    Wow you don't negotiate.

    Mixed vodka drinks taste the same no matter what brand you use, that's what I keep hearing.

    Now if you're trying it straight up, and I don't know many people like that, then you will notice a difference. Not necessarily a "higher quality" one though.
    </div>

    They might taste the same, but you won't feel the same the next day if you drink the crappy stuff.
    </div>

    I saw a recent 20/20 report bashing Grey Goose's taste. Thought you might be interested in knowing that.
    </div>

    Lol, I mix but with only good shit. Grey Goose is shit. I drank that stuff when I was starting out. I won't spend less then 80 on a bottle of vodka. When I get drunk, I want the stuff to be high end.
    </div>

    I don't really understand what the difference is if you can't discern one brand's taste from another's...
    </div>

    You can tell the difference. Grey Goose has some after taste, but really good vodka doesn't have much taste at all. You don't even know you're getting drunk until you're running naked in the streets.

    ^^ yea, if the taste is the same, then they both contain ethanol, which is what gets you drunk. The same ethanol will give you the hangover whether it tastes great or tastes crappy.

    My friends have told me various vodkas barely have any after taste. It all gets you drunk pretty much the same.

    I'm just trying to help your piggy bank. : O

    I don't buy that crap about different alcohols give you different hangovers. I never get hang overs though, worst I ever get is an annoying headache right when I get up but after a cuople bottles of water and a cup of coffee its gone. And of course I have beer shits for most of the day. I guess I wouldn't really know then lol but it just doesn't seem like different alcohols would give different hangovers. I've got perfect genetics for drinking; 3/8 irish, 1/4 german, 1/4 italian, 1/8 french.

    One thing I do subscribe in is that mixing hard liquor with beer is a recipe for yacking. "Beer before liquor you're gonna be sicker, liquor before beer you're in the clear".

    As for the tastes. There is virtually no difference in mixed drinks no matter what brand of vodka you use. I really don't think theres much difference in "taste" among different alcohols, the difference is how smooth they are. Also you have to keep in mind that when intoxicated a lot of things are mental. Intoxication is like 40% mental, people who believe that they are super drunk are going to act super drunk, people who believe they aren't very drunk will act less drunk. I've read about it in a couple of books. Explains why a lot of chicks act like fuggin retards after drinking 1 or 2 drinks, they're not just annoying bitches contrary to popular belief, they actually think they're really drunk so they act more drunk.

    Same thing goes with tastes though IMO. After you've had 4, 5, 6 beers it doesn't even matter what you drink after that. I can't stand Miller but shotgunned a 32 oz. of it after I was already 5 or 6 beers deep. Tastes like all the other beers when you're drunk. In my estimation its about the same for shots. Hell one of my buddies keeps a bottle of Grey Goose and fills it up with Wolfschmidt all the time. Then when girls come over he gives it to them and its the same reaction every time "OMG I love this stuff *has a shot* Ohhhh its so good". Bottom line is unless you're an alcohol connoisseur theres not a lot of discernible difference. Also factor in the "placebo affect"- if people think its Grey Goose they're going to think its awesome. Even if it tastes like shit would they say they don't like that Grey Goose? No they want to look like badasses and pound a couple shots of it.

    I was a rum man for awhile, but after waking up in a pool of my own vomit, I haven't touched it.

    Vodka is good, when mixed. Spending no less than $80 on Vodka is ridiculous. Stop acting like a douche, you can't tell the difference.

    haha seriously MS, what kind of a big wig do you think you are. I mean a true gentleman values a distinguishing character to his libation, rather than a distinguished price [​IMG]

    Plus isn't it a bit of a waste that you're becoming such a conessieur about a drink that's nothing more than a mixer?

    Hey, Vodka is awesome and even when you mix it, it should be good. Just because I believe in high priced vodka doesn't mean I'm a douche. I'm just a little bit classier then you. And, being the conessieur that I am, I need to keep up a good rep.

    You only buy high-end vodka and then mix it? You're a total alcohol newb. I expect that from a 15 year old drinker though.

    I don't like Vodka that's not mixed. Just to clarify this to anyone.
