And make you puke your guts up.... it's vile

I tried some about 10 years ago and it was quite good, bit of a kick but good. The only other thing along a similar vein that I have tried was a local spirit made in Beijing. No idea what it was called but **** me did that have a kick, stupidly high alcohol content too.

Moskosvskya is our tipple of choice in the pubs here although over Christmas I cracked open the bottle of Kalashnikov which was very nice. Got 3 bottles of Irish vodka here still to try...

Red = Harsh

Blue = Industrial Strength

Black = Smooth and Mellow, you need to keep it chilled though.

Polish Vodka is nice too... no hangover.

but right now!

I'll give those a try, thanks. Last night's was smirnoff red with diet coke. My wife is not used to it either, and ended up drinking like it was just coke. Never seen her so drunk!

All clear forms of alcohol give you less of a hangover because they lack the congeners (sp?) that dark alcohols have. Although it's the alcohol that gives you the hangover, the additives makes it that much worse.

I personally like smirnoff black, i'm sure somebody will come along and say absolut vodka though. That being said a Swedish girl I was working with produced some butterscotch absolut once and it was really good. I haven't been able to find anywhere that sells it though, maybe it's only available in Sweden?

fantastic! Which brands are more pure? Can you choose based on price?

Vodka is wonderful, as long as you drink lots of water in the morning you'll be fine

Also it's a well known fact that you can preserve food in alcoholic substances like vodka, ergo drinking lots of vodka will preserve you and ensure you have a long happy and fruitful life!!!

Had close to half a bottle of Vodka last night to celebrate having cut down on beer, and I feel strangely clear headed today. Does Vodka not give you hangovers? I'm a wine/beer man generally.

[cailin maith]

I am never drinking again

[KathyWoolfe]

Half a cider please but if Cailin has had it all then a glass of Bailey's

[darmstadt]

Watneys Red Barrel and some Scampi Fries please
