Well, two I suspect.
Have you ever had Magellan gin, and what would be a good bitter flavor to mix with gin?
Gin does best with a citrus. But I'll let him take this. He's more of a gin snob than I am.
Gin isn't booze, it's "degreaser". But I'll let him take this. He's more of a deranged right-coaster than I am.

I figured, but I'm thinking of trying out something different.

Blue gin? Floral notes?
You'd probably be best off with an Aviation.
2 ounces gin
1/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
Dash of creme de violette
Flamed lemon peel for garnish
Add ingredients to shaker. Shake well. Serve up. Flaming peel as garnish.
You other Philistines can drink all the paint thinner you wish.

Hmmm. THat actually sounds quite good.
Jesus screaming fuck, that's way too elaborite. You'll never get shitfaced if you're too busy fucking around with garnishes.
Open 1 bottle of gin
Skull it
Shot of Jack to burn the shitty taste away
Repeat as necessary
F'kin amateurs :argh!:
"Gin" is an odd way to type "Mascara thinner"
There's very little about gin that isn't weird
It smells and tastes like old ladies perfume (but doesn't get you wasted as quickly)
Half the time it's blue, ffs
It's like a think tank of insane retards were tasked with the job of getting the party started and gin was a byproduct of what they actually came up with, which was glow-in-the-dark drain cleaner :eek:
Gin is either phenomenal or ass. There is nothing in between. You either get the good stuff, or you don't drink it at all.
Also, I never thought to put Creme de Violette in gin before, but it makes sense.
Monkey 47 gin or GTFO.
I adore gin.
Now, vodka... that's a shitty booze, more often than not.

I have yet to have a vodka I liked that didn't have to be infused with something that could destroy the rubbing alcohol effect.
Why you hating on vodka? It's a tool, designed for a job - to get you paralytic, quickly and cheaply. As such, it performs admirably!
Good vodka is nothing short of amazing.
Most stores do not sell good vodka. In which case, as P3nt says, it still serves a role. Just make sure it doesn't touch the sides on the way down.

How can it be shitty? It has no taste at all. It's the tofu of hard liquor.
The same with good rum.
Bacardi is not good rum.
Admiral Nelson and Sailor Jerry, although great party rums, are not good rum.
Gosling? Not even made in Bermuda, liars.
Myers and Mount Gay, starting to get somewhere. Maybe. If you have a good liquor store.
Cruzan? Not the stuff they sell in the states.
I got spoiled on a special bottle brought back to me from the DR. Once you taste the real thing, nothing you get in the store will ever compare.

I can stand Stoli... but it's always a last resort for me. Not sure I've ever had good vodka, I've had expensive vodka, which isn't necessarily the same thing... I still preferred Stolichnaya.

Expensive booze v's cheap shit
Hey, whaddya know, I got just as shitfaced as you did but now I have enough cash left over to go do it another dozen times!
Given that any spirit will have melted your tastebuds clean out your head half way through the third bottle, is it really worth all that extra cash just to feel all fancy and superior when you order a shot?
My advice - drop the snobbery and you might end up saving enough cash for bail the morning after

Normally I do get the cheap shit, whatever the cheap shit may be that particular time.
Sometimes you want something a bit different though, you know?

Prefers Jameson, usually ends up with Old Thompson
Clearly, P3nt's approach to drinking has more in common with hand-to-hand combat than most peoples'.
My favorite gin is Tanqueray... it doesn't exactly break the bank.

When attacked by an Englishman, P3NT does not take the moment to attack the Scots surrounding him.

There's a local vodka that's amazing. I am rarely a vodka drinker, but Mew Deal is fucking phenomenal. http://www.newdealdistillery.com/
I've heard some really good things about microdistilleries.
Everclear or go fucking home!
Also everclear is not sold in the commonwealth of massachusetts. Also its a shitty band.
Also i am looking to enjoy a good drink as roger says. I can get fucked up on cheap rotgut for the purpose of getting fucked up cheaply and quickly any day but thats not what im looking for here.
Im looking to do a bit of chemistry.
I have a story about rotgut. A few months ago my friend Z (himself a former off-the-books microdistiller of eponymously-named absinthe, which he got in a bit of trouble over) picked me up and we drove to Longview on a lark, and I proceeded to have three drinks in some shitty bar. Whiskey soda. WORST BOURBON I HAVE EVER TASTED.
On the way home, I was FUCKED UP. FUCKED. UP. Good think I wasn't driving, we would have spent the night in Longview. The next day I was hideously sick.
Just a couple weeks ago, on Thanksgiving, I was talking to the head distiller from a distillery in Colorado, and he explained exactly why that is: with good liquors, they pull off enough of the methanol-containing head to make sure none is left in their finished product. The cheap distillers also do this, but then they remove enough of the methanol from the head to make it legal to add back to their batch. So while it isn't much, you end up with a mild case of methanol poisoning on top of a normal hangover.

But it IS sold in the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations and the State of New Hampshire, AND RI just went tax free. So, even though MA is tax free, we still have better booze.
This means you no longer have to give your money to Freestaters, you can give it to the Hutts instead. :banana:

They put it BACK? Why? That seems like it would be an added cost...
