What is /ck/ drinking tonight? Also, I paid $17 freedom units for this handle of rum, was that a fair price or did I get ripped? What is a fair price for a handle of rum?

$17 GBP ain't bad for that bottle. Tonight is just gonna be cheap vodka with some kinda mixer. Nothing fun.

There is no fair price. 90% of what you're paying is probably tax anyway. Always keep that in mind when buying spirits. The actual cost of the liquid itself before tax is pennies.

Why the fuck can't i get drunk from anything? I went out tonight and was matching my friend's drink for drink and sometimes having 2 to there 1. I don't drink often (maybe 2 or 3 nights a month) due to epilepsy medication but I never have hangovers, never puke, never get headaches or feel bad like the rest of my friends.

ewww bacardi white taste like fruity skunk butt holes, at least buy gold, better yet try the bacardi 8 year it actually acceptable. but you should try El Dorado 12 year for the same price (maybe the 8 year if you want it less sweet and cheaper priced ) after that try some wild turkey 101 and you'll never touch rum again

Leaf here, I know that feel. Just bought a 1.14L bottle of Alberta Premium and it cost $40.90. And that's a cheap brand of whiskey (although if you ask me, it's good enough).
I hate sin taxes, but they honestly sort of work. I'd take up smoking, but that and drinking would bankrupt me.
