This is not a brag or a boast but I knocked back over half a litre of whiskey while watching a film, with no effect, it was stored in a decanter and had been in my room for several months, without sounding sad I was trying to get drunk or at least merry. It was not until I had 4 beers did I start to feel on my way, these were an hour or so later.

So my question is, can whiskey lose its potency if not stored correctly? I had a fair bit to eat that day, and had also been exercising quite hard this week (training) so could that have an effect? I’m just a little confused. I’m a lite drinker and only touch the stuff once or twice a month, 3 pints and I’m merry!

I believe that the alcohol in the whiskey would evaporate over time if the decanter wasn't airtight.

Decanters are not the best place for storing spirits.

well that would explain it, because that much booze should be enough for anyone, i just kept going wondering why nothing was happening! :(
