Just should be ashamed of yourself casting such aspersions right after the Yomim Noraim.
I can have alcohol anywhere I please that is legal. I just don’t waste the calories on something I don’t enjoy.
On the rare occasion that I drink hard liquor it is Canadian Club.
As for serving guests, we have a well stocked bar, but my relatives and guests consume almost no scotch.

As for your attempts to figure out my income, nice try but no cigar. I own and pay taxes on more than one house in CT. Thus, the 10K tax limitation is an issue. We also pay property tax on cars and have state income tax in CT. All deductions above 10K are gone. I am just talking about residential non-income property. Taxes on income property are deducted fully from income when figuring net income subject to tax.

As my father Z”L always said: don’t complain about paying income tax, you’ve got to make it to pay it.
I simply explained how the Trumpian tax scheme has cut my available dollars for Tzedaka.
BTW>>>I don’t have any single malt laying around, but there is a case of Johnnie Walker Blue sitting in a corner of my office gathering dust. It was a gift from a grateful client after winning custody of his children from his ex-in-laws who prevented his visitation for six years. No one in the family wants it, I figure I’ll re-gift it come the winter holiday season. Should I save you a bottle?
