You mean a complete lack of potatoes?

thoughts?

for me it's bottom shelf vodka with lime juice
no offense OP but buying expensive vodka is for retards, especially when it's not potato vodka
still, i'd gladly take a glass of the stuff if you'd be here and be kind enough to pour one!
cheers!

>>13815600
Smirnoff just like every other night. It's the perfect mix of quality and price

>>13815740
Not bad for the price

I'm concerned over dependency and an inability to obtain spirits and so am abstaining. I am however tempted to just stock up a ludicrous amount of liquor tomorrow.
Suggestions for my doomsday prep booze run? Summer is coming so definitely need some kind of gin but I am willing to consider anything.

>>13815600
My pancreas is being mean. I'll have to abstain I'm afraid. Bile sucks. Maybe I'll have some club soda.

I bought ICE 101 because it was $10 cheaper than Rumple

Whis/ck/y anons, is Glenfiddich a good scotch?

the GOAT rum
>inb4 muh Kraken

>>13816054
Im guessing you mean the 12 year old? If you havent really had scotch before, its not a bad place to start. Its very middle of the road with no overwhelming characteristics either way.

Having been through quite a few different whiskeys and knowing what
I like, I wouldnt ever buy it for myself. But I wouldnt be upset to get it as a gift.

>>13816092
What you rec to start with scotch?

>>13816099
I guess it depends on what you normally drink. If you have never tried whiskey in any form, then I think bourbon is the best place to start. I always found it much more approachable than scotch. Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve or any other mid tier would be fine.

If you want to go straight in to scotch then personally I would recommend something like Dalwhinnie 15 or Glenmorangie 10. Both are readily available, not too expensive and fairly rounded drinks.

If you know you really prefer a certain type of flavour then look out for that instead. When I started on scotch, I knew I already liked spiced rum. So my first few scotches were sherry matured scotch which is closer to spiced rum flavours than other types of scotch.

>>13815740
I prefer mezcal, myself.

>>13816054
I would recommend Glenmorangie or Balvenie if you're starting out with scotch whisky. Glenfiddich suffers from its success and is bland as shit now.

>>13816074

>Kraken
Nigger, are you a teenage girl?

>>13816156
>>13816192
What about Laphroaig?

>>13816262
Laphroaig is a peated scotch, which gives it a distinct smoke, salt, and tar taste that not everybody likes. It's a good introduction to peated scotch, but not a good starter.

>>13816262
Lots of people love it, and some hate it. Its not something that I would ever suggest to someone to buy a bottle of as an introduction to whisky. It took me probably 5 years of drinking whisky before I actually started enjoying something like Laphroaig.

Laphroaig is an Islay whisky. They tend to be peaty and smokey and Laphroaig especially has a tcp taste to it. Islay whisky is quite distinct and unlike most other scotch.

No doubt there are people who started on Laphroaig from there first bottle and will only drink peaty, smokey scotch now. If that was my first experience of scotch, I dont think I would have ever bothered again.

>>13815600
>Tfw gave up alcohol for Lent

I've got 3 more weeks to go, Bros

>>13816306
I gave up video games for Lent. I fucking WISH I'd given up drinking instead. Pray for me, king

>>13816306
i really need to make it a point to do this next year. my liver needs a rest.

>>13815740
Overpriced Vodka with artificial tequila flavor added to it.

>>13816054
Glenfiddich 12 is never a wrong option for a good speyside. Get it to see if you like the lighter, fruity side that single malts offer

Any seasoned alcoholics here that can tell me what I experienced earlier today? I have recently fallen into what I consider "alcoholism", being that I have drank a pint to a fifth of vodka a day for the past 7 months or so. I just love the buzz, and like to keep it indefinitely.. but today I cut down seriously, and my heart started beating freakishly fast, and I thought I was about to have a panic attack or something, then I took a few drinks, and it subsided.. but shit. Is this what is going to happen now if i stop? Is there a way to keep the buzz going without the anxiety? Not sure if I'm making sense. I don't give a shit about my health in the long run from alcohol, but that fast heart rate shit scared me and I don't want to feel that again. Oh, and pic related is what I've been mainly living on for a few weeks. I find food has also seemed repulsive as of late.

>>13816417
typical withdrawal friend
if you want to take a break, you need to taper off
typically you want to drink 2 less drinks per day til you hit zero
here's a free and bullshit-free website for resources
hope it helps

>>13816426
sorry bad link

>>13816417
You need to eat. Take a B vitamin. It helps. Doctors tell drunks that can or won't quit that they need to eat as balanced of a diet as possible. Nutrient deficiencies make things worse.

>>13816417
it has happened to me too, i sometimes go on binges where i drink 2 bottles of wine in a sitting, then nap,eat and have two more, for days and when i stop my heart goes crazy, i literally cant sleep because i can hear my blood rushing in my ears whenever i lay my head on the pillow, not to mention the anxiety i get, i read that the heart thing is related to high blood pressure, caused by alcohol clearly, plus one usually its thrash food full of sodium when drinking or after.

Been drinking Heavy Seas Loose Cannon and Jameson starting at around 3 o'clock for the past week. Been cleaning my kitchen top to bottom until "lunch time" as we call it and then get pounded with carry out for the last few hours. Fucking virus man, shit is crazy but fun and a blessing in disguise I think. Line cooks and chefs take this opportunity to get your shit together, both in the kitchen and at home.

>>13816426
thanks for the link. i never even knew alcohol withdrawal existed. i thought that was more something that heroin addicts and people on hard drugs dealt with. i'm fucking dumb. does this mean alcohol is literally a hard drug? maybe i should just stick to 420blazeit.. it's just too bad it isn't nearly as enjoyable as alcohol.

>>13815600
A Spaghett but with the Miller High Life replaced by Corona Extra and the lemon replaced by lime.

Was it good? Eh, not really.
Was it better than drinking a plain Corona? Yes.

>>13816515
just be responsible with your drinking and/or be ready to deal with the withdrawal with it comes
i'll never give up the drink, it makes me far too happy. i been through hell with it yet i keep it up

>>13816198
there is literally nothing wrong with mixed malibu, change my mind

>>13816289
>drinking Laphroaig right now
>it tastes like actual smoke and raw peat

how are you supposed to enjoy this unironically, just have it on the rocks with a dash of water?

>>13816642
Laphroaig pairs extremely well with Taco Bell.

>>13816656
god i wanna tickle those keys

Costco vodka. I have 2 handles of that and 1.5 of Costco Bailey's left, I hope they don't shut down liquor stores.

>>13815600
It’s wonderful

>>13815600
Poured a small swig of some scotch whisky. Gonna have a bit of cheap gin now to keep the inebriation going.

>dumb people on hard drugs

Not smart people like you killing themselves on the drug that takes the most lives yearly.

>>13816187
been sipping this, comfy stuff

Drinking Jim Beam with Cherry Pepsi on the side. My girl drank too fast and is puking currently.

>>13815801
Not bad for the price? Dude what? Shit is super overpriced, you can get better tequila for cheaper. The only people that drink that around here are just trying to show off their money, the same way the basketball Americans do when they have rims that cost more than their car

>>13816417
This is unironically how most fledgling alcoholics end up becoming full-blown alcoholics. Withdrawals are scary and most people are too deep into denial to realize that the withdrawals and the alcoholism are going to walk hand-in-hand until their eventual death.

made a pretty neat drink out of what I had available.
juice and strain a grapefruit, pour into a bowl/any large container will do. add a LOT of passoã and vodka. thin out with elderflower syrup and water. throw in a dash of grenadine for colour. sweeten with sugar after taste. mix and serve on ice.

>>13817262
Go back to the fast food or eceleb thread of you liking, will you?

>>13816989
how is it?

What gin should I buy tonight? Recently have been trying a bunch of different brands, and I'd say Suntory and Hendricks are probably my favorites so far. I thought about picking up a bottle of Jagermeister since I haven't in awhile, but I'm not sure if I'm in the mood for something so sweet.

>>13815644
this but bacardi and pepsi zero and gulping instead of sipping

Lockdown starting tomorrow here. I'm drinking 4 bottles of wine tonight.

The supermarket was almost all out of wine so I couldn't be too picky.

Nothing for the next 6 weeks at least. Working long hours in a kitchen makes me want to get blasted 3 nights a week plus drinking the bar dry this past weekend so I'm using our closure as the perfect opportunity to give it up along with cigarettes. Neither one really crosses my mind when I'm at home anyway unless I've just come back from work.

>>13817081
No, you can clearly tell he is a genius considering he had no clue alcohol had withdrawals to begin with. Literally no downside to alcohol which is why he doesn't care if it hurts his health, but doesn't want to DT.
Pic related's best friend.

>>13816515
My dude, alcohol is one of the hardest drugs out there (coming from someone who shot up heroin for a few years and has tried about 90 different substances) and WDs from it are among the worst and most dangerous

>>13815600
Is this /hootch/?

If I hated Tanqueray Gin, is there any point in trying Beefeater or Bombay? I hear they're similar. I did like another London Dry I tried, and also like Plymouth. Getting 1L of Beefeater for only 20 euros is attractive, although I can get another pretty nice local gin for 15 euro at 1L.

My current collection. Just picked up the Port Charlotte and Powers today. How'd I do lads? From left to right.
>Hancock's President's Reserve Bourbon
>Isle of Peat American Scotch style Whisky sample bottle (unopened)
>Lagavulin 16 Peated Islay Scotch
>Bruichladdich Classic Laddie Unpeated Islay Scotch
>Port Charlotte 10 Peated Islay Scotch
>Redbreast 12 Irish Whiskey
>Powers Three Swallows Irish Whiskey

Stuff I like but don't have at the moment:
>Templeton Rye
>High West Bourbon
>Knob Creek Bourbon
>George Dickel Bourbon
>Jameson Irish Whiskey

>>13817624
I should mention, the Beefeater/Bombay we have here is 40%. The Tanqueray I had was 47%, the Plymouth 41%. Maybe the reason I disliked the Tanq was the higher abv? Although I do enjoy whiskey at 50% so dunno.

>>13817713
Wait that's not totally true. I have some more stuff in the cupboard below but mixed in with some good Spanish Brandy, Centenario Tequila, Himbeergeist, and German Blutwurz is a whole bunch of mixer and cooking grade stuff that isn't really worth posting. I'd get em out but it's late and I don't want to go banging around for them

my circadian rhythm is already completely out of whack so I've been taking 2-3 hour naps here and there and continuously sipping on pbr
Started out with hard liquors but this "stay home" shit means I was blowing through a liter a day, so I'm trying to save my liver a little

>>13816331
Is this accurate?

>>13815772
Try chasing your cheap vodka with some pickle juice. It's super fucking good, and pickles are (surprisingly) one of the few things idiots aren't hoarding.
Plus you get to eat pickles.

>>13815644
For me its crown royal and coke zero

>>13816515
>i never even knew alcohol withdrawal existed
Holy shit no wonder most drugs are illegal. Also alcohol is a hard drug.

>>13817393
Keep trying them until you realise they all taste almost identical and that buying anything more expensive than mid tier is a complete waste of money.

>>13816989
ayy, I'm also drinking this. goes down so smooth, I just take shot after shot

Personally I would switch it up and get a nice sherry cask glenfarclas or glendronach or something similar.

>>13816642
I normally let it sit for 30 minutes to mellow out a bit. Last time I drank it, I got really bad heart burn though so I havent had it for a while.

Beer

>>13815600
I bought a case of Kirkland vodka and 4 36 packs of beer for sipping, should be good for a few days

>>13816515
Man just keep drinking yourself to an early grave, you're obviously not smart enough to live.

>>13815600
Same as every night. 1140ml of vodka mixed with frozen orange juice. I only have like 10L vodka on hand so I'm considering stocking up a bit just in case this meme virus develops further

I bought Talisker to not get bored of Laga 16. Meh. Does the job.

>>13819200
Sick reference bro

is bottom shelf gin just like bottom shelf vodka or do the price tiers actually matter?

>>13819286
They matter a bit more, but not much. There really isn't a "high-shelf" for gin. What you want to look for is a good ingredients list and reliable product. Gin can taste vastly different just depending on how they do things. More so than any other hard liquor.

>TFW only half a bottle of wine

when should I save it for?

>>13815614
What job?

>>13816074
Hell yeah, i started stocking this when i the alcohol stocking began.

>>13816198
Nigga i have drank everything there is, at the end of the day i just really like the beach theme and Malibu does it the best.

>>13818755
I'll keep that in mind next time I go to the store. What would you reccomend for Campleton, islands, and Speyside? I'd like to eventually have one of each

>>13816054
Horrible Chink’s choice scotch. Buy Glenlivet instead

There are so many options I could give you, and no doubt others would give you completely different choices. But it can get a bit repetitive drinking very similar drinks I find. I like to keep a few bottles of rum as well, and I would like to get a brandy. Nice to have some variety.

what are some good ways to use up alcohol in cooking? doctor says I need to abstain from alcohol for the forseeable future and I've got some random whatever sitting around like Midori and Chambord
I'd hate to just throw it out or pawn it off on some poor college kids

>>13817072
I second this. If you must go grain, some guys broke off Grey Goose a decade back and made a brand called American Harvest that is very legit.

>>13821610
Midori and Chambord really aren't cooking spirits. Might be able to piss them away in baked goods.
If you had red or white wine, sherry, or whisky sitting around, you'd have options.

Yeah don't drink that. Drink hand sanitizer instead.

Bought this for the quarantine as a scotch newbie and while I can't say I liked it more than unpeated whiskey it wasn't exactly unpleasant. Will just drinking it more and more help me enjoy it more or should I get a less peaty scotch to ease me back in?

>>13822256

My hospital has actually increased security measures for that exact reason.
Lots of stuff in the papers with indignant people huffing about how awful it is that someone would sink so low as to steal from a hospital too.
I'm guessing most of the theft is from docs and nurses anyway.

Just drinking some random pale ales

OP here, I actually agree with this. Usually prefer Absolut or Ketel One but people seem to fiend for Goose, so I usually got a bottle laying around. Is it just successful marketing like Maker's?

Also, what is everyone's regular sipping/shooting vodka?

>>13822266
Islay scotches tend to be an acquired taste because of that heavy peat/smoke flavor, particularly if you're used to drinking Bourbon or Irish. Maybe start off with some blended ones to see what qualities you like

>>13816074
Way too much sugar. Had a friend who would shoot this in college for some reason... only sugary shit I'll drink is 40% ABV and above. You'll pay for Rumple Minze and Fireball in the morning but you can get hammered in no time
>>13819467
Need to give EW another try. After I moved to a civilized state with alcohol in grocery stores I started buying Trader Joe's brand alcohol for everything because it's cheap and the quality's usually decent

>>13822690
>Is it just successful marketing like Maker's

yes

zemkoff vodka passed through a charcoal filter a few times beats grey goose in taste test

Help me please.

No alcohol for me. I drank over half my bottle of vodka the other night and got incredibly sick. I can’t bring myself to down it anymore; even the smell nauseates me. I guess i’ll be sticking with weed for a while

>>13819467
White label is best.

fancied myself some lochnagar

>>13821610
Midori and Chambord are tough since they're such strong fruit flavors. Cooking will be difficult but you could make some non-alcoholic drinks.

For the chambord, make glogg. Bring it to a simmer for awhile to boil off all the alcohol.

For the midori you could do a hot toddy and, once again, simmer until your alcohol is gone.

>>13815772
Order packets of true lime off amazon. One packet is a lime wedge of dehydrated lime juice and oil. 3 packets and an oz of water is the equivalent of an oz of lime juice. The taste is indistinguishable.

You make a good point. Never understood the whole Vodka and soda water thing. Rather just take a good ole plain shot of Grey Goose.

this specific strain of coronavirus is bioengineered to be highly transmittable. I'm not saying it's a bioweapon but it's a pathogen that combines SARS, HIV and the flu that is extremely unlikely to have occured naturally, but probably was created in that lab in Wuhan. There are so many people at risk of dying and most of the west has outsourced manufacturing of really important medical supplies and equipment, so even more people can die just because of incompetence. it's not a meme. most boomers survive respiratory problems easily because a respirator is always at hand, only young people really can survive respiratory diseases without a respirator (the virus causes the disease covid-19, the virus is the amalgamation of the different things that were created in a lab).

Basically, it's a frankenstein virus and it's already causing a lot of damage

>>13824129
Cigarettes I can understand, but why alcohol? You're going to get it regardless of a weakened immune system after alcohol consumption. The only difference is that unless you are an old fucker, your body is just going to fight the infection off until there is a remedy for it.

>>13824216

/peppermint schnapps/ here
store has been out of Rumple for a while, had to get some DeKyuper instead. what are some better alternatives?

>>13824233
It's always a good idea to stop drinking. I don't know why drinking is seeing as some kind of a hip or cool thing. It's poison. Take this from an alcoholic.

>>13824471
Because alcoholic drinks taste good

>>13824484
I've been withdrawing for about ten times in a year. It's not fun.

>>13824484
>>13824487
Also you get there faster than you think you would. No one wants to be a drunk.

>>13824471
i would have no problem giving up drinking if it were possible to have even a small fraction of the fun in life without the drink as with it. unfortunately, it can't even come close

>>13824487
I wouldn't say I have bad withdrawals but off of a few heavy nights in a row I just cannot sleep. Like, waking up every ten minutes for days after I stop, and i sweat/smell like shit too.

>>13824511
Yeah, laying on the couch slugging down cheap beers rotting my brain with netflix or whatever shitty steam game i got on sale this week is an absolutely joyous experience. Nothing can possibly compare.

>>13824635
Insomnia is definitely one sign of withdrawal. Worst I've had was five days of no sleep. It sucks. Cold sweat, lack of appetite, shakes and anxiety too.

>>13815600
I found a 3L fliptop bottle of a belgian stout I'd brewed a year ago and given to my girlfriend... she had two glasses and went to bed... which leaves me to drink another litre of this now, or have some flat beer tomorrow.

It aged really, really well. A little bit of banana yeast here, a bit of coffee/cocoa malt there, but overall just a nice little dessert stout... a little sarsaparilla, and this could have been the world's most adult rootbeer.

>>13821059
Any of the glenmorangies besides the 10 year (10 year is good, but it's much lighter than a typical highland), Glendronach for more sherry
Tomatin if you can find it near you and like red fruit

You know this shit is actually pretty solid. Keeps me from burning through my oban too which is nice. On the fence about making me a rum and coke.

>>13825087
Your gf drinks 1L glasses of stout?

>>13823999
Tyvm and yes, the Ruby Red Kolsch is the same price ($8.99/12pack) when it comes around and is also great. I recommend any anon who can get it in a couple of months to give it a try. The only Genesee seasonal that disappointed me lately was the 12 Horse Ale

>>13824666
this but unironically

>>13824233
Getting fat is why I quit drinking craft beer. Fucked up thing is that I didn’t even realize I was getting fat until some old stoner told me. I thanked him profusely and switched to Miller Lite

Don't forget the lowlands. Try a Glengoyne.

>>13820653

It tastes artificial somehow. Seriously, it's not bad, but comes across as processed somehow. Better scotch for the money out there.

How can I have alcohol delivered to me so I don't catch chinese flu?

anyone else stop drinking during this? when i drink i always blackout and fall hard and i dont wanna fuck something up and have to go to a hospital

>>13822266
Give it time. One dram and that's all for today.
Stick your nose in there for ages, until it's not so smokey anymore.
Leave out a glass after you've finished it and give it a whiff the next morning.
There are flavours other than smoke. Acclimatising to the smoky smell or being able to identify the other scents will help you see the attempt at balance.
IMO Ardbeg is sweet as fuck. Try to pick that up.

Forcing yourself to drink more wont help. You'll just resent it.
Getting drunk first might, since it dulls your sense of taste.

>>13825780
Anything over 60% kills the flu.

>>13824469
Some better alternatives are not drinking peppermint schnapps

>>13822292
Also, they can fill out a smaller meal than you'd normally eat to make provisions stretch further.

Either this with ginger beer or just by itself

>>13815600
Bud Ice 40 fl oz for $2.69

Butterscotch schnapps. Put it in your coffee as a sugar replacement.

a proper white negroni unlike you cheapos

>>13827900
>a proper negroni
>using a gin where juniper isn't the dominant flavor

Taaka vodka 100 proof mixed with lemonade. Gunna be grilling tomorrow, getting my pre-game on today.

I made the mistake of trying something new. This stuff is absolutely disgusting, it tastes like rotting plums. What the fuck were they thinking? I wish I could throw this bottle through the window of their head office.

Should've just stuck with scotch instead of thinking that now is a good time to be adventurous.

You're worse at using alcohol than the majority of people. Quitting is good for you. Don't assume it's true for everyone.

Op I'll do you a favour buy two titos bottles for the price of grey goose and mail me one

I got this two days ago on a whim. Now I'm reading some reviews and it seems like I've fucked up. Has anyone tried it before?

>>13827967

I'm a (dry) alcoholic and have gone to the hospital several times for withdrawal and detox. I've had a few seizures. Just quitting can kill you, don't fuck around. Eat food, hydrate, and taper

>>13829579
After trying it it isn't the worst I've had. As someone that isn't used to drinking alcohol I can keep it down well. I can't taste any maple though. I like it more than Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey because it isn't too sweet.

Kirkland signature vodka mixed with Kirkland signature grape fruit seltzer. It's more drinkable than white claw.

Stoli used to be my go to until I tried a bottle of this. It's legitimately better than any vodka I've had, nevermind cheaper than pretty much anything. Is there anything better? I've heard Luksusowa and Chopin are comparable.

Have to go out tomorrow to get two handles of 80 proof. Three buses. I will wear gloves and a mask made out out of a scarf. But, shit. Cold turkey would kill me faster than Corona.

If you use it on surfaces, sure.
You make it sound like ingesting alcohol will have an affect on an infection in your lungs, which it won't.

bro ya gotta breathe that shit. Fumigate ya lungs

There is no good reason to inhale alcohol apart from pleasing the schadenfreude of anon, and raw ethanol in the lungs (with associated impurities) will cause permanent damage to your body long before it will disinfect your lungs. Well, even more immediate and permanent than chronic drinking:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMSgoppbXiU&t=4m59s

Sorry for being the world's biggest unbased faggot, but I've got the creeping feeling someone in a thread dedicated to inebriation might end up taking your words at face value. And more pragmatically, its not like they would posting in that state, so we wouldn't find out.

The only reason I reposted it was to add a timestamp to the part where he literally goes over the health effects of inhaling alcohol, since I know people here are probably not going to watch 5 minutes to get to that part.

I don't think that I was wrong, given that you rejected it based on it being the same video without looking any deeper.

>>13830268
>implying people were going to click your link to begin with.

If no one does, that's just fine.
If someone does, it could at least be mildly interesting, and might persuade them not to huff alcohol just because it sounded ebin.

>Finlandia
>Russian Standard
What would you cu/ck/s recommend?

>>13823123

Honestly skinny bitch is the shit (vodka + soda), throw in a slice of lime and keep drinking! no headache tomorrow too!

>>13828074
real men drink pussers rum! they supplied the british navy until they decided that seamen didnt need a daily rum ration to operate boats. fucking budget cuts baka

blacked out my first time alone with this bottle. finished a whole overproof bottle by myself. i would be proud if i could remember it.

I haven't drank in about two months now after drinking like a fish for 11-12 years and barely ever being sober. Went through shit like seizures and hallucinations multiple times from WDs. My life was absolutely fucked and I was on my death bee. Still am fucked in the ass with alcoholism debt.

I can't believe it's finally over after all this time, for now anyway. I never want to go down that path and I don't envy other alcoholics going through it during what's happening right now. I've heard they're closing liquor stores after Easter weekend here.

Godspeed my alchy brothers and sisters.

get yourself some high proof and dilute it yourself. much better taste and more control over the overall ABV.

Just HOW did you manage that? like a bottle of cheap stuff gets you through the day. like any alcohol is cheaper then (almost) any other drug.

>>13830670
Fernet and Coke is great, but Fernet and hot chocolate is the way.

>>13815600
got abso minced off some Beam last night and prollt the same tonight

If I didn't particularly love Highland Park 12, is scotch not for me? Tbh the smokey/salty scotches that people talk about sound interesting to me, but they also say they're not for beginners and recommend stuff like HP12 instead. But HP12 is so boring. Why is smoke/brine not beginner friendly? I feel like those notes are fairly well liked, unless the scotches don't actually taste like smoke/salt and those are only fancy descriptors that don't actually mean anything.

>>13830803
second. I like rye and bourbon in general, but having just tried this for the first time yesterday, I'm impressed as fuck. One of the best tasting ryes out there, by far. Certainly the best tasting I've ever had that wasn't a limited edition barrel age whatever meme.

I bought 5 handles of everclear 151 "for survival uses". On my second one and I am shocked at how well this mixes with everything. It has no taste at all

>>13816417
Vitamin D because your fucked up liver isn't producing it or w/e, Milk Thistle to help that liver filter your blood, Fish oil for your heart, and Dr. Christopher kidney pills because you prob aren't drinking enough water. Try to use low sodium v8/tomato juice or no sugar added cranberry juice as mixers.

>>13830838
As a Canadian that was going through several bottles of hard liquor daily for a very, very long time. I also haven't worked since 2017.

yeah it's the ultimate mixer, they even sell it that way now to prevent lawsuits i suppose. too bad you could only get the 151 not the real stuff, though

Liquorstorefag here, Everclear is more requested than Blanton's now because morons are trying to make hand sanitizer out of it. We sold out of Tito's last week for the same reason. Alcoholics are really giving stoners a run for their money as the most obnoxiously stupid substance abusers.
