bowmore posted:I have a strong stomach. I only ever throw up when I'm sick or horribly drunk but I gag really quickly. A couple of weeks ago I was walking to a bar and I stopped talking for a moment because I saw a particularly big pile of dog poo poo and I was about ready to retch. My housemate finds this endlessly amusing.

The only two times I have thrown up in the last 5 years was because of 1. Bird Flu and 2. Trying to go drink for drink with my old man on his 56th birthday. He is still the master.

I learned two things last night. 1)4loko still exists. 2)It really shouldn't. This is probably the worst hangover I've ever had.

Mr. Bad Guy posted:Big Island or Oahu? What's your recipe? Oahu. 5 gallons applejuice 5 cans frozen applejuice concentrate 2-5 pounds brown sugar, depending on how sweet you like it 1 package champagne yeast 1 measure yeast nutrient Prime the yeast, then throw everything together in glass jugs or a carboy. Seal with a bung and an airlock (I fill mine with vodka to keep it sterile). Wait 2-3 weeks for it to come to proof. Get drunk as gently caress. Related, I think homemade booze will make for some pretty bachelor Christmas gifts.

Alternating shots of pickle juice + cheap vodka (was considering Rothschild's but decided on HRD because :oregon:) and lime juice with same. I think this is a bad plan but it tastes so good

True story, the best drunk I ever had was alternating shots of vodka and just eating green olives that had cloves of garlic stuck in 'em. Ended the night at White Castle. The next morning, I farted and three people died. Edit: Because of this thread, I'm trying a Brass Monkey for the first time and it's delicious.

kastein posted:Oh, and for killing wasps/bugs/spiders/anything - buy a can of chlorine free brakleen at the auto parts store, the kind that lists acetone and heptane as the only ingredients. Insert spraying straw (it's the red one that comes with the can, looks like a coffee stirrer) and shoot them from like 3 feet away. They die instantly. I get some weird school safety training, and they suggest keeping a can of wasp spray around the classroom instead of pepper spray since it's a really bad idea to carry pepper spray (it's more likely to be used by a jackass student than to actually come in handy) in school. Turns out that it has a longer range than your average civilian pepper spray and really does not feel good when sprayed in your eyes. Students don't think "teeheehee I wonder what happens when I spray this"  so it's less of a risk to keep around. Yes, middle and high school students are that stupid.The expert who does these trainings said that after he gave a training to teachers in a small school in the middle of nowhere, the owner of the hardware store in town called him because he was confused why he was selling cases and cases of wasp spray after he came and talked to the school.

My sister and I watched this terrible film called 'Burlesque', which stars Cher and Christina Aguilera. To make it more fun, we made up a drinking game. The only rule was 'drink when Cher is sassy'. We ran out of crappy wine within like half an hour.

Put a little vermouth in the chilled glass, twirl it around so it coats the sides, then toss out the excess or funnel it back into the bottle.

A correctly made martini and correctly made old fashioned are the only two cocktails that should matter to anybody. And no loving orange or cherry or seltzer/soda/anything juice in an old fashioned. People who do things like that should never be allowed near bourbon and rye.

kastein posted:A pair of shot glasses make excellent lens containers, just make sure you remember which is which by putting one on each end of the counter. And put something over the top to keep the saline from evaporating. My brother once drank some lady's contacts (and the solution they were kept in) because she'd put them in a shot glass. Gotta have that morning fixer, never mind you find the drink in the toilet.

Well, you read the ingredients list (which is legally required to be on the can) before you buy the stuff. If it's the eco friendly kind that's usually some essential oil and a few other things, sure. If it's the kind that has chemical names 4 lines long involving lots of numbers, commas, and hyphens, (1,2-diparaamide 3-methyl 8-nonoctyl-chloro-methyl-ethyl-badshit, etc) then run the gently caress away and please don't spray that at anyone.

DemeaninDemon posted:What's in it? A bunch of heavy organics (lots of numbers, commas, and hyphens)? Depends. Chlorine free: * common recipe 1: acetone, heptane. This poo poo is mostly benign aside from burning like crazy in both eyes and fires. It's toxic, but you have to gently caress up really bad for it to actually matter. * common recipe 2/3: involve toluene, xylol/xylene, ethylbenzene, etc. Nasty poo poo. Try to avoid these IMO Chlorine containing: * carbon tet, iirc. And various benzene-based chlorinated organics. Nothing really heavy molecule/structure wise, just nasty benzene derivatives. Brakleens are all very fast acting, very fast evaporating, very thin solvents, so none of them are going to be all that large structurally.

In bachelor chat, there is a goon that has pried open a can of spaghetti-os and is chugging it out of the can while he takes swigs of premade margarita drink at room temperature. We have reached peak bachelor. Oh god, he just held up a can of pork and beans to the camera. This is going to end poorly, but a night that will go down in bachelor history. https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/7ecpj97r4jr38vjfegiavshlsk?hl=en

Also, my friend with celiac (is a celiac? has celiac disease?) couldn't find anything to eat in my house, so she just drank a bottle of marinara sauce with a glass of black tea/rum. I hope to someday get to that level.

This is the very best sentence. Sadly my bachelorisms are in slightly short supply because I've not had the chance to really unwind lately, but I'm looking forward to getting back to microwaved food/Jack+coke/X-Files marathons in my underwear, while on a fully nocturnal sleep schedule.

Wasabi the J posted:All you alcohol purists make me sick. Being lazy and efficient does not excuse making a lovely drink You can be lazy but efficient at a lot of things but don't loving screw up a good drink it's even really easy! Put your glass in the freezer as you start grabbing ingredients, put just a few ice cubes in a shake and pour in some vermouth, shake just a little bit. Dump the vermouth out (hope you didn't use much) and grab the glass again, put the ice in. Fill the shaker with way more ice and put in the gin, shake til the metal shaker gets frosty on the outside, pour the gin (but not the ice) into the glass. Add an olive on a toothpick, stir with toothpick, sit down in computer chair, sip martini and eat a couple dozen more olives If you really want to expedite the process you can bring all the ingredients with you and do it the other way where you just coat the inside of the glass with vermouth and not even bother with ice but it won't be as tasty unless you keep all your booze in a mini fridge by your desk like me
