Christmas party at mine last night
It was quite good, I made an ace cake and have loads of booze left in my house. Lovely, lovely booze. I don't know why I woke up at 4.30, it might have been something to do with my neighbours starting a 'running up and down stairs' contest then. That doesn't usually wake me up though, so it's a mystery. Sandwich was fried egg.

She started her day with a healthy drink of orange, topped up with vodka. There was no begging, no crying, nor announcing of wishes to get hammered. (Is it just me, or does that make her sound like a Peter Sutcliffe victim?)

I didn't start my day that way
We'd been awake for at least an hour and a half before I got the double vodka and orange. Plus, it is a scientific hangover cure.

Edit: I had actually been woken up by AA at 7.30

So I definitely did *not* start my day with a double vodka and orange.

that's irrelevant though. What I don't understand is the sweeping generalisations, such as with ale and lager drinkers. I like some examples of both, and will drink either depending on the situation and my mood.

Some lager is fucking gash as is some ale (and most cider)

The less said about that fucking alcoholic ginger beer the better.

Reply for both:

vodka is not meant to have a taste! It's just watered ethanol. How can that be yummy? A screwdriver is yummy because of the orange juice, and more enjoyable cos it's got a drug we all enjoy the effects of in it.

Flavoured vodka, like Bison Grass or whatever, I could agree on as it's actually got a taste beyond ethanol burning your tastebuds. The eastern bloc types drink vodka chilled down just so the ethanol isn't evaporating and ruining your mouth and instead goes down smooth.

Am I making any sense?

Yes, that makes sense

But that's my exact point, vodka has no flavour. I don't see the point of drinking normal vodka when you get the same ethanol hit plus other notes from, say, a rum or a gin. Same goes for things like Zubrovka (bison grass) which I do enjoy!
(, Wed 22 Dec 2010, 10:16, Reply)
it does have a flavour
are you saying that water doesn't have a flavour? ethanol certainly seems to have a flavour.

It's rare that I'll drink neat vodka, it'd have to be something like 42 Below to make it worthwhile, but I like how the taste of it blends with stuff like lime and soda.

Mamont is good and comes in a funky bottle, Snow Queen is excellent
There's a Scottish vodka called Pincer made with milk thistle and elderflower that is fantastic.

it still has impurities and traces of flavour which make it taste different
otherwise every vodka would taste the same, which it doesn't

I keep mine in the freezer.

On the one hand she could have been saying shut up to people who say 'sleeps'. On the other, she may have been expressing her excitement at the impending festered season and telling people to shut up for berating her of this child like ecstasy she is currently feeling.
