"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

I thought buttchugging earned you more nutrients than just drinking stuff?

I pour fizzy drinks into glasses because I'm not a barbarian. Also because that's where the vodka is.

No see what you do is open a bottle of coke, chug a quarter of it, fill it back up with vodka or rum, put the lid back on, invert it gently a few times, then go to fuckin town

Day drink like a pro and use Gatorade instead of coke, its got electrolytes.

Use 95% ABV Everclear. That way you'll really go to town.

Actually my current go-to "I don't care about being fancy" drink is Dr Pepper with a splash of Everclear. It helps me use it up since it's simply not possible to shoot straight.

Dr Pepper may be uncomfortably fizzy, but a pro tip for sensitive palates is to let it settle and outgas a bit before doing shots.

Alcohol is considered a performance enhancing drug for trick shooting because it steadies your hands. Doubly so if you've got DTs.

I've brought that backpacking along with crystal lite pouches. Mix it up with some glacier water at camp and you have icy cold lightweight booze.

I've also carried camping fuel in one of these:

Whet I think he's saying is that he uses Dr Pepper to dilute everclear because drinking it straight is deadly.

Yeah, that's what it is. I took a shot of it once and it didn't go well.

You should know that you shouldn't be putting something in your mouth when the bottle is room temperature but the liquid is cold when it hits your tongue.

I've been assured you can drink camping fuel if you're real hard up. They're probably fine.

So long as you filter it, it's fine. Use burnt bread or charcoal fishtank filters

Most (all?) alcohol camping fuel sold in stores is denatured so anyone pilfering from your backpacking kit is going to have to be REAL HARD UP to choke that down.

I'm working my way through the backlog of the PYF Dangerous Chemistry thread, and this topic came up right about where I am in the backlog. General thread consensus is that the myth that bread in any form can filter methanol is likely bullshit, though an actual experiment is needed. Still, I wouldn't trust my eyesight to a loaf of burnt bread.

For the interested, the discussion starts here:

Phanatic posted:

Okay, so in WWII a lot of American torpedoes were powered by a tiny little steam turbine engine burning 180-proof ethanol as fuel. Since you can't put a bunch of tanks of high-proof booze on a Navy ship without the crew drinking it all, this was denatured with methanol.

But as there's no end to which sailors will go in order to get shitfaced(*), American ingenuity supposedly showed itself and they figured out that if you squeezed a loaf of bread up into a tight block and filtered the torpedo fuel through it, you could filter out the methanol.

I say "supposedly" because I can't figure out how that would effectively filter methanol. The difference in size between an ethanol molecule and a methanol one is tiny, they're pretty chemically similar, and I can't think of anything that would cause methanol to preferentially ad/absorb to bread. My suspicion is that the whole "filter it through bread" thing was basically a superstition and that the occasionally unlucky bastard would still just go blind anyway. Figure I'd ask here.

* - Later on the Navy stopped denaturing it with methanol and started adding croton oil so if you drank it you wouldn't go blind, you'd just violently poo poo yourself. So the crew would build their own stills and just distill the fuel.

Wouldn't it just be more cost/ time/ sick bay/ torpedo propulsion efficient to just give the crew more alcohol?

No rum ration for the navy since 1862, and no alcohol at all since 1914.

I'll leave it up to you to calculate the minimum amount of alcohol 500 sailors consider "adequate" for a journey lasting weeks to months.

Allegedly the bread has to be burnt. Something about the burnt carbon and filtering and blah blah blah. I'm sure it's bullshit, but it's a hilarious image to conjure up - some dude with a burnt piece of bread trying to filter isopropyl alcohol to make it drinkable :lol:
