Ooooooooooooh. I'm going to have to find me some of that. That's the way I like my alcohol anyway. Let me enjoy myself whilst getting snockered.

i had teqilla like that once. some shit a buddy of mine bought in Tiajuana. it had two worms and a sack of spice you put in the bottle. the stuff was well over a hundred proof, but went down like water...unlike any tequila i have had. Unbelieveable. so we whacked back shot after shot after shot. Sadly it isn't as painless the next day. The last thing i remember from that night was hearing some guys from the basketball team (i was at URI kegger) saying "damn that irish dude can drink". i woke up 13 hours later sick as a bastard. needless to say i don't drink tequilla anymore.

That's because we're talking about real vodka here.

Damn right! Absolut is, well, let's just say that here it is a drink of absolutely last resort in most cases. There are so many better vodkas.

last resort is fucking albertson ( or any other various likewise neighborhood brand ) vodka... It is much cheaper than anything else around it, much bigger than anything else around it, and it comes in a plastic bottle >_< .... that, is for lack of a better word " Ghetto "

... not to mention it tastes like rancid rubbing alcohol... some vodka can actually taste sweet .... instead of just making you never wanna drink vodka again.

Head my warning - steer clear the supermarket brand vodka

Grey Goose. It's pretty damn good and it's not a bank breaker.

Interesting, that as Tequila doesn't have worms in it.

Mezcal i think it was called. and there were two large white earthworms at the bottom.

EDIT: In the US it is illegal to sell liquor with dead insects

I don't know what Tequila you've drank, but every brand I've seen has had a small little white grub.

You're not drinking Tequila. You're drinking Mezcal.

Mezcal has its good points, but it tastes too smokey for me.

Try Herradura next time you're in a Mexican bar.

Mezcal

If you're gonna drink any vodka at all you might as well drink rubbing alcohol >______<;;

I like the kind with alcohol in it.

Seriously, if you're drinking vodka, you're drinking it to get drunk. I see no reason to get hammered for more than $10 a bottle.

If you can get ahold of it Everclear 185proff civi 190 if you can get on military base only $13 a bottle and dont need much to get wasted tastes like a strong version of smerinoff.

Everclear?! Oi..... Why not just get some 99 Bananas and call it a day?

Maretto is good ... i used to be all about it when i found out about the flamming Dr. Pepper, then i got into tequilla when i ruled the Flaming Dr Pepper too fucking expensive. Although lately, ive had alot of dark liquor

Well, any of you drunken louts have anythign to add??

Rob I'd recomend the Grey Goose. Personally I'm not a Vodka drinker (Go Whiskey!) but Grey Goose is one of the few Vodka's I'll drink. One of my friends drinks almost nothing but Vodka and he loves the shit. Armadale's pretty good too, but somewhat expensive.

The trick to everclear is the Hairy Buffalo. You can get just as many people just as hammered for a 20$ 1.75 bottle plus another 20$ for fruit and fruit juice then you can for a 70$ keg (plus ice, cups and tap).

And the ligour buzz is so much more fun, but cleaning up the next morning... well lets just say I know from experience that you better not have had good carpets before that, because you won't by the next morning.

Pretty much why i switched to it. Got tired of haveing to buy a case for myself every night i went out. For the same price i can have 3 nights of fun. If you dont want the liquor puke never mix grain with anything else and never drink beer before liquor.

I'm not talking about puking with the carpet comment, it was just reminding me of a party me and my old room mates had in our old house. We'd bought two bottles of absolut and a bottle of everclear, then had around forty to fifty people over. The next morning I could have sworn a third of the the hairy buff was on the floor.

We didn't get our deposit back on that house for some reason...

the only good thing to be had with everclear would be either a purple jesus (everclear and welch's grape juice) or coo-coo juice (the fruit/everclear mix similar to what kyle described.) But then again everclear is a college thing. after you graduateyou realize that there is more to drinking than cheap swill that can also be used in a pinch to strip the varnish of your hardwood floors. and it takes most 4 years and tens of thousands of dollars to figure that out.
