Okay,so here's the deal:

- I'm a Navy vet who has been stone cold sober for 31 years.
- Another DU member, is a Marine vet who had his last drink in 1968.

He and I have an agreement to celebrate the end of this nightmare with a toast, and it will be scotch on the rocks. I'm thinking you might be able to suggest an appropriate scotch for the occasion.
