Today, my son had a secret party. At first I was mad, then I had a complete and total Incredible Hulk meltdown when I realized that he had opened a bottle of very expensive whisky, originally bottled by my great great grandfather in Scotland, and used it as a mixer with fucking Pepsi. FML

As much as it won't replace the sentimental value in the slightest I would get him to pay for two or three times the value of the whiskey, and generally make his life hell for a while

Bright side, no jury in the world will convict when this goes to trial for murder.

i too will not judge you harshly for killing him. I do not drink, but i know that good aged whisky can sell for ridiculous amounts of money. If he has a college fund, i suggest you spend it vigorously on a vacation and turning his room into whatever the **** you want as you kick him out of the house as soon as legally possible.

Beat his ass even if he's older then 18

Please tell me that he didn't add ice.

Once a mixer is added the ice is irrelevant. :(

Whiskey doesn't age after it's bottled, so if your great-great-grandfather bottled it, it probably wasn't actually worth that much, except as a novelty to collectors. The whiskey was as good then as the day it was bottled. The physical bottle probably retains most of the value as a collector's item. Also, if your son didn't realize it was an antique bottle, it suggests you probably didn't store it in a cellar, so if it was bottled 100 years ago it had probably deteriorated with age because of exposure to sunlight or humidity.

Even if it was just matured for something like 3 years... he used it as a mixer with Pepsi. The son is an ignoramus. There was probably a reason that particular bottle had been kept and handed down the generations too, you don't do that for any old (or in this case young) whisky.

how do you know that op's great great grandfather didn't make high quality whisky? op could have also kept it in a cellar. op's son was obviously a teenager and could have gone into the cellar to get it. he obviously didn't respect op enough to not throw a secret party and drink the alcohol. for all we know, ops great great grandfather was a master at making whisky and aged it for a very long time before bottling it and giving it to his child who passed it on.

You do know that he could have sold that bottle for upwards of 10k right...? Look it up.

My son threw a party back when he was younger and his friends went thru some of our older alcohol bottles.. He was grounded indefinitely.. And all electrics taken off him!! I feel you pain OP .. Times a good healer

that kid should be sooooo grounded he should never see the light of day again!!

I get pissed when company that asks for some Scotch doesn't appreciate it like it should be, and that's only $70-80 Scotch. I can imagine how pissed I would get with a bottle that could be upwards of 100 years old AND bottled by family! FYL
