Rum sucks, I meant good vodka

Ah right, with you.

Here is the article by the way - http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=2759942. It's why RS is banned for sale in many countries.

Currently in my freezer is the red absolut (50% stuff)

goes down rather nicely

Do try and check out 42 Below then. I only drink vodka, gin and bourbon and I'll take a bottle of this stuff over almost anything else I can get my hands on. Nothing comes close until you get to the £35+ bracket.

Actually don't try it, you wouldn't like it. Let me drink it for you.

7 pints of Mansfield bitter.

Then started the double house whiskys and cokes (really really bad idea)

I can't remember the walk home, or getting home for that matter :eek:

Was working for new year for a first time

Managed to fill an empty wine bottle with the punch that was used for the reception drinks. Took it home after finishing. No idea what was in it but was really nice. As for a first, I had haggis for the first time with mashed potatoes n turnip

yum yum!

I advise you try the meals, extremely good value. I only get annoyed at the mis-spelling because my GF says it too and it drives me MAD!

I hear that getting chucked out of a Wetherspoon's is the new black. Height of class, and all that.

Quite difficult to do though I believe, I've had mates fall asleep in there before and still not get thrown out. I haven't been in a Wetherspoon's for a year or two now though so maybe they have changed that.

Any hardcore vodka drinkers should really check out 42 Below. It's rather special for a sub £20 bottle.

Sounds interesting, Stoli is generally under £20 (easily) is it not so this would have to be pretty decent to make it a good alternative. Must now remember to pick up a bottle of this and Russky Imperia whenever I next have cash to spare.

Gilly and Chris1712: How was the Blavod?

Not too bad actually, went down smoother than smirnoff red and own brand rough, but that could have been due to its frozen-ness

. I drank probably 5 shots straight and the rest with redbull or oj.

And yes i was sick black. Oh and it sort of mixes well with apple sourz, though it seems pretty damn potent :eek:

.

I had a great NYE.

alx · 3 Jan 2007 at 00:48

Had 'some' Belvedere vodka on NYE which was rather nice. Was also drinking something called a Newton's Law which is vodka, apple sourz and lemonade (club in Bath does it) - very nice. Turned out to be an awesome new years even though I don't remember large parts of it

TommoUK · 3 Jan 2007 at 00:54

I didn't drink too much on NYE itself, just beer really, but in the early hours of NYD I can't say I completely remember what I drank.

I'm sure it was good though

Ironic Namesake · 3 Jan 2007 at 01:01

Nothing new .. just the usual Vodka redbull/JD Coke

Stopped experimenting at home after doing a few pints of half vodka/half JD :rolleyes:
