        2.The word whisky means “water of life.”

    The word whiskey means
    Whiskey comes from theGaelic word
    <http://www.whisky.com/history.html>“Uisge Beatha,” which means
    “water of life.” That phonetically became “usky,” and eventually was
    pronounced as “whiskey.” Drink that water, friends!
    KABHI ISKEY KABHI USKEY.........

    *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.*

    <http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/worldmalayaliclub>
    *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.*

    <http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/02/magazines/fortune/whiskey.fortune/>**,
    whose taste deteriorates in the bottle, the fact that whisky lasts
    almost forever means its value can appreciate in a big way. So,
    instead of that 401k plan, just buy a couple of rare bottles and
