you have to drink it with a spoon

If someone asks, claim it was misplaced. To keep him/her from looking in your refrigerator, nail it to the roof.

If it was a gift, it's yours to use as you see fit. This may mean drinking it all now, or drinking some now and the rest later, or drinking all of it later, or regifting it to me...

was the bottle already open?

― hellbaby (hellbaby), Saturday, 13 September 2003 23:38 (twenty-three years ago)

The bottle is open. I have poured myself a measure and a half over ice. I have not eaten since brunch.

HELLO RUIN MY OLD FRIEND!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 13 September 2003 23:41 (twenty-three years ago)

haha yay!!

― geeta (geeta), Saturday, 13 September 2003 23:42 (twenty-three years ago)

For your next drink make a Bloody Mary; the vegetable juice will put some nutrients in you.

― j.lu (j.lu), Saturday, 13 September 2003 23:43 (twenty-three years ago)

or mix with cranberry juice for some vitamin C!

you can get all yr nutrients from vodka drinks!

― geeta (geeta), Saturday, 13 September 2003 23:47 (twenty-three years ago)

mix with Mountain Dew
put on "Jump Around" and then
follow their advice

(actually no.
my brother got ten stitches
when we tried this plan)

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Saturday, 13 September 2003 23:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Bloody Mary = instant vomfest.

I've got a bottle of Cran-Tangerine that's calling out "MIX ME YOUNG DANIEL!"

If I had Mountain Dew, I would be all over that shit except the first time I puked from drinking was vodka and Mountain Dew. BAD KARMA OH NO

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 13 September 2003 23:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Your bottle od Cran-Tangerine is older than you => best not

You are trying to lead me to destruction with your crafty haikus. I WILL NOT BE TRICKED (again)!

george gosset left a bottle of some real expensive vodka in my room once & me & colleen drank it & george acted real p.o'ed about it the next day but i think he was somehow setting me up so i would feel indebted to him for some weird reason.
so
it may be a trap!!

― duane, Sunday, 14 September 2003 01:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Fortunately I didn't have George over for brunch today!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 14 September 2003 01:13 (twenty-three years ago)

You ought to buy the cheapest vodka you can find and replace the Skyy contents with it and give the bottle back to him. This you come off as honest and you can see if he notices the difference.

― nickn (nickn), Sunday, 14 September 2003 01:16 (twenty-three years ago)

i shared a 26 of bombay with my friend yesterday, we mixed it with diet orange when the tonic ran out.

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 14 September 2003 04:35 (twenty-three years ago)

isnt it an unwritten rule that if you leave a bottle at someones place, they are required to drink it asap?

no?
well it was where i spent my 'formative years' hahaha there was no mercy shown if you were silly enough to leave any alcohol behind.
enjoy!
oh yes, the idea of replacing it with a cheapie is quite good really. you can also return the favour, by leaving the equivalent behind at this persons abode next time you visit for drinks. that is what we usually did and it all 'worked out in the wash' really.

― donna (donna), Sunday, 14 September 2003 05:08 (twenty-three years ago)

fuck yes. suck that shit down!

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Sunday, 14 September 2003 07:34 (twenty-three years ago)

The first time I had Frangelico, it was because someone had left a huge bottle of it at a friend's house at a party; I was there at a subsequent party, knew hardly anyone there and wasn't technically of drinking age, and didn't know which drinks were whose, so I just sat down with that and some Kahlua. I wasn't much for getting Very Drunk around people I didn't know -- I'm still not -- but that was a pretty fucking smooth combination, so fast forward half a day and there I am, naked on the roof of the McDonald's with a checkered tablecloth as a cape --

Okay, I made half of that up. But it was really good Frangelico and I drank a lot of it. Maybe you could trade the vodka in for some.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 08:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I store bottles of vodka in my freezer. Lovely jubbly.

― C J (C J), Sunday, 14 September 2003 09:03 (twenty-three years ago)

You shouldn't feel obliged to drink it, no. Especially, if you don't like vodka. If you like vodka, you could drink some of it, and save some for another day. Ruin is over-rated, I reckon.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 14 September 2003 09:04 (twenty-three years ago)

doesnt the glass break when you freeze stuff in a bottle? i never did that cause i thought that's what would happen

― duane, Sunday, 14 September 2003 09:07 (twenty-three years ago)

vodka won't freeze because of the alcohol content, and even if it does (you have to have a damned good freezer, or a fairly low alcohol vodka) the alcohol will contract when frozen, more than compensating for the expansion of the water (water is practically the only thing that increases in volume when it freezes)

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 14 September 2003 09:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I definitely, definitely recommend keeping your gin in the freezer. I'm sure there's some explanation for this, but with good gin, the colder it is, the more I notice those botanicals they go on about on the label.

(I'm not a vodka drinker, so I have no idea if this is as true of vodka.)

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 09:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Not sure what the answer is but may its that the aromatic volatiles that impart the flavour to the gin/vodka are more volatile than the alcohol at lower temperature meaning the botanicals are less masked by the booze at lower temperatures.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 14 September 2003 09:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Vodka should always be stored in the freezer when possible. Makes it go down 20x smoother. (I only drink Stoli straight.)

― Girolamo Savonarola, Sunday, 14 September 2003 14:41 (twenty-three years ago)

So is Dan already drunk and passed out now?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 14 September 2003 16:18 (twenty-three years ago)

you don't have to freeze luksosowa!

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 14 September 2003 16:34 (twenty-three years ago)

smoother-by-a-factor-of-20 still doesn't make Gilbey's vodka remotely palatable. Still, this thread has inspired me to finish it off. I'm ~~enjoying~~ choking it down with some cranberry.

― Aaron A., Sunday, 14 September 2003 19:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I only had the one glass last night and I was LOOOOOOOOOOSE and LUVELY. I must rectify this by having another glass tonight.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 14 September 2003 21:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Drink it. But if it was Virgin vodka, clean the oven out with it.

― Roderick the Visigoth. (Jake Proudlock), Sunday, 14 September 2003 21:07 (twenty-three years ago)

cheap voska is the worst of all spirits

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 14 September 2003 21:37 (twenty-three years ago)

drink it, but mix it.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 15 September 2003 02:15 (twenty-three years ago)

chug that shit

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Monday, 15 September 2003 02:21 (twenty-three years ago)

cheap voska is the worst of all spirits

lies. cheap gin is like being hit with a gold brick wrapped around a slice of lemon < / douglas adams >.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Monday, 15 September 2003 02:42 (twenty-three years ago)

dave is right. cheap gin is almost as bad as meths

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 15 September 2003 02:56 (twenty-three years ago)

four years pass...

uh yeah

if someone leaves a bottle of skyy vodka at your place, you're required to drink it.

period.

― Surmounter, Thursday, 31 January 2008 03:23 (eighteen years ago)

Well thanks for clearing that up for me.

― HI DERE, Thursday, 31 January 2008 03:53 (eighteen years ago)

yup no probs

― Surmounter, Thursday, 31 January 2008 03:54 (eighteen years ago)

If it was Tito's Handmade, you're required to pour it slowly, and gaze at the door thinking they might come in to reclaim it. Continue until bottle is gone or the door opens.

― mh, Thursday, 31 January 2008 04:07 (eighteen years ago)

five years pass...

I would. Probably best before anyone was the wiser.
