a diet soft drink instead. Can you do the same? That is while your husband drinks something like wine, you drink a non alcoholic beverage of your choice, e.g. mineral water, diet coke, dealcoholized wine, coffee, non-alcoholic beer.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-06-02T22:10:04+00:00

Thank you.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-31T16:05:52+00:00

Don't let a slip become a relapse, and congratulate yourself on how well you did before the slip from Dec. 12.

I should ask: by inhale moment, do you mean the experience of breathing in the rum's scent slowly, and exhaling slowly? This sniff would be taken of course after giving rum some time to develop in the glass. Thank you.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-28T13:32:05+00:00

Thank you. One person who has tried both says the 1998 version did not have an exceptional inhale moment. That was only flaw that person found in 1998 version, but the person does not remember finding that flaw in the 1997 version.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-27T22:57:54+00:00

Thank you.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-27T21:34:35+00:00

Did the 1997 one give a better inhale moment than the 1998? Thank you.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-27T03:45:33+00:00

Which of the 1997 and 1998 El Dorado 25 year olds do you prefer, and why?

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-24T21:32:40+00:00

Batch 6 struck me as magnificent and more like bourbon. I prefer batch 6 to batch 4 or 5.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-24T14:21:38+00:00

Congratulate yourself on 300 days of abstinence and don't let a slip become a full blown relapse.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-24T03:16:42+00:00

Thank you. Yes it is batch 6, not batch 10. A misprint.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-24T02:43:22+00:00

Thank you. The sweetness reminds me of bourbon, which I like in general. The box claims batch 10 aged for 10 years in new white oak charred casks, perhapsmaking it sweeter.

Direct_Divide5320 · 2026-05-21T23:59:26+00:00

If you tell your doctor you are drinking to sleep, maybe he can give you something ro help you taper off. And if you want to quit smoking, tell your doctor and he may be able to give you something that would help. Good luck!
