>Smirnoff
Consistently beats expensive vodka in blind taste tests.

>>16978021
It's not bad, but for 'poorfag extreme alcoholic', for me it's the Stroyski Russian Style.
It's like 10 bucks for the 80 proof 1.75L bottles.

>>16978021
Make it a half pint bottle of smirnoff and I'd agree. Alcoholc have no self control and no money, so they buy small increments to "regulate themselves"

>>16978037
I've got a dozen empty handles of stoli under my bed that disagrees with your sentiment.

i only drink stoli, smirnoff makes me sick, sadly stoli is a little bit more expensive

>smirnoff
No the fuck it isn't

>>16978025
It consistently ranks lowest. Even Popov beats it.

OK, fren.

>>16978097
>Drinks are part of eating
Yes, absolutely. But vodka is a shit-tier drink. It exists for two purposes: to make squatting Slavs feel better, or to make "fun" people drunk. It, being neutral, has no taste. It is, by definition, an add-on.

>>16978056
Thanks to fucky taxes in leafland, most vodkas are in the same price range at the provincial stores, so I find it hard to understand why people still go for Smirnoff when Stoli is only $2 more a bottle. Also we have smoother domestic vodkas like Silent Sam and Alberta Pure which are usually a dollar cheaper than Smirnoff.
I think it's just the brand recognition.

>>16978118
>It, being neutral, has no taste.
That's the bullshit American definition of vodka and only boomers believe that garbage.

>>16978134
Different anon, but I just drink it to get drunk.
What in your opinion is the proper way to think about vodka?
Teach me your ways o slav master.

>>16978138
Chilled and served with pickles. It's entirely possible to enjoy drinking vodka. Try different brands and compare their tastes; you'll learn good vodka certainly is far from having "no taste". Everything from the process used to make it, the type of grain used, and the water source affects the profile of a particular vodka.

>>16978147
Like with pickles on the side as a snack or do I stick a pickle wedge in my glass of vodka?

>>16978151
As a side, it serves as a palate cleanser between drinks.

>>16978021
Too expensive for proper alcos.

>>16978160
Oh, gotcha.

>>16978021
yeah well it chases off the suffocating feelings of melancholy and dread.

>>16978180
At least you're not using them as piss bottles.

>>16978097
Nobody drinks vodka with food. Unless you are a 76 year old man called Dimitri and live alone in a 1 room apartment in the grittiest ghetto in Moscow.

>>16978021
Nope, you’re thinking of Sobieski

>>16978208
>Nobody drinks vodka with food.
See, this is why you faggots all have crap perspectives on vodka. You pretend like it doesn't have flavour and then you don't even bother pairing it with complimentary snacks.

>>16978208

If you like vodka you like vodka. If vodka is in your culture then it is in your culture. Because I have no cultural or emotional ties to the stuff and am free to choose from a broad range of things I rarely choose vodka. I'm not blind to the fact that alcohol is a drug and when I consume it I do so because it is a drug, but I don't consume that much of it that often to have to worry about budget too much and I'd prefer to seek out something with a lot of flavour, character, story etc. I'm not saying that vodka has NO flavour. But compared to scotch or wine? I'm not saying vodka has no character or story, but again we aren't getting into grape variety or brewery origin story etc. As such for me high end vodka is a waste of the opportunity to buy and consume something more interesting. Low end vodka is a waste of the opportunity to buy and consume something that has a lot of flavour. All the mega alcoholics I know prefer vodka. I think it is because it is generally cheap, clean and doesn't have competing or conflicting tastes or shit you've got to think about. I don't think this is coincidental. I do have vodka in the house. I buy it because it is used in some cocktails. Generally though even in cocktails it is used because you don't want the character of a spirit to come through or as a relatively neutral alcohol booster which again give a nod to its character.

>>16978021
New Amsterdam was my pick when I was gone deep. It goes down even easier and smoother than Smirnoff, less flavor the better

>>16978403
Jesus Christ shut the fuck up you autist, nobody cares

Okay smirnoff shill

I poured some vanilla Smirnoff in my hot chocolate and it tasted pretty nice

For me it's Tito's
I always get looks when I grab my weekly handle at the corner store. Which honestly I find a bit odd considering half the store is alcoholic products or related.

>>16978021
>millennials dont know shit about mah everclear

>>16978021
Nah, extreme alcoholics buy illegal vodka in 5 liter plastic bottles, without taxes it more than 3x cheaper, or make their own moonshine, which is even more cheaper.

>>16978021
Come see me when you're scraping together quarters, nickels and dimes to buy picrel or, heaven forbid, something lower shelf. Glad I'm not at that point anymore.

>>16978403

That's for when you still have enough pride to want to be seen buying recognized brands. Call me when you're making mental calculations about price to pure alcohol content before you even consider what type of alcoholic beverage you're looking at.

>>16978634
Yeah, well, if I said ķiploku grauzdiņi you'd just make some other retardedly ignorant comment.

>>16978643
Why does this look so good? It's literally just a bowl of crusts...

>>16978653
It's dark rye bread fried in butter and garlic. It's a great snack for when you're drinking; it especially compliments beer or vodka.

>>16978660
I prefer snacks that don't comment on my beverages, favorably or otherwise.

>>16978134
>That's the bullshit American definition of vodka and only boomers believe that garbage.
Meanwhile ruskies smuggle it in windex bottles, and have the nerve to try and make everyone believe that something quickly distilled from potato deserves respect.

>>16978147
Had never really thought about this until recently, don't really drink that much vodka. Wanted a nostalgia trip and bought the world's cheapest vodka that I used to drink at field parties as a teen. Swear to fuck it had a handful of white sugar added to the fifth. Then I thought about Grey Goose, which to me tastes like it has a dash of hairspray in each bottle. Then there's Tito's which I actually really like, really smooth, not sweet, not chemically, but not "flavorless" either.

>>16978856
>t. Tito's shill
I will never understand how that garbage stays so popular.

>>16978883
I had one bottle like 6 years ago and didn't think it was awful like pretty much every other vodka. I drink beer most often and once in a while I buy a bottle of Bulleit. Probably only had three bottles of vodka in the last 15 years. Hell, the only reason I bought the Tito's was for my dad's birthday because he drinks vodka pretty regularly and the bottle looked neat. But then he was an asshole and I drank it instead.

Why does everybody drink vodka and not their national variant of cheap hard liquor? I buy a bottle of grappa once or twice a week, it's 5 euros for a bottle of a decent one

>>16978953
In most countries taxation makes a lot of them quite similar in price so you might as well drink what you like. You can argue that supply chains, national specialisation etc should make the local stuff cheapest, but industrial distillation makes sure the production of bulk non-aged spirit without stipulation of ingredients is going to be cheap in any developed country. Also, does anybody drink grappa and coka?

>>16978953

Piss off faggot.

why is vodka even called vodka, why does it have a slav name, it's just the most basic industrial product of distillation
like gin is flavored vodka, why didn't they have a name for the thing they were putting the flavor in

people taste the vodka?
i just mix it with 80 cent store brand diet soda
vodka isnt some high quality barrel aged shit, it's fucking rubbing alcohol

Vodka tastes amazing with some Russian black bread and pickled herring

>>16978021
I might as well ask here.

In theory, if I got a high proof, 100% barley vodka, and an oak cask, and put the vodka into the cask for a few years and even swirled it around every so often, is it likely to produce a decent whiskey?

When you are making something like whisky you want to use a still that impacts character. When you are making something like vodka you want to use a still that is clean and efficient and removes character. While what you describe is something you could do and would work in some fashion, it is unlikely to produce a decent whiskey.

I'm not even going to romanticise whisky either. They usually take whatever distillate they produce using whatever plant they've got and while they make a song and dance about providence and heritage etc most of them are large industrial factories using the cheapest genetically modified barley available and stick it into the cheapest first fill ex bourbon or second fill whisky barrels. The more premium stuff might get a second 'finishing' cask, like rum (usually they use white rum to 'wash' casks to soften the wood character prior to filling with whisky, so the rum finish in this case is usually inferior, not like dark rum, that shit is flavoured, coloured, sweetened etc after it leaves barrels) and sherry or cognac or port etc which are quite specialist and difficult to source.

Bourbon has to be from fresh barrels. So the industry produces tons of used barrels which are no longer any good. Fresh barrels are too harsh for whisky so they use the ex bourbon barrels and ex rum barrels though the rum industry and no such stipulation so produce comparatively fewer barrels. Everybody wants sherry and port barrels because that industry reuses them or repairs them and has no need to replace or renew so they rarely enter the market and not as a waste product.

>>16980308
Why would bums drink this swill when it's only 17.5 percent? You can buy a pint of Popov for like 3 dollars max and you'll get much drunker. I think this stuff is made for college students instead of bums.

>>16980296
This is small potatoes shit. You'll be fine. Get back to me when you can slam a pint of hard liquor and still crave more.

>>16980390
Bums don't drink that shit. It is like a hangover from a long gone era when that was the alcopop of a generation. People assume bums drink MD 20/20. They don't drink that either, that was just another alcopop for another generation.

Worked in a liquor store for five years. There are many breeds of alcoholics, but one of the most prevalent and annoying were the kind who every morning would buy something like a 200ml-375ml flask, come back in the afternoon to buy a little more, and then usually returned in the evening to buy yet another.

I guess it did work for them, they were buzzed all day, but they weren't really wasted.

>tfw buy a fifth of bacardi limon and some propels for my hangover tomorrow
>fresh faced clerk doesn't card me
woof, I'm busted
If you drink smirnoff I don't understand you. The hangover is unbearable, makes you sweat like a slave and roll around all possessed swearing off alcohol. At least rum is kinder the next day if you are going to do it a lot

I've been trying to cut out beer and started buying three olives 1.75, they are usually $18.99 and it's the best I've found at that price point. Anyhow, get a really big glass, like 32 oz or so. Fill completely with ice, half vodka, a splash of grapefruit juice and fill to the top with topo chico water. Low calorie, you can get fucked up for a long time and not have too bad of a hangover. Enjoy alcoholism

>>16978021

>>16980296
Are you still eating along side it? If so, whatever. You're not consuming that much alcohol if its over the entire day. The bigger question at that point is is it stopping you from doing stuff you want to be doing or living a good life?

There’s two Smirnoffs. The American one was founded by the original Smirnov family who fled Russia after the Red Revolution. The one in Europe was founded by the people who took over the old Smirnov vodka distillery. They operate independently and have an agreement to share the name and history so long as they don’t sell in each other’s markets.

Not that guy but plenty of premium vodkas retain a taste - gray goose still still has its grain taste, many still have malt tastes to them or some fruit or spice from the yeast. Some can be utterly fucked up by whatever wash is used on the flips side, some places will rely on time and still calibration to take cuts, others will use temperature, others no real technique.
Ive never tasted imported Russian or vodka taste of heads or overly of tails. Maybe they sell the crap domestically, or use it for brake cleaner.

Have you priced out bottles?
A bottle like that, wholesale, probably $6-$7. So right off the bat you have a $7 premium on your bottle of flavorless alcowater. that would buy you an entire handle of everclear and everclear is twice as strong anyway.

Popov is $9.99 / handle here and is surprisingly neutral for bottom shelf vodka, mixes well without that ether and gasoline funk.

Smirnoff is not the alcoholic special because other hard liquors are cheaper.

lel.
I live in a town full of people like that.
I can't tell any difference between the liquor store people and the rest of the people.
I'm not saying I'm normal either, I fit right in.

I drank 13 6% 500ml beers on Saturday night. When I woke up the next day I felt a little bit bad, but no real hangover. However I felt immense guilt about it.

How did you have time to drink all those beers everyday and also not piss yourself everyday?

best cheap wodka here

>You ever wake up from a hangover of half a handle of bottom shelf?
Yeah, I ate a can of sardines and caught the Andy Griffith show on TV and waited it out. The last thing on my mind was having another drink

I'm an alcoholic and I do vodka because it has the minimum incidence of hangover, as well as being very budget-friendly. Simple as. Drinkable whiskey costs twice as much as drinkable vodka.

I'm not a beer fan but i like vodka cocktails a lot. My sister brought me some vodka coolers from her vacation in canada. WHAT THE HELL. why the hell are these things illegal in the USA. they're so tasty and just as low alchohol as beers. I know it's easy to just make yourself but toting around bottles of opened vodka is illegal (in my state anyway). bros what the fuck

I like titos a lot as well. I wish the corner store at my friend's house i hang out at had actual liquor, and not just beers and whiteclaws and hyper diluted trash vodka. Holy fuck diluted vodka tastes so bad. 30-40+% or bust

anon thanks for showing me that this exists. looks so tasty im gonna try some next time i have a drink with my friends

>>16978037
No its because its easily concealable if you live with people also make it 100 proof smirnoff pints

All at once or over the day? I cannot imagine consuming 8-12 beers over less than 6 hours.

Most people in Australia guzzle locally produced wine over hard spirits.

6.5 liters is a lot of fluid

it's literally just distilled and filtered grain alcohol, doesn't have any taste at all

>>16993510
it's not distilled from juniper berries. it's distilled from grain, the berries are added later just for flavoring purposes

>not just a bottle of fucking denatured ethanol

>>16993759
Cheap where? I picked up a bottle here in Belgium once and it was comparable to the rest of the vodkas in my opinion. Esbjaerg is my cheap go-to. Ketel One is more expensive but gives me less of a hangover.

Well, about to lose my job for being an alcoholic. Still better at it than 95% of other folks but fair is fair. Planning on just drinking myself to death. I'm pretty much unemployable now. Wish me luck if that changes.

I think they are repurposed used water bottles. Remember, they're literally from Sierra Leone.

I drink a 6 pack every night. I have enough self control to limit it to just 6. Though tonight is the first time I threw away 1 at the liquor store, so I can begin drinking only 5.

Although it's not brewed from juniper the berries are added to the still. I think if you added juniper juice to vodka it would probably taste like pine resin rather than a car air freshener

Ah shit. Well hey, I became a pilot so that's something, right?
