Vpdak Ethyl alcohol apparently has other uses. Is there anything it can't do?

This is a vodak moment.

turbo 24 vodak.

Vodak? God was that thread really a year ago? I almost pissed myself.

Any suggestions on a type of wine to serve with Ham? Baking it with a bourbon/honey glaze.

Thanks!

If you burn the ham, just drink the rest of the bourbon.

Pinot is ok, but an old mellow zin would complement the strong taste of the ham. enjoy

I'm not a wine person, but you really cant beat a red zin with any meat heavier than fish or chicken.

You're doing it wrong.

Seconded.

Though the gin crowd is making a pretty good point.

For the record:

Are we talking Everclear and a mixer of powered orange drink or...

While it wasn't vodka, it was related. When I was a baby going through teething pains, my pediatrician told my parents to dip a Q-tip into clear grain alcohol (gin, vodka, etc.) and rub on my gums to ease the pain. Every Friday they'd have martinis, and every Friday I'd coincidentally have a bad case of teething pains. :)

multuminparvo: my dad used to get a good rose to pair with the ham

A what now? That oxymoron makes no sense at all.

When I was about 19, a friend and I bought a fifth of Everclear and mixed it with some crappy-ass powdered Tom Collins mix. We somehow thought that would dilute it I guess. Luckily, we were drunk and passed out before any damage was done.

There is usually a bottle of the cheap stuff in every vet clinic (in the freezer or the DVM's bottom drawer--but never in the pharmacy for some odd reason) for the treatment of antifreeze (ethylene glycol) toxicity. It did come in handy for dissolving adhesives too.
and sometimes after those late night emergencies i wondered why we couldn't stock the better stuff...

I remember the 1st time I drank.

Falcon Hunter: Brown Jenkems: Impudent Domain: Brown Jenkems: Why waste your time with vodka when you could be drinking gin?

saphire blue with some ginger ale.

That's MY idea of a gin and tonic.

Gin (sapphire blue) + almost anything is good in my book. I'm glad it's finally warming up enough for gin and tonic season to begin.

Uhm, when is it not?

/Hey Scotty!
//Yeah?
///What's it gonna be?
////A Gin and Tonic sounds mighty mighty good to me!

obscure?

I usually have more gin & tonic during the warmer months, though I'm not against a winter one. Dry martinis are my other primary gin drink.

I came here to say I love Titos, but apparently the word of its greatest has already spread among Farkers.

Wow, so I've learned from this thread that the best industry to be in for design and packaging is apparently Vodka.

Go figure.

I can haz more ghey-ass artsy fartsy bottles?

Inflatable Rhetoric: Smirnoff should be used for anytihing but drinking. It's the worst.

Came here to say this. I shudder when thinking of possibly drinking this solvent. I like Kettle with fruit juice drinks and Goose when there is no juice in the drink.

Ethyl Rubbing alcohol: $.69 a bottle. Vodka: $5.99-$40 a bottle. Using vodka for medicinal purposes = Dumb as a bag of hammers.

People mention Gin & Tonics as a summer drink...

Besides being a nice, slightly bitter but cold drink on a warm summer afternoon, it has some properties that I particularly enjoy.

Mosquitoes absolutely hate the smell/taste of juniper berries, which is one of the ingredients and main flavors of gin. I accidentally tested this last summer, when my dorm mates convinced me that I really should come drink with them.
Before the evening was over, I'd drunk a whole damn bottle of gin, .70 liters (we're talking Denmark and a metric system here) and I had to get up early and go to my grandparent's summer cottage.

Needless to say, I wasn't all too peppy at 7am, when my brother and his wife show up and we drive off. When we finally get there, I spend most of the day sprawling in a deck chair. The test: the area around the cottage is home to the biggest farking mosquitoes I've ever come across! We're talking invertebrate sparrows with hollow concrete drills, here!
Everyone is slapping away at the farking things, while I just sit and mostly sleep in the deck chair. I noticed a couple of them landing on my bare arms, nose about a bit, then fly on to sweeter tasting targets.

Since then, I've always preferred to have gin & tonic or maybe some Schweppes Lemon handy for those summer afternoons.

And why gin & tonic is good to drink daily in malaria areas: mosquitoes don't like the gin, fair enough, but the quinine (new window) in tonic water, acts as a poison against the malaria parasite. Should one be bitten by a mozzy in spite of the gin, the quinine can add further security.

The moral of the story: gin & tonic ain't just a nice drink, it's good for ya! If you live where there are no mosquitoes (you lucky bastid), then just import some. They're as good a reason as any.

taking a shot of everclear burns like a mofo... oh and tequila has vodka's number. I mean come on tequila is practically an energy drink, plus nothing gets the pants off faster than tequilaaaa

FTFA: Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle and spray bees or wasps to kill them.

When my sons were little, I'd introduce them to "science experiments" like capturing insects and putting them in a jar with some booze. They'd laugh when the bugs got sluggish and stupid.

But honestly! It's a lot cheaper to buy a can of Raid Wasp Killer than to use precious, heavily taxed booze to kill bugs.

Does it come from planes?

/got nothin'

Fluff Girl: Danger Avoid Death: wwwavenger: I demand blind taste tests.

Use wood alcohol.

I see what you did there.

No, you won't.

The Shatner Incident: I love Ketel One. It mixes well and doesn't give hangovers. Very smooth.

If it doesn't leave a hangover, you're not drinking enough.



Here's your wine glass. Feel free to start sniffing your own farts at any time.

Nope, if you want the rock bottom of vodka, go for Dimitri (I don't think you can find it outside of Chicago, but it's $4.99 for a fifth of vodka that tastes about like paint thinner mixed with bleach). But for the best:

Not to be rude, but if you're mixing Ketel one you're wasting your money. You're better off hitting up a solid middle range vodka, like Titos (I'm in Texas, it's made in Texas, you can't throw a rock without hitting the stuff here).

If you're going straight, then ya, premium is (sometimes) worth the money. But buying Ketel and mixing it is like buying an expensive scotch and then throwing some coke and ice cubes in it.

All bets off for shiatty stuff, like McCormicks. I still shudder to think of the first alcohol I ever had (friend made Mc' Mudslides). shiat tastes like paint thinner, and there's nothing you can do to get over that, except throw out the bottle and find something better.

I love my bloody Maries!

Death by Misadventure: Life is too short to drink any kind of bad alcohol.

True enough. Most people have to get old to realize this though.

I second that remark. I like the slightly sweeter taste most vodaks made from potatoes have, and Blue Ice is about half the cost of the comparable one's I've had.

ChadManMn: serpent_sky: Couldn't you do most of that with rubbing alcohol, at a significantly lower cost?

Vodak is ethanol, rubbing alcohol is isopropyl (sp?). Many of the tips would work, but probably not as well.

Maybe a chemist type will stop in and enlighten us with knowledge of the superior magic that is ethanol.


Sorry, I'm off the clock (and on the bourbon). No can do tonight.

Svedka ftw

Twisted Gods: Because gin tastes like shiat?

Oh no you didn't.

ttc2301: Fluff Girl: Danger Avoid Death: wwwavenger: I demand blind taste tests.

Haha, you bastards. Now I have gin up my nose..

notbubbaholy: Svedka ftw

Cheap & Delicious. How could you go wrong?

Death by Misadventure: Until I actually drank stuff like Admiral, Grey Goose, Sky....

Working at several liquor stores, I noticed Sky was preferred by closet alcoholics. Airplane bottles cost 99 cents each and it was less detectable than bourbon or rum. Three small bottles in their pocket and off they went to work. I even had a TSA screener in uniform buy them every day.

I just wait til I get home so I don't have to hide my buzz.

And Svedka is crap. We were paid a commission to push it
