Does anybody else see a sad clown face on that label?

If you manage to get buzzed/drunk off bitters before you get sick from drinking it straight, that’s impressive.

heh yeah moreso on the thumbnail

>>17522708
for me its vanilla extract

>>17522744
been there...just thinking about it makes my stomach hurt.

OP here. I've drank and eaten worse things to get drunk/high, angostura isn't shit to me. Went down like water, I'm not joking. I found it easier to drink than normal liquor.

>>17522708
The big issue is that after a certain consumption point, one of the ingredients in Angostura will give you the runs - it's the same thing with drinking too much Fernet Branca.

didn't happen with me at least, but I'm prescribed daily painkillers so that probably helped.

>>17523302
Huh, is that why fernet is served as a digestif?

>>17522708
I've known people who will drink a shot of bitters and fill the glass with club soda/mineral water then a squeeze of lime. Good way to get buzzed for cheap since most bars won't know how to charge you.

>>17522708
Yeah of course, I try everything straight. I've also drank it mixed with water as a kind of flavoured drink 'cause my dad knows I love bitters and he thought I might like it without alcohol while I do essays.

>drinking too much fernet branca
what a very niche thing

>>17522708
damn that looks delicious

I've had cocktails using angostora as the base spirit, they're actually quite good.

>>17524063
This is an amazing idea.

Based and positivity pilled.

Bitters and especially Vanilla extract are pretty expensive for the volume. Why not just get a flask of vodka?

>>17522708
$9 buys a gallon bag of wine
just do 30min of yard work or odd jobs for a neighbour or friend and you're good to go

>>17522719
Here, right?

>>17525159
I'M GOONING

>>17522708
never tried it myself, but there's a bar on the wisconsin peninsula where taking shots of bitters is the thing. started as some way to get around prohibition, but kept going as tradition.

>>17523326
Unless you drank the entire bottle it was probably not gonna happen.

>>17523929
Yeah, pretty much.

>>17525289
do they make specialty bitters for drinking that arent as strong, perhaps something close to absinthe or a stronger gin, or do they use regular bitters?

>>17522708
>have you ever drank angostura bitters straight?
Not straight but I've been in a similar situation.
Dig up a couple loose coins from behind your couch, haul ass to the grocery store and get as much of the cheapest brand of energy drink plus bottle of lemon concentrate (those bright yellow things, image related) you can get. Use a mix of experience and googling to get this as cold as you can without exploding.

Three squeezes of concentrate into pre-chilled glass.
Mix with two shot's worth of bitters.
Top with energy drink.
Serve with plastic straw. This is a drink for slurping not sipping.
Voila. Poverty cocktail done smooth.
>it's in fact better than the infamous Jägerbomb because it's vastly lighter and more tart

Fernet is the best hair of the dog. I've also never had a hangover from it. Great stuff.
