Meanwhile, I recently caught him pouring Kentucky bourbon into a Wiser's bottle. My question is two-fold: How much should I let global politics contort my life? And should I call my friend out on his hypocrisy? -Patriot Games

How do I broach the subject without starting a fight? -Electric Circus, Corktown
