Save the b. (Dead Guy, which is actually pretty good) for a party you throw.  Dead Guy does not go well with ignominy.

Take d. (Lagunitas) to other people's parties.  They will think you are cool.  You will know it isn't actually that good.

Absolutely. This game definitely calls for getting trashed with the foulest liquor possible. Hate yourself, take a drink.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 5/18
What is the foulest liquor possible?

I've had some weird Chinese stuff that a regular brought a bartender as a "gift" that he was pawning off on the foolishly adventuresome like me that tasted like a damp, unripe walnut (a whole walnut, off the tree, green and hairy).  That might be the foulest.  Then again, there's Cuervo.  I dunno.

Re: Open Gameday Thread, 5/18
There's good foul, like soju. Tastes like turpentine but it mixes well and it knocks me on my ass for 12-24 hours guaranteed. After only one drink.

There's bad foul like whiskey. I can't stand whiskey. Won't touch it.
