[...] next to the frosted flakes. I originally purchased it in my search for a cheaper alternative to Amarula Cream Liqueur. And even though it’s not too far off, it’s definitely no Amarula. When drinking it [...]

Comment on See a Movie And Get Drunk For Less Than $10 by Amanda

Man I hated people like you. I was stuck working at the movie theater for 2 years in high school to save for college and assholes like you made my life a living hell demanding free things no matter how many times I explained I couldn’t give it to you. We’re not stupid… we remember the people we sell to and know you didn’t buy anything. To make my life more bearable… I always told my manager that you were a total asshole and stole the cup and tub and you got jack shit. I also relished kicking kids out of movies. That’s how us movie theater employees get through our miserable lives at chain cinemas.

Zaya used to be made in Guatemala, but the entire operation has reportedly now been relocated to Trinidad. Those who have tasted both the Guatemalan rum and the Trinidad rum say that they are very similar, but not exactly the same. Bottling remains the same, except for Trinidad instead of Guatemala on the label. I don’t care where it is made, this is EXCELLENT rum as long as the rummaker ahd his recipe remain the same, which reportedly it has.

I recently tried this for the first time. The bottle I purchased had a blue-cheese aroma and flavor. I returned the bottle suspecting it was simply a bad cork however the second bottle had the same problem. Since I’ve never tried this before I don’t know whether it’s me or the intended flavor.

Comment on How To Get Drunk Fast by Chris

This is directed to everyone; when you go drink to get fucked, make sure that you turn your cell off and leave it with someone else. I was at a party a few days ago, drank a little too much (passed out on my buddy’s couch after puking for a few hours and dry heaving) and I got my cell out and texted lots of people on my contact list. Lets just say I spent the next day with a very bad hangover and apologizing to my girlfriend :P

Comment on The 8 Best Hangover Cures Ever by Sam

This has been a simple trick has never failed me once: a slice or two of bread before bed. The carbs help maintain obviously, but it also seems to “sop up” the residual alcohol in your stomach, perhaps giving your body just enough breathing room to process all that alcohol. Probably a crock scienctifically, but what’s the harm of snacking on a slice of bread eh? Seems to calm nausea as well…

Water, or anything besides alcohol, should be a given (before and/or after a night drinking) - cotton-mouth is a dirty bastard, combat it on all fronts. A slice of bread and some gatorade will do the trick; maybe an aspirin or something in the morning (although i’ve not really needed it)

!!***CAUTION***!!
I read through some of the responses here - be warned: DO NOT TAKE TYLENOL (ACETEMECTAPHIN), ASPIRIN, or even IBUPROFUEN before going to bed when your smashed. Alcohol + OTC pain relievers = TOXIC!!! (granted I’m unsure about ibuprofuen and aspirin, but better safe than sorry. Additionally, the half-life of iburofuen is about 2 hours per 200mg- residual preventative effects the next morning are unlikely. Also Aspirin is a blood thinner, so is alcohol - you do the math.)

20/20 did a spread on it - some 5,000 people die from alcohol+ACETEMECTAPHEN consumption every year trying to prevent the hang-over - DON’T DO IT!!! The next morning is alot safer, provided the next morning isn’t in under 4-5 hours, let your blood-alcohol levels drop first.

Comment on How To Make Real Eggnog by chefgee

For all those out there who really don’t like the idea of raw egg whites or aren’t fans(and yeah, I’m a trained baker) beaten egg whites floating amongst the cooked egg(like me)because you can’t guarantee that your eggs are organic or how long they’ve been hanging out at the store before you’ve bought them, leave it out! I’ve made my own nog for years and have treated the eggs like I do when making a custard base(which is all egg nog is), by simply holding back the all the whites, and saving them for another recipe(like mousse), or separating only 1 of the eggs and have 1 whole egg and 3 yolks in with the hot milk. I’ve also beat the yolks together with a tablespoon or 2 of some of the sugar to get them to a thick, creamy light yellow color before adding to the hot milk(use an electric mixer if you don’t have the arm strength). My final suggestion would be to add a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract along with your bourbon. I’ve used a combination of bourbon and rum as well, and if you’re feeling very real feisty, add some cognac too.
