Posted: 10/29/2009 2:33:32 PM | I only drink it when the Wine and Gin have run out. Its OK drowned in Orange Juice.
What I want to know is how come it wont freeze? I have had a bottle in my freezer for about 12 months now and its still liquid........very weird.
I actually wonder why blokes all seem to drink Bourbon and Scotch when they hit the shorts.......now they really do taste like poison and the smell is enough to make me gag.
Bad memories of being on the unwilling receiving end of many Bourbon roots when I was married are coming flooding back............. | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 4:00:27 PM | Igor, a successful Russian agrarian, is walking along the shore of the Black Sea. He finds an odd shaped lamp, so he picks it up and rubs it in jest. Out pops a Genie and promises to grant Igor only one wish.
"Gee, I have everything I need. I have a beautiful loving spouse, more money than I could ever spend, and I am free to travel anywhere in the world tending to my business interests. I really can't think of anything that I really need," says Igor.
"Think hard," says the Genie, "there must be something you wish that you had."
So Igor thinks long and hard for 20 minutes. Finally he says, "You know, I really do love drinking good Vodka, but sometimes I just can't find it when I want some. Therefore, I wish that I could piss Vodka."
"Very well," says the Genie, "Pissing Vodka you shall have."
The genie hands him a glass and instructs him to piss in it. He does. Then she asks him to smell it. He does. Then she asks him to taste it. He does.
"This is the best Vodka I've ever tasted!" Igor exclaims. "Thank you."
The Genie disappears, and Igor returns home. That night Igor gets 2 glasses and pisses into each one. He takes them into the den and gives one to his wife to drink and one for himself.
"This is delicious," his wife Raisa tells him.
So every night for the next 5 night he comes home from work, pisses in 2 glasses and enjoys the drink with his wife. On the seventh night he comes home from work but only pisses Vodka into one glass.
When he enters the den, Raisa asks him,"Where is my drink dear Igor."
"Ah," Igor replies, "Tonight I will teach you how to drink right from the bottle."

maybe you should put on your profile no vodka lovers who knows all the tequila shooters might come out of the closet least you'll know alcoholics of a different kind , nothing like "mixing your drinks"
The only way to have vodka is in jello shots!!!!! other than that it has no appeal to me whatsoeva.....
Theres such an array of alcoholic beverages to choose from one never has to limit themselves
What I want to know is how come it wont freeze?
cos the average household freezer isnt cold enuf!!!!
why blokes all seem to drink Bourbon and Scotch
wonders if Im really a male trapped in a females body  ....as I enjoy both of these!!
along with tequila, schnapps, mixer drinks,c0ckails everything really (hmmmmm maybe its just that I'm not that fussy) except BEER that just doesnt do it for me.... firsthand or secondhand | |

If you Google
why doesn't alcohol freeze
you will find several answers to your question.
I'm a glass of white wine or bourbon and coke lady. Occasionally I'll drink Vodka Cruisers or Bacardi Breezers but only when pink ones are available, not for the taste but because my favourite colour is pink and they look so pretty and feminine in a wine glass with ice! | |

Posted: 10/30/2009 12:37:58 AM | Vodka according to Wikipedia is a typical colorless liquor, usually distilled from fermented grain (sometimes a type of potato) but also from other raw materials. The word is adimituitive of the Slavic word *voda* for water. Except for various types of flavourings, vodka consists of water and alcohol (ethanol) Vodka usually has an alcoholic content ranging from35% to 70% by volume. But I think you will find that the Vodka Cruisers & Bacardi Breezers especially only have 4% of alcohol..so they are very popular with the ladies . When you consider the more alcoholic drinks the lads intake, with from 10% upwards (whiskey,(both Irish and Scotch) bourbon, Cognac and even beerscan be included) you can see why women are thinking straighter about their alcohol intake than their counterparts!
When I have attended Christenings, Weddings and other social functions, where women have their offspring around them and are paying closer attention to the kids, they do tend to drink the lower alcohol beverages, as lets face they have to be alert for problems. They tend to still stick to their favourite beverage, that allows them to be in better control, if that seem strange to you too bad At least that makes better sense to them..
Of course, if they don`t have any food, while drinking, the alcohol will still make them inebriated enough so that others can take advantage of that.
And by the way, Vodka is one of the MOST popular drinks at the moment in the
c o c k tail party scene all around Australia, its the easiest to mix with other spirits.
Its out selling all of the the other spirits.....(most probably because there are more Vodka drinkers that are women) QED.
Vodka doesnt freeze because its 40% alcohol and 60% Ethanol.When a substance is dissolved in water it lowers the freezing point of the solution..In the case of vodka
the freezing point of the solution is lowered so much that it is below the temperature of the freezer.

Posted: 10/30/2009 7:59:40 PM | Its simply due to the fact that when mixed you almost disguise the fact you are drinking alcohol aparts from the fact you get smashed.
Best vodka, get half a bottle chop up some mars bars into small enough pieces so it fits in the bottle. Fill the bottle up with mars bar, then boil the kettle & fill the sink up. Put bottle in the sink with lid on, shake well keep changing water as it takes ages to melt all the nougat. Then let the bottle cool to almost room temp & shove it in some ice or the freezer.
Then shots. | |

Posted: 10/31/2009 6:08:28 AM | it would seem then that the Russians invented Vodka to keep their drinking water from freezing through winter,,,, amazing... cool, even..

Posted: 11/3/2009 8:36:03 AM | | vodka hides well in many juices and soft drinks. Barely changes lemon, lime and bitters; in flavor anyway. Twenty years ago I remember drinking lemon, lime and bitters with vodka from a frisbee...... | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 8:47:06 AM | One of my Duty Managers a few years back

bar - she always claimed it did the job better then
anything else - always wondered if she swilled down
the left-overs when she took her jewellery out of the
dish - hmmmmm | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 3:23:47 PM | Loose lips sink ships is my only piece of advice regarding alcohol.
Either stay reasonably sober or drink so much you are unable to speak......the in between area is dangerous territory.
Now if only I could learn to practise what I preach. | |

Posted: 11/5/2009 2:48:44 AM | Vodka and V8 vege juice would be kinda like a heavy Guspaco .... a healthy alternative, don't you think?.... a meal in itself.... if you chew on a bagette as well for extra fibre..... 
as opposed to a breakfast bloody mary with plain tomato juice, ...... usually taken in a few gulps,like a shot of medicine... ..
few spirits would substitute as universally as Vodka.....
except perhaps Tequila....  
and mexican Spanish is easier to speak drunk.. than Russian.... one thing in tequilas favour...Si.... | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 4:04:11 AM | Vodka is the closet preference of alcoholics who have to work with the general public cos apparently it doesn't smell...just ask my consultant doctor dad...scarey!!!!

He still has no feeling on the end of his right pointing finger..20 years down the track. But I still don't like vodka.

Posted: 11/7/2009 11:01:13 PM | Peaches - not sure I fully agree with you. Whether you'e drinking tequila at 3am in a seedy tequila bar in Puerta Vallerta with a couple of Mexicans or drinking vodka at 3am in a seedy vodka bar in Nizhny Novgorod with a couple of Russians, there are some common things
You will try to keep up with them
They will be able to drink more than you
They will become your lifelong friends
You will be very sick the next day
There is a universal language at 3am and it consists of gutteral noises and grunts which are exactly the same in any language...
Which is why I very seldom drink vodka or tequila now... | |
|
| Vodka....please explain ladies!!
Posted: 11/7/2009 11:51:32 PM | Ohh God - couldn't agree more Mr Piquancy123 -
a few years back I won the Tequila slammer competition at the Reef Resort on the Coral Coast Fiji and
my younger sister was runner up -
we were sick for two days straight and
neither of us have touched it again but we
did beat the Public Service guy from Canberra | |
