Vodka: The Ultimate No-Tell Booze?

[Frankennietzsche]

Goddamn commie bullshit, that's what I says.

[Jem]

I've been drinking Vodka on the quiet, over the last three weeks or so, disguised as pints of cordial/squash. I'm not proud of having to hide my drinking, it is merely a short term coping method to deal with the horrible mistake I made in moving in with my present partner. Secretly it is of course brilliant fun. I'm not usually a consumer of vodka but there were a few bottles of it in the cabinet and it is easily hidden visually. So far no one seems to have noticed that I am maintaining a nice buzz throughout the evening by consuming about a third of bottle a night. So far so good.

Newport Pagnell must just throb with your vibrancy...

Nothing throbs with vibrancy. Hence the vodka.

Don't all hard liquors essentially start out as vodka? Before you put them into casks and such...

Doesn't this make all hard liquors "flavored vodka?"

Cheers!

can see where you are coming from, but vodka is distilled in a column still which is very efficient but leaves less flavour than a traditional pot still. Bourbon and single malt scotch and cognac are distilled in pot stills, which leave more character from the wash in the spirit. Blended whisky, most Irish Whiuskey, and most brandy are a mix of these spirits for character, and spirit produced in a column still for economy. Your point is collect in a loose sense, but there are subtle differences in the way different spirits are made.

You, sir, are a man above men. I raise a toast to you.

Now once I get these damn kids out of my house, I will finally have a decent still to whet the appetite.


It;s taken me many attempots to write re- this, and they are finally leaving.

I got a new song, I need to find the song thread.


Cheers, good man.

If your blood is infused with alcohol, you will aspirate the odor of it. Vodka may not leave the tattletale secondary scents of bourbon or wine or beer on your breath, but you smell like ethanol. If the people around you act like they do not smell booze on you it is probably because people normally try to avoid confrontation or embarrasing situations. I learned this by expierience. I am now at a stage in my life where I drink as much as I want and I dont give a fuck if people can smell it or not. I'm a drunk. It's what I do.

This reminds me of a great quote from Burroughs, "There is one mark you can't beat. The one on the inside."

You could start acting all germophobe like Howie Mandel. Then just carry hand sanitizer around with you and use it all the time. It reeks of the ethynol that is in it so it drys quickly. Pretty soon people get used to that smell around you. Then you're gold.

Or has this been stated before? I know this is not my own idea. Just can't recall where i heard or read it from.

Ha, I do that occasionally after a night out. We have several sanitizer stations throughout my building so I will put on a big show of using them.

That would actually explain quite a bit...I was proud of the fact I never smelt like alcohol. I was only told once at work, and a couple times by the old lady. I need to start putting on an exta splash of old spice before I head out to work.

There is a simple joy involved with being secretly drunk which compairs to nothing else.
