Stuff like this is why I have to use an adblocker on the web. I want to give them all my money to have a wood and glass flat fifth of old crow.

Does anyone else think the "Greatest Generation" had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol?
If you did that much day drinking you’d think you were the greatest, too.
"We're the greatest generation! We told our parents to shut the fuck up and stay silent, while we kick hitler's ass. Our cups runneth over with booze, our cocks swing freely, and our children are booming! Like I said. We're the greatest generation."
Not sure if you're implying it but the Silent generation was sandwiched between the Greatest and the Boomers.
I thought the silent generation was the ones who were the greatest generations parents, and adults in the 1920s. During silent movie era.
Nope, you're thinking of the Lost Generation, nope Silents were called that because like Gen X, they were fewer in number than the post-war Boomers, and becuase they were generally known for being cautious and thrifty, having grown up in the shadow of WWII but too young to fight in it.
Edit: in case you were wondering, the generation before the Losts is now sometimes called the Missionary Generation. Theres a list of tentative names for generations going back to the 1400s in this wikipedia article if you're curious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generational_theory
sounds pretty good to me. better than the shithole we're stuck in now.
then again... we're stuck in this shithole because of their kids so they couldn't have been that great.
You mean the generation that grew up in the wake of WW1 then went from hobo to doing hard labor in government construction work to fighting in one of the bloodiest wars in history had a substance abuse problem? Yeah a lot of them tried to drink the trauma away.
Yeah, that one.
A dry man ain't worth knowing.
say what you will but they sure knew how to party!
The plane is a Lockheed JetStar for anyone curious.
Apparently it's now ironically a younger crow I guess since it's just less aged Jim Beam:

But seems the version in the ad might've been before the recipe changed due to an error.
Once again, proof we have strayed too far from God's light.
...for people going places.
Like rehab.
(PS: Not a dis on rehab. Rehab is good. If you need help, please seek it.)
That’s awesome!
It is the best dirt cheap bourbon. I drink better stuff these days but I still have fond memories of it
Imagine the marketing meeting where they came up with this, and declared it a genius idea! Now a traveler doesn't have to find a liquor store, or even a bar, he's always got his fix discreetly stashed in his briefcase for quick and easy application.
Didn't they already have flasks?
At last science solving real problems.
Didn’t know you needed to be as discreet with your alcoholism then.
I think it's more about easy portability than discretion.
Are those old bananas in that glass??
It's ice, though I can see where you're coming from.
