" This week in Esquire Weekly\u2014our original tablet magazine for digital subscribers: Ian Buxton, on the great whiskey shortage: &amp;quot;The dirty little secret of the Scotch industry isn&amp;#039;t they&amp;#039;ve become addicted to high prices, but that they&amp;#039;ve run out of old whisky.&amp;quot; Andy Simpson, whiskey investment specialist: &amp;quot;Supplies of older releases are constantly eroding, because collectors are always drinking them.&amp;quot; Chris Graves, on his fiendishly elaborate strategy for obtaining scarce whiskey: &amp;quot;A liquor store in my neighborhood had just gotten a shipment of something I wanted, and I&amp;#039;d heard that they were about to get a big shipment of Pappy Van Winkle later that week. So I bought the first bottle\u2014I think it was William Larue Weller\u2014and gave them some really nice cupcakes as a thank-you, figuring that it&amp;#039;d help keep me in their minds when the Van Winkle shipment arrived. It did.&amp;quot; Josh Ozersky, on the limited utility of cast iron pans: &amp;quot;Ninety percent of the cooking I do during the day consists of petty tasks\u2014reheating little pieces of roast beef; cooking fried eggs in the roast beef fat; making hot dogs and then griddling the buns in their fat; reheating coffee; slowly reheating pizza from the crust up\u2014that it would be madness to heat up a giant chunk of iron.&amp;quot; Andrew Dodge, the screenwriter of Bad Words: &amp;quot;I told both my girls, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m going to let you say one bad word today. But normally it&amp;#039;s not appropriate for you\u2014you&amp;#039;re too young and you haven&amp;#039;t lived life long enough to just use bad words helter-skelter. You can use one bad word, but the kicker is that you have to use it in context. You can&amp;#039;t just yell out a bad word, because that&amp;#039;s bullshit.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; A.J. Jacobs&amp;#039;s Huddled Masses, on what to do when parents of newborns ask for cash instead of gifts: &amp;quot;There are plenty of mature ways to make your feelings known: Give your friends a bag of pennies, a &amp;#039;check for $1 trillion, since it&amp;#039;s the thought that counts,&amp;quot; a handful of mints, or, as other readers suggested, adult diapers, huge boxes of diapers that the baby won&amp;#039;t grow into for six months, or a particularly noisy electronic toy.&amp;quot;  AND: This week in the life of the American man; a woman we love; your guide to behaving like a rational adult during March Madness, and a preview of the April issue of Esquire.
