Guaranteed the manliest liquor you can have. No impurities, no funny taste...just straight up sterility.

Except there can be benzene in it...

absinthe isn't really a 'manly' drink at all although it is fucking awesome.

I would go with rubbing alcohol or moonshine as being the manliest but both of those are shit SO if the OP is looking for something practical he should drink whiskey rocks or whiskey neat. Not scotch, not a blend, but straight whiskey. None of that fruity iceball shit either.

edit: or pruno. You've got some brass motha fuckin balls if you drink pruno on the regular outside of prison.

:laugh: never heard of pruno before this... Found a good explanation as well as very detailed descriptions of the smell :D http://www.blacktable.com/gillin030901.htm

naw, just mentioning that theres other stuff in there than ethanol. if it was only ethaanol, it would be a cheap way to mix drinks (assuming you use the correct amount)

Sorry, but both news stories I've seen about ungodly high BAC from drinking Listerine have been women :laugh:

Same here. In Wisconsin.......wife's uncle has a still in the basement (damn WI cheese farmer)......and has perfected his formula over the last decade or so.

Don't ask me how you 'perfect' av-gas 'cuz that's exactly what the sh!t tasted like!!!

I can honestly say I'll never drink it again!! :shocked:


No question that Moonshine Whiskey is the nastiest stuff I've ever drank .... a friend of mine smuggled some bootleg Tequila back from a vacation in Mexico once & it was just as bad ... god knows what was in that stuff!

Vodka and gin are for women. Tequila is for high school.

Cheap-ass whiskey would be pretty "manly", something like Ol' Grandad. I've had a few bottles, that shit is pretty harsh.

No, that's for idiots with no money and no class.

Drinking cheap harsh booze is for complete dumbasses. Quality > cheapness.

Personally, I drink vodka, and only decent quality vodka at that. Let's see, cheap assed whiskey=80 proof...Grey Goose=80 proof. Hmm, I'll go with Grey Goose. You lose! :p

The manlies I've ever drank though was HRD Vodka at $5.99 for a fifth! Shit was nasty but did the job.

Hood River Distillery ftw! I haven't drank that shit since high school. Truly nasty stuff.

I once heard of army men filtering aqua velva through slices of bread to drink. That's gotta be up there.

Nah, that's just stupid.

Like I said, a proper gin martini with a green olive is the ultimate gentleman's drink :cool:

Whatever you put in front of me.

To me manly is whiskey. And I love me some whiskey. Then again I'm from kentucky and had straight moonshine plenty of times. they don't call it white lightening for nothing.

Aren't there like 50 warning signs on the bottle telling you NOT to drink it? I'm sure the stuff in there does wonders for your body.

A man would not be concerned about his beverage making him look manly. If you need to ask you're not going to get there no matter what you drink.

Thank being said, men drink bourbon or scotch, either neat or with a single ice cube. Do that for a year and ask again, maybe you'll qualify as a guy in training.

It probably added some flavor to make the stuff more palatable, and helped ease their minds because they imagined they were actually making it safer to drink.

I can't believe that bread could really make aqua velva any safer to drink though.

Both are whiskey so I approve.
