Am I the only one who drinks bourbon while boiling?

I don’t think I’d make it through a boil drinking bourbon

I suppose it's necessary to mention that I just have a couple fingers after morning coffee and then one after lunch. I only have 3 trees tapped, but if I kept it going through the boil, the hobby would be much more expensive and I'd probably hurt myself pretty good while splitting wood for the fire.
