The 'god I'm pissed' thread

[gatso]

Zubrowka is the business, got introduced to that at a home game a couple years back with apple juice and loved it!!

yep, obv with apple juice, only way to drink it

known as 'szarlotka' in poland which means apple pie/tart. slightly confusing as most bars also serve an apple pie so waiters have to decide whether you're there to drink or eat cake. for some reason they always bring me the liquid version, must be something about the way I look

 if I want to taste the vodka I'll have something nice rather than one of  the worst tasting available that just happens to have had a huge marketing spend over the years that's successfully convinced the public that it's nice

...

Do you really think Smirnoff is a worse taste - or even the same level - as something like Vladivar vodka?

If I drank them neat I think I'd struggle to tell the difference. Basically they both taste like paint stripper and probably do the same job as well.

Obviously with a mixer which is the way God intended them to be drank it makes no difference anyway.

Vladivar, made in Warrington but with a Russian sounding name so it must be the real deal.

Does a Vodka have to be made in Russia for it to be good?

Vladivar, made in Warrington but with a Russian sounding name so it must be the real deal.

I've only drunk smirnoff with mixers for a very long time, and I think I've only ever bought one bottle of Vladivar (when money was really really tight) - maybe I just have more taste buds to tell the difference with - but the really cheap supermarket stuff still makes the drink taste bad even when you have a mixer in it (imo).

On the train home I remembered a couple of vodkas I tried at a food show last year

uluvka which tasted very nice

Black Moth - which seems awfully gimmicky, but makes up for it by tasting awesome (I went back quite a few times for free samples of that one)

I might have to have a BBQ before Vegas and crack the bottle I've got in the house open. Don't normally drink at home, but with weather like this I could make an exception!!

I'd be safe as by the time I would be on those my speech would give it away as to what I was asking for

[paulhouk03]

this vodka is pretty nice

the bottle is redic gay tho

[Ant040689]

never been a big drinker, can someone explain to me the progression they had, from having no experience of vodka, to now being able to distinguish the nuances in taste, aside from the flavoured ones of course.. I know i am being slightly ignorant here of vodka, but thought it was all the same.

I once drank a pint of comfort fabric softener after having consumed a bottle of Glenns vodka and the remains of JD bottle. I phoned NHS helpline the next morning and said I think I have a problem. They told me to go to hospital, I said let me see how I feel after a bacon sarnie first. Right as rain.

Why did you even phone them? seems pretty stupid
