Whiskey from diabetics' urine

[Juana]

 

Gilpin Family whisky is a new single malt whisky made from the urine of diabetics. Creator James Gilpin doesn't sell the stuff, but rather gives away bottles as a public health statement. From the product page:

Sugar heavy urine excreted by diabetic patients is now being utilized for the fermentation of high-end single malt whisky for export. The Whisky market is growing faster then any other alcoholic beverage worldwide. With a prevalent genetic weakness being exposed in the northern hemisphere leading to a sharp rise in type two diabetes, economists have found a new exportable commodity to exploit and are keen to capitalize on this resource quickly.

Large amounts of sugar are excreted on a daily basis by type-two diabetic patients especially amongst the upper end of our aging population. As a result of this diabetic patients toilets often have unusual scale build up in the basin due and rapid mould growths as the sugar put into the system acts as nutrients for mould and bacteria growth. Is it plausible to suggest that we start utilizing our water purification systems in order to harvest the biological resources that our elderly already process in abundance?

holy living fuck do you see what these spags are up to? Diabetics transmit their disgusting disease to us by making us drink their disgusting urine in the form of delicious whiskey. From now on, stop drinking whiskey.

No.

I don't think you take the diabetic threat seriously enough.

Look at it this way - you wouldn't have unprotected sex with somebody that has HIV, right? No matter how hot they are?

now you can't drink whiskey, no matter how delicious it is. Diabetes is too grim of a fate to risk on a shot.

I know, I've seen your youtube. I don't want to be a crazy person who shoots up all the time in front of kids. I'll stick with non-urinal whiskey.

ETA: Consider it having sex with someone without HIV

It's okay.  I only drink bottom-shelf rotgut, so I'm safe.

It occurs to me that this is just another part of Transmet coming true.

[Richter]

Sounds safe.  It's pretty much certain to be mostly non urine, since that much processing pre-distillation would drive up the cost.  

When they engineer massive obese brainless perpetually diabetic meatsacks with huge kidneys and cistern sized bladders to facilitate the production of piss whisky, maybe.  For the moment though, the restrictions of capturing and harvesting from Wal - mart scooter people and oversized soccer moms in distilleries on rusting offshore oil rigs keeps this true Pee hooch a specialized and rare product.

[The Johnny]

Remember kids! Urine might be sterile, but it aint good for yar kidneys.

[Jenne]

Ugh.  There is a REASON why your body gets rid of it, just saying.  Why PUT IT BACK IN?

*spits*  No way.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Kinda puts a new spin on the phrase getting pissed drunk or being a pisshead.
