Whiskey comes from theGaelic word

*In* <http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/worldmalayaliclub>*18th
century Pennsylvania
<http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Whiskey_Rebellion.aspx>**, the
favored currency was whiskey — which was used for cooking, medicine,
and drinking, among other things. That whiskey loyalty would
eventually lead to the 1794 Whiskey Rebellion, where farmers fought
against the taxes that threatened their liquor livelihood. That’s a
fight worth fighting, if you ask me.*
*IN THE INDIAN ARMED FORCES WE STILL USE AS A CURRENCY MANY TIMES....*
4.Whisky can help prevent cancer.
Whiskey can help prevent cancer.
*In 2005, Dr. Jim Swan,**speaking at the EuroMedLab conference in
Glasgow
<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1489648/Whisky-helps-fight-cancer.html>**,
said, “Research has shown that there are even greater health
benefits to people who drink single-malt whisky. Why? Single-malt
whisky has more ellagic acid than red wine.”*
*That ellagic acid, also found in most fruits, is an antioxidant
that may absorb rogue cancer cells in the body. More research needs
to be made to make this conclusive, but let’s drink up and hope Dr.
Swan is correct.*

*To be clear, drinking large amounts of alcohol is related to a
higher incidence of stroke. However, if you can master the art of
moderate consumption — meaning one drink a day — that*
<http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/worldmalayaliclub>*may provide
protection against an ischemic stroke
<http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/alcohol-full-story/>**.
In fact, having one drink per day is better than no drinks per day
when it comes to protecting against ischemic stroke.*

whose taste deteriorates in the bottle, the fact that whisky lasts
