15. Tips for drinking whiskey
In whiskey, like a good alcoholic beverage that is, has its
own mode of operation allows us to follow a few simple
things, make the best of him.
-The glass or glass: The glass that you drink whiskey is
very important, in fact there is a glass and a glass specially
designed to consume this drink. The style glass shade,
broad at the base and narrow at the mouth is the ideal to
taste the whiskey as it allows to move freely in whiskey
inside without spilling a single drop, allowing the aromas
are released into the neck of the cup.

16. • -Adding water: Just add or not add a touch of water is
entirely personal. Many people believe that adding water
ruins the taste of whiskey, on the other hand others say
that a touch of fresh water enhances the aroma and
flavor bringing to light the hidden features of the whiskey.
• -Added Ice: Put ice in a good whiskey is like wasting it, it
sounds a bit crazy, but the ice will not only reduce the
temperature of the whiskey but also freeze its aroma and
taste properties decreasing. If you take whiskey with ice
always try it without him, I assure you it looks like you're
drinking a whiskey altogether.

17. -Adding other drinks: Drinks such as soda, ginger ale,
lemonade and cola cover the taste of whiskey, so if you
want to enjoy a good glass of whiskey did not you add this
type of drink, otherwise you're only drinking a cocktail.

18. effects of whiskey
The effects of the whiskey depends on the amount
consumed, but there are other circumstances that may
accelerate or exacerbate.
• Age: Young people are more sensitive to the effects of
alcohol on activities that deal with planning, memory and
learning, and are more resistant than adults to the
sedative and motor incoordination.
• The weight and sex: Alcohol affects more serious for
people with lower body mass. In general, women weigh
less and the size of your internal organs are proportionally
smaller, therefore, smaller amounts of alcohol can quickly
generate more psycho-organic damage and develop
alcohol problems more easily than men.

19. • The amount and speed of intake: depending on the amount
of alcohol consumed, irrigation can be considered low, high
or dangerous. A higher intake of alcohol in less time,
greater possibility of poisoning.
• The combination with carbonated drinks (tonic, tails, etc.)
accelerates the poisoning.
• The simultaneous ingestion of food, especially fatty food,
poisoning slows but does not prevent or reduce damage to
the body.
• The combination with other substances, such as
tranquilizers, muscle relaxants and analgesics, potentiates
the sedative effects of alcohol. When combined with
cannabis increases the sedative effects of both
substances. In the case of cocaine, a stimulant effects are
counteracted, but the toxicity of both substances is greater
than if consumed separately.
