What's your favourite mixer with spirits?

[escapeUK]

Have discovered sipsmith vodka of late. Favourite with tonic is skyy vodka but prefer belvedere, snow queen or grey goose for martinis.

Flavour of vodka differs from brand to brand.

I bought some of that Smirnoff black vodka at Christmas, and my god is it disgusting. Its putting me of trying any of the more expensive ones like Grey goose at £35 a bottle.

Not it doesnt, Ive never had a vodka hangover and id probably have around 4 shots before a night out (2 doubles) to get me in the mood, half a dozen vodka (upto a max of about 10) drinks mixed with shots during throughout the night. And I perhaps do this once every 3 months or so, so Im not exactly used to it as I do it so often.

And you dont have to taste it, you can feel it the effect. In my circle of friends the ones who get the hangovers are the ones who drink 10 pints as beer has loads of congeners.

Telling us you don't get hangovers is not science. The very research you quoted says vodka gives less people hangovers, or less often/severe, but clearly states some people still got severe hangovers.

Saying "you can tell by how you feel" is simply not true either... otherwise the oldest form of drink spiking would not exist. Your perception of how drunk you are is not reliable, and becomes less so as you drink!

Im not google, do your own research and find the countless articles saying exactly what I already said. I just pasted the first one I found.

Saying you get a hangover and cant judge your level of intoxication is not science either. I can, you cant. I cant do a high jump, therefore I guess it must mean that no one else can either following your logic.

How strange as clear liquids like vodka dont cause hang overs, something to do with congeners I believe.

Only on CUK General could someone actually be arrogant enough to tell you that a drink that makes you ill without fail can't possibly give people hangovers.

You are thinking of whisky darling. I must be a super human immortal that can drink as much vodka without ill effect as I want. Lucky me. Strange how when I had loads of cocktails on a valentines night out I was sick for the next 36 hours.

You must be thinking of someone that's interested in your opinion.

Yes, and it doesn't say what you claim:

In one study, 33 percent of those who drank an amount of bourbon relative to their body weight reported severe hangover, compared to 3 percent of those who drank the same amount of vodka.

3 percent reported severe hangover.

No. You stated "clear spirits don't give hangovers". Therefore if I get hangovers from clear spirits this is entirely a scientific rebuttal of your claim, proof by counter-example.

But anyway, I didn't say anything about my personal experiences, I stated well-established fact which you can find through research of your own... spiking drinks with alcohol.

Surely you know the differences between statistics and individual empirical experiences? Your argument is exactly the same as someone saying "my gran lived to 99 and smoked 20 a day since 16, so clearly cigarettes aren't bad for you".

Why are you getting upset just because someone says your arguments are flawed, it's an attack on your position not your personally?

Im not upset at all. Being a narcissist I believe only my own opinion matters or has any worth, why would I care what someone with no worth thinks? Its very liberating this pyschobable.

But anyway, I tell you I have no hangover from drinking just vodka, and I know many others who enjoy the same benefit. If you put "Vodka no hangover" into google you will you find many such anecdotes whether you choose to believe them or not is up to you.

So you're just trolling?

I dont think you know what that word means. But no, Im not.

Bit late having replied to a post from someone to then state a disinterest. But nice try treacle.
