Alcohol

3 Conversations

And on the 8th day God invented XXXX.

There are many glorious things in life- sex, baseball, DVD, but none of these match the most significant discovery in the history of the human race- vodka and coke

Here is my brief guide to alcohol, the stuff of life-

First- whether to drink a drink or not.

Look at the alcohol percentages to see how much you can drink-

100%- none, it would kill you

75%- very little. It would also have to be home brewed.

50%- Ah, now we're talking. With a sufficient mixer, you could probably get away with about two pints of the spirit.

40%- Vodka (or something similar)- Mix with coke, and drink until passing out (about five pints, when you take the coke off)

10%- strong belgian beer, get a few gallons down your throat and stop moaning

5-9%- Normal(ish) beer- drink it all night

2-5%- poncy beer- don't bother, you could drink it all night

<2%- You'd be better off drinking your own urine, it tastes better, and if you've been following my advice, it'd also be about 60% proof.
