"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
I never liked Jack. I like other whiskeys but just don't care for that. I used to drink vodka and tonic, at the time I dated a girl who drank Jack and Coke. Bartenders invariably gave me the Jack. Made me question my manhood that did.
I can't drink any whiskey without a little soda water. Except for apple pie whiskey.
Just not into alcoholic beverages, much, anymore. The father of a friend of mine used to make a gin and coke drink, with a squirt of lemon, that was delicious, and I enjoy a glass of Drambuie once in a blue moon, but I typically go months and months without a taste.
Reminds me how 1970s girls all had some mixer with coke which was 'their' drink.
Bacardi and coke, Tia Maria and coke...
Meanwhile we guys experimented with harder stuff. I recall one starry summer night we had a Tequila party, lip, sip, suck... until we felt we could just reach up and touch those stars. Aah, youth!
These days I only drink at Christmas and reunions when someone brings an expensive bottle which usually tastes great. Otherwise I never have any luck buying my own (that's my excuse!)
I don't want to end up like my brother whose liver is nearly gone either.

lick salt, and suck a lemon, not 'lip' of course. I must have a touch of the 'Joes'.
