You know, it actually helped me quite a bit through last year. Sometimes you need a break, blocking things out with booze can give you this brake. I had so much shit crashing down on me at once, I needed to sort it at a slower pace. Alcohol always puts me in a good mood, no matter how depressed I was before, weird.CC-Marley wrote:

Wouldn´t recommend ever though.
So I had a headache before I went out last night, and woke up today with one at least three times worse.
I don't think this one is curable.

fair point i guess. i know the difference i just dont care. if it tastes good to me thats all i care about. if i go out to eat or to a bar i try some different beers. if i am just playing some battlefield with some friends then i want a nice constant low key buzz for hours...hence the cheap stuff.JohnG@lt wrote:

If I'm drinking to get drunk (which isn't all that often) then Bud Light is fine. If I'm just out having a few then I'd rather drink quality.11 Bravo wrote:

Lets be fair here. There is a difference between goose and lesser vodkas (which is what they usually give you in a club). It is however, like zeek said, mostly a status thing.. This is because an educated drinker has other options for similar taste and lower price.. BTW, the COSTCO branda vodka (Kirkland is the generic name) is VERY close in taste to grey goose. That ought to burst a few vodkayupster bubbles.Winston_Churchill wrote:

I don't consider Grey Goose as a status symbol, but rather as the best vodka on the market. Given your revelation of the Kirkland Vodka, which through more research I have discovered is a ridiculously cheap $29 per 1.75 liter bottle, I'll no longer consider branded Grey Goose the best option for a high quality vodka.Kmar wrote:

i've heard you can buy pretty cheap vodka then filter it at home and most people will not know the difference between it and a high-end vodka.
I can't really tell the difference, they all more or less taste like jet fuel anywayHurricane2k9 wrote:

I suppose, actually...sometimes it can be abit more watery and weaker

Grey Goose has no taste and has a warm, pleasant feeling in your throat, whereas cheap vodka like Rubinoff or Majorska tastes poisonous and burns when swallowed.
The more inebriated I get the less hard liquor burns.
That's why you put the good stuff away after the first few drinks!Hurricane2k9 wrote:

I've heard this as well, but what I don't understand is then why don't Smirnoff stick their fucking awful tasting vodka through one? If it's so easy to make great tasting vodka why doesn't everyone do it? Whatever your opinion of high-end vodkas, they DO taste better.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

I've never quite understood why Smirnoff wins tasting awards, I can only assume that professional vodka tasters prefer the taste of gasoline, whilst the rest of us prefer smoother, less awful tasting vodka's like Grey Goose and Belvedere.
Actually for all you honkeys that hate vodka, try some Ciroc. That stuff is incredible, it really lacks all the things people hate about vodka. Obviously drink it from the freezer, warm vodka is never good.
How does one filter vodka?
I assume it's more complicated than using something like filter-coffee paper.
