This. Drinking and driving is stupid.

All sorts of this.

He called a cab. We're trying to get him to drink some water, maybe eat some bread, and then sleep.

That is good. Crackers work too. So it is his birthday?

Hop into the IRC channel. It's been getting steadily worse, and has gotten to the point of being 99% unintelligible.

Appears to be a female friend's birthday actually. I'm trying to convince him that a) she doesn't want to see him like this, and b) a friend would forgive him for missing it.

Bah. Stuff tastes like shit. Limoncello is better, and just about as quick.

It definitely tastes bad. Burns like a motherfucker as well if you take a shot. However, mixing it with some kool-aid isn't half bad, as long as you try to drink your glass as fast as possible. It's the only alcohol that has ever caused me to puke the next morning.

Ah... He's completely wasted then... That sucks.

Fuck that. I've made limoncello with everclear, but it still tastes like ass. Vodka makes a much better batch. Funny enough, Skyy makes the best limoncello--oddly enough, as I won't drink the shit otherwise.

Never had limoncello but I think I'll be making a batch in the near future. As far as vodka-based drinks are concerned, I use Smirnoff for mixed drinks and Grey Goose for shots or on the rocks. Goose is good mainly because most chicks think that it's somewhat high-end and classy and if you ask someone to grab a bottle, they usually know what to look for.

Yeah, I told him to drink a glass of water and eat a few slices of bread before he passes out though.

response to "fuck alcohol":

blasphemer! Thou shalt love alcohol. My uncle said so! Well, 'beer is proof that god loves us'. I just swap god with 'nature'.

Man, translating Richard-speak is nearly impossible. He just threw up rather thoroughly, so he's off getting some more water.

Translating anyone's drunk-speak is usually close to impossible. I do enjoy a challenge though. :D

strange, as vodka isn't really high-proof enough to grab all the oils from the rinds.
Did you dilute it after making it, or just kept it at pure everclear with additives?

Nope, definitely won't. We haven't heard from him in nearly fifteen minutes now. Last message was about drinking more water.

Actually vodka is strong enough to pull the flavor out. Everclear batch was kept as per recipe. I hated the flavor though. Vodka batches are plenty strong for normal folk, even though I can't taste any alcohol.

I made some limoncello and everyone i've given some to thinks it tastes bad, as do I. I'm not sure if I went wrong somewhere. I haven't tried it anywhere else though, so I have no comparison

What recipe did you use? Not all people like limoncello. More for me.

I believe it was something like this:

750ml bottle of 100 proof vodka
+
about 12-15 lemons worth of peel, minus pith

left for about a month

simple syrup, 2 cups water + 2 cups sugar, mixed with the strained vodka + a 2nd bottle of 100 proof vodka

stored for a few more months.
