>stomach ache in a bottle: the alcohol

I don't know how people can get drunk off that. I'll drink a bottle and feel sober, just ill.

vodka is a literal meme drink

Chopin rye straight.
Russian standard for mixed drinks.
Luksusowa for getting drunk.

>>7429890

Sounds like you're buying some really nasty vodka then.

>>7429892
>>7429890
How would you rank the sprites you like? Is there anything redeeming in vodka you could think of

>>7429899
no, vodka is a literal meme drink

>>7429905
This food meme-meme should be a bannable offense solely because it's pointless noise and plain stupid.

>>7429893
What are your favorite cocktails then friend

I've always done 2/3 Cranberry juice and 1/3 vodka

>>7429882
>I personally like Stolichnaya
yeah Stoli's pretty good. Stolichnaya Gold is great, too. my other faves are Chopin potato, Ketel One, and Luksusowa is the best cheap one (without getting into Taaka/Aristocrat level cheapness)

i usually just sip my vodka on the rocks, sometimes with a lemon twist

>>7429920
Honestly just bloody marys or vodka tonics.

>>7429926
Also Moscow mules

I'm thinking of making some vodka of my own.

What's the cheapest source of medical alcohol?
What's your take on boiling pondwater instead of using fluoridated tapwater?

I'll put it in a matte bottle with a Russian eagle on it and make millions.

>>7429882

Personally i cant really stomache vodka anymore. Too many irresponible nights in high school left me repulsed by the stuff. However i had vodka tonic with titos last night ang was honestly suprised with the taste of it. Same price range as sky but infinitely more palatable.

vodka, the official drink of cucks

>>7429931
i know your post is in jest, but isopropyl alcohol =/= ethyl alcohol

>>7429882
New drinker here as well!

Ive tried beers, I have some allergy to the ones ive had so I bloat and get stuffy nosed. Dont like them. Wines all taste worse than hard liquer IMO as well.

Rum gives me massive headaches while drinking it - independent of brand.

Basically vodka never gives me a hangover and I have no allergy. That said Ive had about four brands only. All budget, Id include absolute (lol womens drink xd) and that super cheap one forgot its name. Nikol or something?

All taste the same though flavored Smirnoff has more flavor than other vodkas Drink them all straight.

>>7429926
I may go for groceries tomorrow so how about your own personal recipes for those drinks? if any added flare

thanks for the replies

oh vodka is great.

you got stolichnaya, sobieski for great value for money. russian standard is alright too, bit pricey.

i go through a pint of gordons vodka a day. fantastic value for money. like 5 bucks.

>>7429939
My main trouble with rum is the bananas after taste I get. Sailor Jerry is the only thing I can stomache. Do not like

>>7429942
Vodka, tonic, lime slice
Vodka, ginger beer, lime slice
Vodka, bloody mary mix, garnish with olives or pickles or beef sticks. If you want to make your own bloody mary mix I'd recommend letting it sit in the fridge for a day. As for recipes just Google it. Mine is pretty basic. I get heartburn easy so I don't spice it up too much.

>>7429939
Try gin or white rum.
Or better, wine.

>>7429977
Thanks my man, appreciated.

>>7429922
Feels good to see someone approve, Ketel One is available where i'm from so i'll definitely check that out but the others i'm going to have to look for.

>>7429882
>I personally like Stolichnaya

Stoli, Absolut, Tito's are all fine. Vodka mixes well with almost everything (NOT apple juice and NOT root beer).

Distilled alcohol wipes me out. Not worth it. I'll stick with wine. Maybe some decent beer once a month.

>>7430030
A cocktail you would make for yourself right now if you were to?

What would you say are the shittiest vodkas you've tasted

Nikolai is the best. The cheapest 2 senpai.

This is the best vodka in it's price range, always highly reviewed and better than grey goose

I paid $15 after tax for this bottle

If you're having females over this spring break or summer here's the drink to get them wasted without even knowing it.
Get a nice juice carafe put in a 3/4 cup vodka. Then fill the rest with equal parts cranberry cocktail, Orange juice and sprite. I call it the poor man's wine cooler. Pour over ice play the drums radio on Pandora and just roll in the pussy!!

>>7430074
This is actually one of my favorite liquors in this price range

>>7430077
Thanks man, what's your name? i'll be sure to name my illegitimate child after you

>>7430074
>grey goose
Grey Goose is mid-tier at best, and overpriced as fuck and only exceptional from a marketing standpoint

>>7430081
>This is actually one of my favorite liquors in this price range
agreed

not to hijack the thread, but for any other poorfags wanting a decent liquor cabinet:
>vodka
Luksusowa
>rum
Bacardi Gold
>whisky
Evan Williams Black Label (bourbon)
>Gin
Bombay (original, not Sapphire, which is imo an inferior product akin to Grey Goose)

Euros might want to consider Gordon's as their budget gin as I've read that it is much better than the Gordon's they sell in the states, and I don't think the Gordon's here is all that bad. Makes for a decent Martini and Gin & Tonic, which is all that you really need from a gin.

>>7430111
I actually hate grey goose, this is just a beginner vodka thread so I thought I'd compare it to a popular vodka

>>7430077
that sounds like rape anon ...

why not just use a roofie if you want that

>>7430111
New Amsterdam actually makes a decent gin for fairly cheap. Just for an alternative to Bombay

>>7430111
OP here and thanks, Bombay was what I was usually going for in Gin. Shame I don't think i'll ever see those others.. where are you from?

Brought this bottle (Graf Ledoff) back from Russia. Haven't had a chance to open it yet. Anyone know how good it is? I saw it in a Russian film so it must be relatively popular.

>>7430123
>where are you from?
USA, currently Boston. It's a semi-major city, a bit small though, so availability is not a problem most of the time though I can't really find Evan Williams Black Label up here. I like to keep a bottle around since it's a great mixer and decent straight, but the one place I did find it closed down awhile back.

>>7430153
Cheers friend you're way too far from where i'm from, I would love to try that bourbon though

If I were to grab a bottle it would be Bulliet bourbon but that would be another thread

>>7430165
I'm drunk but if you're implying you can't find Luk you'd probably be wrong.

I'm from hodunk west virginia and it's in BOTH liquor stores.

>>7430302
No friend

talk to me

>>7430335
Jesus loves you

>>7429882
I normally get New Amsterdam. Fifth for $10 at CVS

I normally just chase it with water. If I'm out and about I get beer or a gin and tonic normally. Vodka is my drink alone liquor. Sometimes I'll do a screwdriver

>>7430353
sit with me my friend

lets repent

bump

>>7429882
I prefer kraken rum to vodka, its so much smoother and when you drink it you look like much less of a pussy 2b-honest homeslice

>>7430432
/ck/ is slow as fuck, you don't need to bump after 10 minutes.

>>7430449
alright friend, thanks no more bumps after this

unlesss someone wants to talk vodka

>>7429882
i like that it's cheap as shit and gets me piss drunk, that is all

vodka is great

>>7429882
Stoli and Titos unless you're sucking up to some bitch that asks what's in your wallet as soon as she meets you then it's the fru fru bullshit.

>>7430480
what drinks do you like

All I drink is straight vodka. It tastes like shit but its the least offensive taste. Beer tastes good but fuck drinking so much liquid, I'm just trying to get drunk fast.

>>7429951
Same. Pint of vodka a day.

How about Svedka, anons? I've never had it but I heard it's good and I'd like to know what you think of it.

>>7430698
I think it's OK. A little more expensive than bottom shelf but its still cheap. It's noticeably better than bottom shelf.

>>7429931
>medical alcohol?
If you buy ethanol while working at a university, paid through a grant, you can get 200 proof ethanol, tax-free. I'm not sure if that require our DEA license # (I don't think it did), but, there are legitimate reasons for having anhydrous alcohol.

Stealing that would be fucking retarded and unethical as shit, of course. You can legally get plastic bottle rotgut and charcoal filter it without ruining your career.

I fucking hate vodka. It's what my dad drank before he beat the shit out of me

>pic related
>tfw I smell it

>>7430764
Pussy ass nigga

>>7430698

>>7430728 is pretty much spot on. Svedka is alright, but at that price bracket I'd rather get Luksusowa, Sobieski, or even Smirnoff

>>7429932
>titos

Best quality for price. But, I go even cheaper when mixing. Svedka's okay for a screwdriver. Right after college I used to occasionally buy a fifth of Burnett's as utility liquor for a Hot Toddy during winter.

>>7430753
O-or distill the water-contaminated ethanol and dump a kilogram of magnesium sulfate into it and redistill desu!!

>>7430801
>Hot Toddy
>not bourbon

c'mon man

>>7430809
I agree. I was told hot toddys should always be made with bourbon.

Top Tier Polish Vodka...Illegal in USA due to FDA regulations regarding the blade of grass in the bottle

>>7430827
Aahahahahahahahahahaha ameritard logic.
Good vodka, only vodka I will drink.

help me /ck/

i drank two hours ago, still feel a slight buzz and want to drink more

is it ok...i mean it feels weird to get kinda drunk, stop drinking, and then drink again. like does that fuck with your body, in a way that just drinking constnatly at once does not?

>>7430935
nah, surprising your body is good for you. at least that's what Buddhist martial artists think

>mfw nobody has mentioned my drink of choice.

>>7430928
t. Muhammed Ali-Ahmed \infty

Sobieski.

>>7430979
Not too many people out there chugging cum, I'd imagine

>>7431062
Haha nice burn niggerooni

>>7431008
What does this mean?

My friends

>>7430827
I bought it at the liquor store down the road a month ago

>>7429882
Gummy Worm infused Vodka ftw!

>>7429882
This one I received from a polish friend is pretty sweet...
Jezyna = Blackberry, slightly flavored

>>7431803
The kind sold in the US isn't the same as you'd get in Poland. It has the coumarin removed to comply with regulations. Honestly, it's probably a good thing since I don't see why you'd want to have a blood thinner and hepatotoxin mixed with alcohol. It's not the same product, though.

It's nothing way too amazing if you drink your vodka straight, but it's damn good for $20 a handle.

I tend to use vodka in cocktails and such, so the base quality is high enough that it works very well for me.

>>7432801
God damn Ameritards

>those rare moments when eastern europe can shine

>>7432801
Exactly, not to mention it also has nearly 60% hydrogen monixide in it too.
How could anyone drink something that kills thousands of people every year?
I buy everclear and re-distill it at home for maximum purity.

>>7430030
>>7430482
I used to say svedka was the best for the price but ever since trying Titos, I can't go back. I haven't tried Luks though, so I'll try and pick some up next time I'm out.

>>7429882
i got the 100 proof version in my freezer

love vodka.. stoli or pic related

grey goose if i'm feeling fancy

are you feeling fancy

>>7429899
>redeeming

The best mixing alcohol. Pour into any drink (coffee, juice, beer, cocktails) to spice it up without fucking up the taste.

The New York Times dining section did a blind tasting panel of 21 different vodkas back in 2005. Smirnoff scored the highest.

Unless something tastes straight up foul like Absolut, the difference between rail vodka like Smirnoff and expensive premium shit like Ciroc or Grey Goose is just marketing and price tag. People think "this costs more, therefore it tastes better".

Just buy Smirnoff.

>>7430753
> 200 proof ethanol

I didn't think it was possible to distill ethanol to 100% purity. Thought it topped out at 96%/192 proof.

>>7433057

It's not possible to reach that by distillation alone, but it is possible when other processes are applied after distillation.

I've only ever bought Smirnoff, tastes fine to me and I'm mostly mixing it anyway so doesn't matter much what I get.

been drinking this for the last few years mostly, i suck down a handle on the weekend and chase it with some of them peach and strawberry flavored sparkling waters from walmarts on an empty stomache and get drunk in the wunk! :D

>>7429882
>I know Vodka gets clowned on mostly for being discount and whatever
It gets clowned on because the people who drink vodka hate flavor.

Once vodkababbies grow up they move on to gin at the very least; maybe they'll even make it to whiskey or to absinthe soon thereafter.

>>7429952
>banana aftertaste
This sounds delicious, please tell me which brands you have been trying

>>7430698
Good value. So it's not the best vodka, but you get the most quality for what you're spending. It's a lot better than any other $17 vodka.

>>7429882
>I'd like to know what /ck/ likes about it
it gets me fucked up when I drink it

>>7433052
Ciroc is actually pretty good and different tasting because it's made with grapes? I think. Something like that.

The only vodkas I like are Smirnoff and Moskovskaya. I exclusively drink them with based Pepsi Max.

>>7429882
I enjoy a grey goose & tonic sometimes or even just grey goose on the rocks
I don't really care much for vodka but grey goose is very smooth

>>7429914

The complaining about memes-meme needs to stop

>>7430470
this. lmao at people spending 40 bucks on a bottle of vodka. it isn't rum or whiskey where there may actually be significant variety of flavors and quality

>>7433715
>lmao at people spending 40 bucks
The bottle of the barrel shit is that expensive here in Canuck land

>>7429882
you have patrician taste

that is to say for mainstream vodkas sold in most stores. my dad has a russian patient who brought russian vodka that came with a solid stalk of grass in the bottle. shit was vicious, and shit was the most solid and distant vodka ive ever tasted. that kind of vodka does magic by itself. do not mix great vodka, but with stuff like you posted i can see mixing with. still good by itself tho

if anyone knows what im talking about, there was a bear on the bottle and tape over the cap to show authenticity. i would love if someone would tell me the name if they know

>>7433766
sorry, from poland. and i just saw on wiki the vodka. still standing by my opinion tho, it was so awesome

>>7433715
No there's a significant difference in quality.

The higher end Vodkas, Belvedere, Neft, Absolut Elyx, Russian Standard, they go down so smooth even when consumed neat. You get little flavors, notes of rye, wheat. Good stuff all around.

I drink that stuff straight or as a Vodka Martini. If I'm making mixed drinks like Bloody Mary or a Greyhound I'll use them as well for that. But if it's a drink that's being largely overtaken by large amounts of sugar like a Screwdriver I'll use good old Smirnoff.

>>7433766
Are you talking about this? >>7430827
I know that's not a bear, but you mistook Poland for Russia anyway so...

I'm glad to see Sobieski slowly taking its place as the patrician choice for standard vodka. Smirnoff is the standard for a reason, because it's everywhere, inoffensive, and cheap, but Sobieski is better for the same price.

But if you EVER see Wyborowa, Wybo for short, get that. It's not common to find but it's a beautifully smooth, flavorful rye vodka for practically the same price as Smirnoff. Luxury shit. The best.

You'll eventually come to the point where you don't give a fuck about the brand as long as it hits.
Welcome to the world of vodka. Worst hangover I had was from this bad boy. About $10 for a 1.75

I have Stolichnaya and Russian Standard
What mixed drinks can I make with them?
I usually just drink them straight. I have some orange juice and lime

>>7429928
What's a good ginger beer for them?

>>7430117
Not him but you want messy horns low inhibitions not ko'd sack of potatoes

>>7430764
>not beating him in revenge

>>7429882
Luksusowa or Russian Standard Platinum - those are good quality Vodkas that are available in my area.

Grey Goose is hipster stuff that isn't any better than either of those despite the price premium.

Other cheaper vodkas I have tried are notably worse - including regular Russian Standard.

>>7430111
>Gin

Just don't fuck around - Hendricks is by far so much better than anything else at price/quality that it isn't even funny. If you're just looking to get shitfaced buy something else - if you want to drink good gin at the best price point buy Hendricks.

>>7429890
I drink the cheapest shit at the store no problem, man up.

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23a36ddZMqw
Never been fan of vodka before, but.
Bought this stuff for white russians, ended up liking it more straight freezer cold.

>>7434207
I drink cheap as shit whiskey straight no problem, it's just vodka that makes me sick.

>>7433561
Appleton Estate, Bacardi and Captain Morgan

>>7434093

>>7429882
there is so much fake coiniseurship in vodka, most "experts" fail a blind taste test

russian standard is my preferred vodka, stoly after that
I like mine with soda and lime as a chaser because it cleans the palate
mixed with cranberry juice is good (not reconstituted cranberry or cordial)
OJ isn't for me, but it has merit

I don't think there is anything wrong with flavored vodkas either,

honestly though I prefer white rum over vodka

Stoli is my go to
Zubrowka if im in the mood for something different (with apple juice it's amazing)
Belvedere if I'm celebrating, as it is pretty pricey

Iiwas thinking about a bottle of Crystal Head just for a cool piggybank after I got fucked up

does this thread like this stuff

>>7434497
forgot pic

>>7434501
imo nothing special for the price,I feel the premium paid is for the bottle

>>7434497
>he bought the gimmick liquor

>>7434516
didn't buy it yet, if anything like this anon said >>7434507 i'd be buying it for the bottle

Smirnoff is the only vodka I like, but every hard liquor sends a shiver down my spine because of the sheer amount of times I've drank until vomiting.

>>7434497

>piggybank

Do people really have loose change anymore?

I can't remember the last time I've even seen a coin.

Monopolowa

vodka is pretty nasty IMO f4m, so i don't drink it

>>7434059
i never see that. always get the aristocrat one. like 11 bucks.

lasts a pretty long time too, like 3 days most of the time

>>7431052

>>7434093
usually get my shit from the ethnic section in grocery stores. it comes in a green 2l bottle

seen some fancy glass bottles in gas stations, but those are like 2 bucks a bottle, fuck that

FYI anon-kuns ITT:

If you buy mid range vodka and filter it through activated carbon a total of 5+ times, you get high end vodka.

>>7435398
I often do as the bank rates are ridiculous with me.

Most times at convenience though i'll just tell the cashier to keep the change or end up giving it to one of the bums outside the liquor mart just so I don't have the hassle of carrying around change. If I had a neat piggybank at home it would give me a goal to get it filled.

>>7433839
>or as a Vodka Martini.
Is that like, vodka in a conical glass?
People seem allergic to actually making martinis these days, but they still want to say they drink them.

>>7431997

>>7435398
>Do people really have loose change anymore?
umm...

>>7436289
looks to be about 9 bucks

>>7434093
Cock and Bull or Maine Root are what I get. A lot of liquor stores carry some brands in their mixer section. Grocery stores have them in the pop aisle

>>7436289

Yuropoors have coin denominations that are actually useful, though.

I think it's so strange that Vodka is considered "unmanly" in the US. Makes no sense at all. Truly the land of fedoralords

>>7436333
>Vodka is considered "unmanly" in the US

just two random examples, but I've heard it before

>>7436354

Spiced rum is basically a girly drink.

Don't take college students posting on /ck/ who just started drinking as representative of anything.

How do people even enjoy alcohol? I tried it the other day and it is the same descusting think as cough medicine. How can people down this stuff, none the less enjoy it?

>>7436377
>descusting think
Pay attention in school and learn to spell and maybe when you grow up to be a big boy, you too can learn to enjoy alcoholic beverages with the rest of the adults.

>>7436377

>tfw already killed your liver drinking cough syrup and can now only enjoy mediocre, high proof liquor

>>7436333
It's this weird mindset that clear liquors are for women. I don't get it and don't give a shit.

>>7436362
>drink traditionally drank by sailors, Pirates and brigands
>girly drink.

It's the second manlyiest drink Der wiskey

>>7436362
What about rum flavored rum?

>>7436416

Just because the popular brands have a pirate on the label doesn't mean that's what pirates drank...

Most spiced rum is plastic handle flavored vodka tier, only far more expensive.

>>7429882
luksusowa vodka is decent and cheap, good if you like potato vodka

>>7436416
Pirates were notorious cock sucking faggots ya know, all those long days at sea and all
