If you are like me and have some cashizzle tied up in the stock market or have a job thats dependent on the health of the economy, what better time then now is there to drown your sorrows in alcohol?
Sure health officials may warn against the magical combination of depression and booze, but sometimes it just feels like the right thing to do. So now that the Dow has crashed, your boss has warned of impending layoffs and your Citibank margin purchase is haunting you, what will provide you the necessary salvation?
To try and visualize a good recommendation for the Joe Bartender readers, I tried to rember what alcohol is used in the movies. You know, what would a regular dude order at bar when his family and friends have been murdered by a rogue govenment agency after he accidently witnessed a top government official get offed? There is only one drink that came to mind. That is Whiskey - Straight Up.
Now to get a little more specific, what type of whiskey should I drink. Well since the American economy is the source of the pain its got to be an American Whiskey. There are three types that fit the bill and they include:
Bourbon whiskey
Rye whiskey
Corn whiskey
and
as of 1941 good old fashion Tenesse Whiskey with the most famous brand of all:
- Jack Daniels -
Directions:
Shoot it (Dow Jones down 200)
Pour it over ice (Dow Jones down 201 - 600)
Sip it neat in a Brandy Sniffer (Dow Jones down 601 - 850)
Hell, drink it straight from the bottle (Dow Jones down 850+)
Try enjoying some other Jack Daniels drinks from Joe Bartender

JB Economy is tanking Stock Pick:
Altria Group, Inc. (Public, NYSE:MO)
Industry: Tobacco
Nov 26 - Close: $15.87
Now I know a lot of the Joe Bartender followers are bartenders themselves. What do you see pissed off folks drinking up after a hard day? What is your ’stress reliever’ drink?

This recession is taking a big toll on alot of stuff. Jack Daniels sound pretty nice right now how this economy is.
December 8th, 2008 at 7:09 am
In times like these, people go back to the basics, good old fashion Tenesse Whiskey.
December 8th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Oh! Incomparable Jack Daniels! Really good for drinking up after a hard day. Good thing.
Nice site. I love it. See u.
December 8th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
I thought the same thing but it looks like some alcohol related companies are laying off employees as well. Was surprised by that. I think more people are staying home rather than going out for drinks.
December 9th, 2008 at 7:12 am
Nice article.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Tell this to those guys at AB-Inbev - lot of people losing their jobs now.
December 10th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Figures after the post it barely moves more than 100 points per day. Probably have more fun with the drink when the market goes down another 1500 points at the beginning if the year.
December 13th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
bartenders and artists (espcially musicians who play in bars) are often said to fare the best during tough economic times. (i’ve had this said to me a few times recently).
and it seems that it’s going to be bars, musicians and Walmart on the top of the chain for a while here…..
December 20th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
a good glass of gin on the rocks always takes my blues away but fortuanately I have no stocks
December 20th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
LOL, sorry for the laugh but could not stop it. On alcohol and depression, I personally think its better than those strong sleeping pills.
I try to avoid drinking alone specially when depressed, but who knows may be I’m sad when I’m drinking.
Try dark RUM …
December 21st, 2008 at 11:05 am
Alcohol or any other drug cant heal the wounded hearts due to recession…Lets us hope on the Change….
December 23rd, 2008 at 6:42 am
Jack Daniel’s is good. Alternate switching to Southern Comfort works for me.
Honestly, didn’t anyone see this coming?
What I didn’t see coming was the LOOTING OF THE TREASURY by the banks and auto industry after we hit on hard times, and the government allowing it to happen.
(I wonder who made unclaimed money on THAT ONE?

Happy new year

Informative post. Thanks so much for putting so much labor for your research work.

I’m glad (very happy infact) that he was chosen as the next President. It wont really change much I don’t think.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:21 am
hehe, bottoms up!
January 1st, 2009 at 8:46 am
let us hope that the right decision was taken. this is what really matters at the end.
January 2nd, 2009 at 7:51 am
Bottoms up to Obama, even though investors with stock should really be looking for the long haul - things do make me nervous right now.
January 2nd, 2009 at 8:23 am
I’m suprised, I thought the one thing that would never have trouble is alcohol. Just goes to show you how bad the problem really is.
January 4th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
The recession isn’t good for anything ! I hope it will be over soon.
greets
January 5th, 2009 at 7:53 am
Jack Daniels is definately a good choice to wash away the blues! But truthfully, we need to stop hiding behind excuses and become responsible Americans. But it never hurts to let go once in a while and enjoy a little whiskey in your favorite way.
January 5th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
It is a great time for new and early investors to jump in and buy up some cheap premium stocks. The rest of us…just hold on for the ride and keep buying!
January 5th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Yeah, things are pretty rough out there with the economy and another lousy recession. But, we have a new president and I do think he will get people’s confidence up. All is not lost…look for good things happening this year…2009!
January 5th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
You are correct, Whiskey is the ’stress reliever’ drink…
But, as far as I know, most of the Indians are not using any of these, I just wonder on how those guys get release from the stress?
Guys, my late “NEW YEAR 2009″ wishs,
Cheers, Let’s have a peck
January 6th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Do you really think it’s a good idea for investors to just hang in there and keep buying? And has the price of whiskey been effected by the economy at all?
January 8th, 2009 at 12:29 am
Hi, thanks for the comment. I had a question for you folks, i heard of loan modifications for distressed mortgages. do they work? i might possibly face foreclosure and move my family and would like to know my options. thank you for you assistance. we need to stick together, homeowners.
January 10th, 2009 at 2:40 am
Quite informative article. Yea, it’s really a great time for new and early investors to jump in and buy up some cheap premium stocks.
January 10th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
My Dad had roughly 3 million dollars tied up in the stock market. So far, he’s lost 40%. It’s been pretty rough, so maybe we’ll make that drink and try to forget about all that lost dough.
January 15th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Im so glad I dont have my money in stocks
January 16th, 2009 at 7:47 am
Definitely seeing consumption go down .. Maybe the industry needs a bail out also…
January 17th, 2009 at 10:20 am
Good on him and a great turnaround for the worldwide opinion of the USA. I had a phonecall with an American client of mine the day after and it seems spirits were running very high indeed!
January 20th, 2009 at 1:45 am
Oh! Incomparable Jack Daniels! Really good for drinking up after a hard day. Good thing.
January 20th, 2009 at 3:14 am
As do I get back a big thirst
January 21st, 2009 at 7:27 am
My friend just got out of perhaps the worst relationship, I think it’s time for some drinks.
January 21st, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Great comparison!!
And it made a lot of sucess.
Lots of comments.
January 26th, 2009 at 11:57 pm
Thanks for dealing with this topic. Its really a good post.
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:21 am

February 3rd, 2009 at 10:17 pm
I must say that you have chosen an important topic and has dealt with it very well. Congratulations for such a great work.
February 6th, 2009 at 4:11 am
The Economy Is in the Tanker but nothing wrong with with some stress relief!
February 14th, 2009 at 1:42 am
Wow what a solution,can we think better than that.In these tough economic times, OySite can help you identify and pursue all the right opportunities.
February 19th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Great Info!
February 23rd, 2009 at 5:45 am
Can I have Vodka on the rocks please? Lol. At a time like this, let’s just drink and hope things get better in the morning.
March 5th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Jack Daniels is my favorite
March 11th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Seems like this is the best method to get away from it all simply go have a drink. Jack Daniels!
March 14th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
I actually had a Jack Daniels drink the other night for the first time in maybe 15 years. It used to be my drink of choice and I felt I wanted to reintroduce myself to it, and it was stupendous. I love the the “directions” given as to what amount goes with a specific drop in the Dow. Scary part is how many of those “drink it straight from the bottle” days we have had in recent past. Ugh!
March 15th, 2009 at 8:47 am
LOL! How ironic, this post quite old and look at what’s happening today!
March 15th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
LOL, my stress reliever drink is any ice cold beer. Failing that, a nice single malt. Failing that a good bottle of Red. Failing that a crisp pint of cider.
Ahh what the heck! ANYTHING will do!!
March 15th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Great post. I am impressed.

June 15th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Some people who take the time to research the markets do very well. They are however very unpredictable. My cousin is a stock broker and tells his clients “dont invest what you cant afford to lose”
June 23rd, 2009 at 12:48 pm
The market is kinda sour…. so bottoms up my friend!
