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?

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.

He's also correct.
