Can I Freshen Up Your Rubbing Alcohol?
When I was in college, I drank a variety of horrible concoctions. My favorite drink of choice was Sunny D and Osco Brand Vodka. Occasionally, I would mix it up with Crystal Palace or Five O’Clock Brand Vodka, whatever was on sale at the time. All three tasted like rubbing alcohol and burned like hell going down. My friend Candice and I would fill up Rubbermaid water bottles almost to the top with the vodka, then fill the rest with Sunny D. It was a LITTLE strong to say the least, but it did the job well. We would be drunk in no time flat. The parties we attended were usually BYOB and these were so much easier to carry than cases of beer and cheaper because we wouldn’t have to pay to use the keg.
Vodka was always my liquor of choice. You could mix it with virtually anything so the possibilities where endless. One night, in a pinch, I even mixed it with Pepsi and it wasn’t as disgusting as it sounds. I also remember taking shots of things that no human being should consume. I’ve done shots of Goldschlager (which makes me gag even thinking about it) and my personal favorite, tequila poppers. I had these beauties my sophmore year in college and after that night, I have never been able to drink tequila again. We mixed a shot of tequila with Sprite, slammed the shot glass down so it “popped,” then drank it. I did one after another which resulted in me urinating myself as well as puking in the sink in my dorm room. Not good. To this day, I hate even the smell of margaritas.
I especially love it when people try to get creative at parties and make up their own cocktails. My friend Samantha did this one year at a Halloween party and we still make fun of her because of it. She read a recipe in a magazine for an alcoholic drink that contained allspice as one of the main ingredients. Here’s a tip, allspice and alcohol don’t mix. To give you an idea of what it tasted like just try this: shit in a blender and fill it with equal parts vodka and Tang. Then sprinkle some allspice on top. Hmm…yummy!
Now that I’m a bit wiser, I stick to plain old beer or white wine. I’m past the days of experimenting with my liquor. I’m sure my body and my taste buds are thankful for this.
I see you too acquired your taste of premium vodka from raiding mom & dad’s liquor cabinet. Of course, by the time you were dipping into it, you were getting the watered down leftovers from when I was in high school. Nothing like 13 year old diluted Osco brand vodka. YUMMY!!
My choice was peach schnapps. To this day I cant even use shampoo that smells like peaches.
thanks to red avalanche (the cool bottle with the crystals that form inside), i cant chew big red or eat those little cinnamon candies. and also thanks to avalanche, i quit smoking after barfing a cinnamon rainbow into a fully loaded hubcap ashtray, inhaling to barf again, but instead vaccuuming up tons of ash into my mouth and lungs. “screw the patch- avalanche!”
Kelly- Actually I never drank from Mom & Dad’s liquor cabinet b/c I knew you had watered down all the bottles! There was a Jewel-Osco close to my apartment on campus so that’s why I bought it.
Carol- I think one of my friends feels the same way about peach schnapps.
Ryan- I have never heard of Red Avalanche, but it sounds delicious
Hey, at least it got you to quit smoking. That’s always a good thing!
My drink of choice was Bacardi and cherry vodka. I managed to drink so much peach schnapps that I can’t go near it even 14 yrs later. I also topped my parents alcohol off with some stout H20. I thought I was the only brilliant one to come up with that idea?
By the way, never hang out with anyone named Candice. We are a bad influence.
Candice- I thought you my friend Candice at first! Yes, you girls are wild
But actually, I was the bad influence on her b/c she’s 3 years younger than me and was under-age at most of these parties.
