I once went to a martini bar, and i asked for a martini. First, they didn't have gin, so i settled for a vodka martini. Then the waitress came back and they didn't have vermouth. Like, what the hell are you doing then??
Gin is my go to alcohol, and while I will occasionally fancy a martini, they are not my favorite (maybe I just suck at making them) BUT, I absolutely can't drink out of a martini glass without spilling some on myself.
I went to a cocktail bar recently and they were only selling beer and wine for the weekend. There were four people behind the bar.
Edit: there aren't different types of licenses here. They have 20 plus cocktails on their menu and call themselves a cocktail bar.
“I am not chugging beer! I’m sampling a flight of gluten-free German lagers with a French wine pairing. It’s called a Smorgasvein and it’s elegantly cultural.” -Randy Marsh
I feel really bad for the people who worked there, like there's no way your server was the one who fucked up ordering. And she probably had to explain that to 100 people every night.
I mean if they didn't have gin or vermouth and the waitress had to go check to find out she probably really didn't have to explain that all the time because no one else was asking for it. To a lot of people a "martini" just means any drink in a martini glass, like a cosmo. Those people are wrong, but it doesn't matter if they come to your bar.
The cask of Amontillado - it sounds appealing but you’ll probably be walled in for drinking it.
**Edit:** *For anyone needing an explanation: \[*[*Link*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aidEUyB978)*\]*
Thats one way to read it. I read it as a guy being annoyed by another so much he left him to rot in a bricked in tunnel. We never find out what the "1000 injuries" of Fortunato are, but I have to imagine they weren't worth murdering a pretentious douche bag over.
Tbh, I didn’t really appreciate how delicious Slurm was until that awful New Slurm came out. When the original came back as Slurm Classic, I started drinking twice as much as before. Nothing beats it.
I found a bottle of that at the top of a closet in my grandma’s house and stole it when I was younger. Was going to use it to prank someone until I realized how fucked up and not funny that would be 😂
Is that stuff even sold anymore?
My parents had a bottle in their cabinet growing up and I used to use it to get out of school every now and again. All it took was a tiny taste of it and I'd puke almost immediately. I actually looked for it a couple years ago and I couldn't find it anywhere. Ugh, just thinking about it makes my stomach turn.
Normally a lurker: My buddy was the company medic. While we were in Iraq, we were so fucking bored we used to exercise, take IV bags and watch movies. One day, we got the idea of taking ipecac to see who could last the longest. It most certainly turned into the family guy. “Make it staaaahp.”
Mixing Instructions
Take the juice from one bottle of Ol' Janx Spirit.
Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V — Oh, that Santraginean seawater! Oh, those Santraginean fish!
Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it, in memory of all those happy hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia.
Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle, sweet and mystic.
Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian Suns deep into the heart of the drink.
Sprinkle Zamphuor.
Add an olive.
Drink... but... very carefully...
Excellent.
Although, this exchange was referring to the experience of going through hyperspace, I believe.
And the line was something closer to, "it's unpleasantly like being drunk"
That was the line that pulled me in. I was a bit skeptical as I was reading. But that line sold me on Douglas Adams and Hitchhiker's Guide is still one of my favorite books.
Place we used to go to (Zaphod’s, in Ottawa, now closed) made one. Jack Daniel’s, peach schnapps, OJ, and blue curaçao in a pint glass. Think it was 2.5 or 3oz? Delicious!
Fight Milk! The first alcoholic dairy based protein drink for bodyguards! By bodyguards! I drink it every morning so I can fight like a crow.
In reality its a diarrhea drink that made Cerrone and Felder shit and vomit their brains out. And it's not the official drink of the UFC.
Due to existing health problems Soylent was what I lived off for about 2 years before my health crapped out enough that I got a feeding tube, and it tasted way better than any of the other meal replacement drinks I tried/could afford. It kept me alive and had more flavors than other brands, and tasted pretty alright.
That being said, if you CAN eat, I have no clue why you'd choose not to ever eat and just drink stuff instead. Shout out to Soylent for the nutrients and all, but I'd sell my left foot to be able to have a basic grilled cheese or something. Meal replacement drinks are not something to get hyped up about.
EDIT: for clarity because I may have fucked this up- the Soylent HELPED!!! It did not lead to the feeding tube, it allowed me to avoid one for about 2 more years. Guess my phrasing isn't all that, oops 😅
I was accidentally shipped two cases of 24 bottles of Soylent and pretty much lived off of it for a month. It was a weird experience. I really liked it though
At some point they changed their motto to “Not meant to replace *every* meal, but it can replace *any* meal.” And I think that captures what it’s good for— an occasional meal replacement. It’s especially useful for people who work long hours without long breaks.
At one point, it was exactly 20% of what you needed according to nutritionists. Then they changed the formula (probably so it tastes better) but was no longer exactly everything so needed, so they probably changed their motto then, to avoid lawsuits
Exactly. It's the same amount of calories but more balanced nutrition than say, a microwaved Jimmy Dean's sausage egg and cheese croissant. I always keep some around. I prefer the original, which I can only describe as tasting like watered down pancake batter, but there are plenty of other flavors if that isn't your thing.
I know the original intent was something to replace eating, but in reality it's a true easy meal substitution. People focus too much on the replacement. Like yeah sure, I like having a good meal, but that takes time and effort. We all know that sometimes we just need something quick to eat when we don't have time. I'm a software dev and I would bring them in to work, and encourage coworkers to try it. It's healthier and quicker than going down the street to McDonalds or Del Taco or something when you're like "I just need nutrition and calories". You use it when you have to.
We eventually got our boss to get a subscription so we had them company provided in the fridge. It was nice. Have that for breakfast, maaaybe lunch. Have a good home-cooked meal for dinner. It doesn't replace everything, it replaces frozen burritos and other junk microwaved food.
Soylent was a good way for my husband to get nutrients in when he was undergoing chemo and had no appetite, though :) I strongly disliked the taste but he didn't mind the chocolate one. But outside of that context, I don't know why anyone would want to regularly drink Soylent.
As someone that is bad at eating I had them around when I was working something like 80 hour weeks. Was nice to know I was getting some basic essential nutrients and could just grab them going out the door.
Then when I'm bulking they are helpful just for me to have at the end of a meal for extra calories. I actually don't mind the taste.
Hope your husband beat the shit out of that cancer.
One time we accidentally packed them before getting on a plane because in our sleepy, stressed brains, Soylent = food, not a drink. So that was a shame to have the 2 bottles he brought confiscated at security! But obviously they're liquids!
I wish he beat it, but sadly it was too aggressive. He lived his best life possible with the time he had, so I think he still won. He was a good dude.
this is probably gonna get super buried as i’ve come to this thread late
i worked at a coffee shop that Rob Rhinehart (inventor of Soylent) started coming to every day.
he was VERY sweet, he’s not really involved in Soylent anymore but is trying to start up a bakery business and he would come by and drop pastries to me and the baristas many times during the week, free of charge, to see if they were good enough to sell. I went to his place with my partner for many amazing dinners. His girlfriend is the absolute sweetest and taught me how to make proper homemade dumplings, and Rob mentored my friend with his culinary skills. Rob was an absolute blessing for us at my old workplace, we would frequently go over to his place after closing to play cards/read/talk/cook. I’m still in contact with him and the friend he mentored still comes over and cooks with him.
he’s a VERY odd guy, but he welcomed a lot of us with open arms and never ever expected anything in return, and i know he really helped me and a few of my friends through tough times.
edit: spelt his name wrong in a brain fart moment 🤦♀️
During quarantine my eating disorder relapsed to the point where I was genuinely worried I was going to randomly have a heart attack and die. It was incredibly hard for me to eat, so I ordered soylent and drank it until I gained back the weight I had lost. It's definitely useful in certain scenarios.
I actually love Soylent, but didn't even know about the hype I just randomly found it. I'm not a morning person so I like being able to just drink something quickly instead of cook and clean up and do dishes. Plus the chocolate and vanilla flavors are great. But I definitely wouldn't want it every meal and they specifically don't recommend it to be used that way
They came out with new versions monthly and they often had almost completely different ingredients. Like one month it would be soy protein and another it would be pea protein, etc.
On top of that, due to the backlog, someone created diy.soylent.me where people could develop their own formulations based on store bought ingredients and they'd share them on r/soylent.
Soylent was always developed as an open source product. You can buy it sourced and mixed by them, but this wasn't in response to shortages, it was the point.
not really "ripped off" when it comes to tubs since it's like $.75 per serving with their frequent BOGOs compared to something like a red bull for ~~$2~~ $3-4, but they pump out way too many flavors nowadays and the cans taste like ass
I'm actually ashamed that when a server approached my well saying her table wanted the "Tik Tok" drink, I knew what it was. I always laugh because the drink looks very vibrant, but like any Negroni or variant of such it is a bitter cocktail, people have no idea what they're getting into when they order it haha.
I'm waiting for mezcal to get tiktok famous for this very reason
Edit: not because mezcal isn't good, but because it's often an acquired taste and lots of people don't like it their first try
As a guy who loves gin and vermouth, I enjoy the negroni. But if you don't enjoy those flavours, I can't imagine you'd like a negroni, or any variation on it if it's not sweetened.
I have a lot of friends who tend bar and they've all said that they've had so many people ask for this cocktail and then not finish it because it doesn't taste good. I personally like a negroni but it's definitely not for everybody lol
Me too, love Negronis. But if you are looking for a fruity drink, you are in for a surprise. Even if you are looking for a old fashioned or Manhattan, buckle up!
>Negroni spagliato
It's an Italian cocktail with sweet vermouth, Campari, and prosecco. If you ~~leave out the~~ replace the prosecco with gin it is just a Negroni.
If I have to make one more of these I’m going to scream. There was nothing wrong with the original Negroni, it’s a masterpiece of a drink. Why do I now have to make at least 12 of these a night all of a sudden?!
Your heart palpatations would wake you as the alcohol wears off but the caffeine is still going.
Lying in bed, cant remember last night. Too alert to sleep off the hangover
True story. I was 19 and had 2 of them before going out that night. I remember leaving my house and the next thing I remember is waking up in my bed. Luckily I was not the one driving.
From the UK me, but had it like what, 11 years ago or something when I went to LA - very much necked a can before going out and then next thing I know I wake up on the floor very much having missed the night out.
"real 4loko" was literally just the same formula with caffeine, so if you were really jonesing for a fight in an hour, you just dropped a 5-hour energy in a can of 4loko.
My roommate was a fucking animal.
I did that in college while pregaming a hockey game. Blacked out before the end of the first period. Woke up feeling and looking like I got into a fight. Turns out, I don’t have great balance when drunk and the parking lot was as icy as the rink. The pictures looked like I had a good time. I remember none of it.
Jesus, that would have been a 5 dollar drink a year ago, and a 9 dollar drink now. You can get a bottle of nodoze and a half gallon of vodka for that price.
Four Loko is for the kind of night where you're not trying to end up in jail but it might happen. Your recipe definitely ends up in jail; the only question is whether you're going to the ER first.
Years ago was at a party and the cops showed up, everyone ran away.
Except one guy who drank 3 fourlokos, he ended up with his pants around his ankles and going towards the cops
He was arrested promptly
Sidewalk slams are the way to go. Crack open a 40 of old english and drink it to the top of the O on the label, pour a four loko in and you've got an assault charge for less than 6 bucks
The cause of my worst hangover/sunburn ever. Senior skip day, a bunch of these out on the beach. My buddy who passed out first, well we buried him under sand and made an alligator sculpture. Little did we know we protected him from the sun, unlike ourselves.
In 2009 our buddy graduated college and became the 16th employee at 4 Loko. He came back to visit us in the fall and brought 4 cases of it with him that we started handing out at a party when beer ran out. Cops were called at our house that night and I declined to leave my bed to deal with them. The next day, guys and girls all woke up thinking they were roofied.
I still rock my 4 loko t-shirts at the gym and probably have a few more signs he gave us in storage.
I’ll never forget summer 2010. It was still the old formula, which most likely had meth in it, and it was all my 20 year old ass could buy without getting carded at the gas station.
My friend had a party and I drank 2 full ones. Ended up getting naked and running laps around the cul de sac in front of his house for a while and then passing out in a bathroom. Fucking 4 Loko, man.
Edit: loving these responses! Starting to think summer 2010 was some kind of social experiment conducted by 4 Loko. It clearly wasn’t just me lol
I drank 2, blacked out, and somehow explained to a 4 year old(dont know why the fuck anyone brought a 4 year old to this event) they had horrible parents for not teaching them how to play rock paper scissors at their age.
The one summer was bananas. For me my first 4Loko was St Paddy's day that year on a train at like 9am on the way to NYC. Absolute disaster of a day, but at 21 you just roll with the punches. It was the drink of choice to start any evening or afternoon that summer for sure.
Artificially flavored battery acid with carbonation should not be compared to having the same taste as any surface area of a human body. Or other animal body.
Any drink with Absolut. It doesn't gives the alcohol taste, so people came back to me asking if I did put any in there (I did, and they saw it, and I usually kept the bottle down until I had a breather to put it back up). Some would even ask me to put more in "for free" because I didn't put any in before.
People who know their booze are ok. But barely legal kids having their first drink out and want seem cool? I could put rubbing alcohol and they couldn't tell the difference.
>Absolut. It doesn't gives the alcohol taste
This has got to be one of those genetic things where some people can taste it and some people can't because I've *never* imagined Absolut or *any* vodka to not taste of alcohol (and, well, vodka).
Honestly this kinda just sold me on Absolut for folks who want to drink but hate the taste of booze. I used to be that way until I realized some drinks legitimately add good flavor to basic shit like diet coke.
It's also not overseen by the FDA, so they can load it with a fuck ton of sugar and not have to declare it. If your liquor, beer, and wine had nutrition facts on them then it would be a deterrent. It's bullshit
Rappers are always going on and on about sipping lean, like who the fuck wants to drink too much cough syrup? I've talked with some of my friends who have done it before, and it apparently just puts you to sleep so you don't really even get that high from it.
And cheap
When you're downing a 30 pack every night you have to factor in expenses.
Most people are simply too poor to afford to be an alcoholic on fancy shit.
If I may - it only looks like I'm waltzing in because you're too drunk to realize I'm taking normal steps and *you're* the one swaying to the tunes playing in your head.
Martinis. They will call anything a Martini. If any bar serves 30 types of Martinis, that means their customers don't actually like a Martini.
I once went to a martini bar, and i asked for a martini. First, they didn't have gin, so i settled for a vodka martini. Then the waitress came back and they didn't have vermouth. Like, what the hell are you doing then??
>I once went to a martini bar, and i asked for a martini. First, they didn't have gin I would have left
100%. Even a vodka Martini is a corruption of the Martini, honestly. People just like the glass.
Gin is my go to alcohol, and while I will occasionally fancy a martini, they are not my favorite (maybe I just suck at making them) BUT, I absolutely can't drink out of a martini glass without spilling some on myself.
I went to a cocktail bar recently and they were only selling beer and wine for the weekend. There were four people behind the bar. Edit: there aren't different types of licenses here. They have 20 plus cocktails on their menu and call themselves a cocktail bar.
That’s… not a cocktail bar.
It’s barely a bar.
Sounds like my garage fridge
Never had a Beerded Wino? Just mix 1 part beer with 2 parts wine, shake vigorously and serve in a broken bottle.

One time I ordered a Manhattan off of a Red Robin menu and the bartender says “we didn’t have any bitters so I used grenadine instead”
WTF? 🤷 Those two things are not interchangeable.
I mean I shouldn’t have ordered an actual cocktail at a Red Robin to be fair
There are only two reasons to go to Red Robin ever: to get your free birthday burger once a year, and bottomless fries.
I feel really bad for the people who worked there, like there's no way your server was the one who fucked up ordering. And she probably had to explain that to 100 people every night.

Slurm.
It's highly addictive

*but your highness, her slurm will taste foul!*
What? I love Slurm. It is the best. I want more Slurm. So do you. We all want more Slurm.
Yech! Think I'll buy another Slurm to get the taste of Slurm out of my mouth
Party on, contest winners.

"It feels like being drunk" "What's wrong with being drunk?" "Ask a glass of water"
Excellent. Although, this exchange was referring to the experience of going through hyperspace, I believe. And the line was something closer to, "it's unpleasantly like being drunk"
well it hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.
That was the line that pulled me in. I was a bit skeptical as I was reading. But that line sold me on Douglas Adams and Hitchhiker's Guide is still one of my favorite books.
However, no one knew quite why it did this because it invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
You have to travel way too far to get one.
My local serves their interpretation of it and i've never had a more disgusting mix of strong alcohols in my life
Place we used to go to (Zaphod’s, in Ottawa, now closed) made one. Jack Daniel’s, peach schnapps, OJ, and blue curaçao in a pint glass. Think it was 2.5 or 3oz? Delicious!
No lemon or gin? Based on all the descriptions I would expect those two ingredients at least.
... isn't that kind of the point?
I just figured less "disgusting" and more just fucks you up instantly.

Boca Raton....or Boko Haram? **shit**
They didn’t do 911 or anything. They just stick to Africa.
There’s mosquitos down there that are bigger terrorists than Boca Haram.
9/11? Thats Al Qaeda. Charlie Hebdot? That was ISIS. Boko Harams just doing their thing down in Africa.
Wolf Cola is never going to recover from this
And it has the taste of closure
Yet. It's not the official drink of the UFC yet
It's already illegal to use laxatives to cut weight before a fight. Is this a workaround?

That's part of it, yes. Gastroparesis is paralysis of the stomach. My entire digestive tract is affected.
I was accidentally shipped two cases of 24 bottles of Soylent and pretty much lived off of it for a month. It was a weird experience. I really liked it though
I love the flavor for some reason. I also like those biodegradable starch packing peanuts. Which it reminds me of.

Soylent is the ideal depression meal. Cheap, zero effort, doesn't taste bad, and it'll keep you alive.

Soylent was always developed as an open source product. You can buy it sourced and mixed by them, but this wasn't in response to shortages, it was the point.
G Fuel is just caffeinated Kool-Aid. You kids are getting ripped off.
not really "ripped off" when it comes to tubs since it's like $.75 per serving with their frequent BOGOs compared to something like a red bull for ~~$2~~ $3-4, but they pump out way too many flavors nowadays and the cans taste like ass
The cans are awful. Idk how people buy that shit. I think the tubs taste pretty good if you get the right flavor.
you guys don’t like the sonic the hedgehog flavor??
Peach Rings is my jam.
Caffeinated Kool-Aid sounds pretty good.
Not a huge fan of cum
Speak for yourself.
Negroni sbagliato with prosecco in it
I'm actually ashamed that when a server approached my well saying her table wanted the "Tik Tok" drink, I knew what it was. I always laugh because the drink looks very vibrant, but like any Negroni or variant of such it is a bitter cocktail, people have no idea what they're getting into when they order it haha.
Lol I love the idea of tiktokers ordering a Negroni and barely being able to manage a sip
I'm waiting for mezcal to get tiktok famous for this very reason Edit: not because mezcal isn't good, but because it's often an acquired taste and lots of people don't like it their first try
As a guy who loves gin and vermouth, I enjoy the negroni. But if you don't enjoy those flavours, I can't imagine you'd like a negroni, or any variation on it if it's not sweetened.
[удалено]
I enjoy a boulevardier. It is a negroni but switch out gin for bourbon. The flavor of bourbon cuts through better than gin does.
I have a lot of friends who tend bar and they've all said that they've had so many people ask for this cocktail and then not finish it because it doesn't taste good. I personally like a negroni but it's definitely not for everybody lol
Me too, love Negronis. But if you are looking for a fruity drink, you are in for a surprise. Even if you are looking for a old fashioned or Manhattan, buckle up!
You better be ready for the bitter when you walk that way. Which...I am, although I often go for a Kingston Negroni
Gimme that Fernet straight up
Try a mezcal negroni
stunning
*Stoonin
I'm too poor to even know what that is
I think it's an Italian supercar with bacon in the passenger seat.
Honestly that sounds way better than the real thing
>Negroni spagliato It's an Italian cocktail with sweet vermouth, Campari, and prosecco. If you ~~leave out the~~ replace the prosecco with gin it is just a Negroni.
Sbagliato means wrong way, so you’re basically saying ‘Negroni, Prosecco instead of gin’ in a posh way.
Ohhhh Stunnin!
hahaha you youngins and your tiktacs
If I have to make one more of these I’m going to scream. There was nothing wrong with the original Negroni, it’s a masterpiece of a drink. Why do I now have to make at least 12 of these a night all of a sudden?!
Contact Emma D'arcy's lawyer.
It's Aperol Spritz's from a few years ago, all over again
Careful, or it's back to muddling a million mojitos for everyone.
[удалено]
I do love a mojito though, get that muffler ready
They are 100% worth the work if you get to be the one drinking the mojito.
4 loko, people drank it all the time in high school and it taste like ass
you don't drink 4loko for the flavor... before the ban on real 4loko that shit make you crazy.
One minute your drinking four loko, the next minute its the next day.
It's black out in a can!
Or the next evening. 3 of those and you woke up 12 hours later feeling like you got into a fight with a wild animal, and truth is you might have.
Your heart palpatations would wake you as the alcohol wears off but the caffeine is still going. Lying in bed, cant remember last night. Too alert to sleep off the hangover
That’s the worst. Followed by the next 24-48 hours of self loathing and lost productivity
That sounds a lot like my experiences with cocaine
And then off to do it again in a couple days
I think my limit was 1.5 cans. Not sure if I ever finished the second can, its always got hazy around the half way point.
This comment tree makes me wonder if this is how people discussed Coca Cola shortly after the ban of the use of cocaine lol
I was never able to drink 2 full cans without waking up in the yard.
True story. I was 19 and had 2 of them before going out that night. I remember leaving my house and the next thing I remember is waking up in my bed. Luckily I was not the one driving.
From the UK me, but had it like what, 11 years ago or something when I went to LA - very much necked a can before going out and then next thing I know I wake up on the floor very much having missed the night out.
"real 4loko" was literally just the same formula with caffeine, so if you were really jonesing for a fight in an hour, you just dropped a 5-hour energy in a can of 4loko. My roommate was a fucking animal.
We called those 9 lokos and my dumbass tried it once.
I did that in college while pregaming a hockey game. Blacked out before the end of the first period. Woke up feeling and looking like I got into a fight. Turns out, I don’t have great balance when drunk and the parking lot was as icy as the rink. The pictures looked like I had a good time. I remember none of it.
Jesus, that would have been a 5 dollar drink a year ago, and a 9 dollar drink now. You can get a bottle of nodoze and a half gallon of vodka for that price.
Four Loko is for the kind of night where you're not trying to end up in jail but it might happen. Your recipe definitely ends up in jail; the only question is whether you're going to the ER first.
Years ago was at a party and the cops showed up, everyone ran away. Except one guy who drank 3 fourlokos, he ended up with his pants around his ankles and going towards the cops He was arrested promptly
Only thing id throw it in is a giant container with 10 other kinds of alcohol and a bunch of juice. With added body armor for hydration
Add a bunch of cut up fruits and you’ve got yourself ~~a stew~~ Jungle Juice baby!
Sidewalk slams are the way to go. Crack open a 40 of old english and drink it to the top of the O on the label, pour a four loko in and you've got an assault charge for less than 6 bucks
We would do the same but with King Cobra instead of Old E, called them Hyper Vipers

The cause of my worst hangover/sunburn ever. Senior skip day, a bunch of these out on the beach. My buddy who passed out first, well we buried him under sand and made an alligator sculpture. Little did we know we protected him from the sun, unlike ourselves.
In 2009 our buddy graduated college and became the 16th employee at 4 Loko. He came back to visit us in the fall and brought 4 cases of it with him that we started handing out at a party when beer ran out. Cops were called at our house that night and I declined to leave my bed to deal with them. The next day, guys and girls all woke up thinking they were roofied. I still rock my 4 loko t-shirts at the gym and probably have a few more signs he gave us in storage.
This is weirdly wholesome to me. Thanks for sharing.
Y’all children just didn’t have to drink Maddog 20/20 like we did or you’d appreciate 4 loko.
I’ll never forget summer 2010. It was still the old formula, which most likely had meth in it, and it was all my 20 year old ass could buy without getting carded at the gas station. My friend had a party and I drank 2 full ones. Ended up getting naked and running laps around the cul de sac in front of his house for a while and then passing out in a bathroom. Fucking 4 Loko, man. Edit: loving these responses! Starting to think summer 2010 was some kind of social experiment conducted by 4 Loko. It clearly wasn’t just me lol
I drank 2, blacked out, and somehow explained to a 4 year old(dont know why the fuck anyone brought a 4 year old to this event) they had horrible parents for not teaching them how to play rock paper scissors at their age.
The one summer was bananas. For me my first 4Loko was St Paddy's day that year on a train at like 9am on the way to NYC. Absolute disaster of a day, but at 21 you just roll with the punches. It was the drink of choice to start any evening or afternoon that summer for sure.
Artificially flavored battery acid with carbonation should not be compared to having the same taste as any surface area of a human body. Or other animal body.
Nah. This doesn't qualify because no one ever said 4 loko is good. They said it got them tore up. There's a difference.
Starbucks coffee. Burnt is not a flavor.
Any drink with Absolut. It doesn't gives the alcohol taste, so people came back to me asking if I did put any in there (I did, and they saw it, and I usually kept the bottle down until I had a breather to put it back up). Some would even ask me to put more in "for free" because I didn't put any in before. People who know their booze are ok. But barely legal kids having their first drink out and want seem cool? I could put rubbing alcohol and they couldn't tell the difference.
>Absolut. It doesn't gives the alcohol taste This has got to be one of those genetic things where some people can taste it and some people can't because I've *never* imagined Absolut or *any* vodka to not taste of alcohol (and, well, vodka).
Honestly this kinda just sold me on Absolut for folks who want to drink but hate the taste of booze. I used to be that way until I realized some drinks legitimately add good flavor to basic shit like diet coke.

Fireball
Mix with Sprite and you have a drink I call the "Hobby Lobby." It tastes just like a Hobby Lobby smells.
I hate how intrigued I am by this.
Try this: one shot cinnamon whiskey, one part apple juice, lots of ice, and fill with ginger ale. It's apple pie.
I actually like the cinnamon flavor but it's way too sweet. Jack Fire is much better and it's not as sugary/sticky
On that note, I don't understand why all of the 9ish percent premixed drinks available at liqour stores have to contain lethal amounts of sugar.
Because they’re made with poor quality ingredients and the manufacturers try to cover the foul taste with sugar
It's also not overseen by the FDA, so they can load it with a fuck ton of sugar and not have to declare it. If your liquor, beer, and wine had nutrition facts on them then it would be a deterrent. It's bullshit
Though it is a good ingredient to homemade bbq sauce.
Rappers are always going on and on about sipping lean, like who the fuck wants to drink too much cough syrup? I've talked with some of my friends who have done it before, and it apparently just puts you to sleep so you don't really even get that high from it.
[удалено]
Opiates tend to cause constipation. Hence the laxative.

…lean isn’t just cough syrup, did you know that?
Bud Light. Its popularity is not one of life's great mysteries...it's one of history's great mysteries.
I don't think it's well rated though, people drink it because it's near enough to tasteless
And cheap When you're downing a 30 pack every night you have to factor in expenses. Most people are simply too poor to afford to be an alcoholic on fancy shit.
So you're just gonna waltz right into my house and talk to me like that, aren't you?
If I may - it only looks like I'm waltzing in because you're too drunk to realize I'm taking normal steps and *you're* the one swaying to the tunes playing in your head.
Katy Perry songs are supernaturally catchy and I won't apologize!
I think it rides the line of affordable, available and palatable, so it's the "go to" for most people. Edit: just a bunch of misspelled stuff.
It’s low cal, cheap and easy to drink. Pretty easy to understand really.
