It's amazing how influenced we are by power and money. That makes sense to me. I always asked myself why and where did a get the my liking for whiskey. It's because venezuelans think we gotta be on top hehehe. In reality is not true. We just like to pretend. That is something that i hate about my ppl. i cannot stand it. Even though i am not like that, everyone i know IS, including relatives and closer friends.
Venezuelans may no longer be the #1 consumers of whiskey, but the few ones that can still afford it do it mostly as a ststus symbol (at home they prefer the cheap local beer: polar). This is a society that stills remebers with mellancholy the days of economic prosperity and in those, long gone days, whiskey sure was to be poured abundantly. Today, those who drink it, do it, pathetically, to showoff they can still live the "good life" while the rest of their country men are starving.
Venezuelans dont like whisky because of its taste, if breast milk were the highest priced drink or "the international drink of status" to quote the whiskey importer guy, people in the streets could name a wide variety of breast sizes and rankings, its all about make impressions, everything in Venezuela its about making impressions, its the same with the bikers or "motorizados" there, many of them dont even have a roof under their heads but they are holding the latest blackberry phone
it is a pity Arturo Sarmiento who came here to the UK to Sandhurst Military academy and was the 1st Latin American in history to win awards in Winston churchill's school decided to go back just to make more money importing scotch into Caracas money he doesn't need because he owns ranches no wonder our country Vzla is such in a mess.
Representa un estatus ahora, porque antes hasta el mas humilde se echaba sus palos de whisky sin tanta sifrineria...
