Steel Reserve is vile!! At least with cheap vodka you get fucked up quick

With vodka higher end stuff can be pretty smooth, but not smooth enough to make it worth the money imo
Whiskey's aging process definitely mellows it and adds depth. I love a nice 18+ year scotch aged in sherry casks. Had Macallan 30 at a tasting once, really no burn at all and tasted unlike anything I've had before. I wouldn't even pay 10% of what it costs though
I worked doing wine tastings for a while. Cheap stuff is drinkable but mostly tastes watery and lacks a punch. Things get much more interesting as you get to higher end stuff, but once you get around $50 the differences start getting less and less noticeable

Spot on Feevers high end scotch is certainly the pinnacle of drinking. I have little experience with wine so I will defer to your judgement. My favorite scotch is Oban.

I snipped a little but agree. Vodka you can only get so clean, so once you hit a certain point it’s not going to get any better. Whiskey you can play with a little more because there’s a recipe to it. With wine all that mattered to me was I don’t like it acidic but I never had to go above $14 to find a good bottle so all that $100 wine I never drank unless someone else was paying.
Beer is a different story, again because there’s a recipe to it. I liked 211 and have drank a good bit of it. Out of all of them beer you can talk the most bullshit about because there’s just so many ways to do it.

I don't know the last time I drank was red wine and I didn't enjoy it really that much. Before that I drank some irish whiskey and import rare beers. It was alright. You have to drink a lot to get drunk and I'm sorta tired of the effect of booze, it's boring. At least if you take a few hits of meth you can feel it.

The best cheap beer is Genesee Cream Ale. $20 a case.
From there, Yuengling is killer. $25 a case.
Cheap vodka works, expensive vodka works the same but has less flavor.
Bourbon is better than whiskey, and good bourbon is the shit. It's great straight, no ice.
Finally, a Dorito is pizza. There's no denying it. So get on with it you lowlifes.
-------------------- Enjoy the process of your search without succumbing to the pressure of the result. A Dorito is pizza, change my mind. Bank and Union with The Shroomery at the Zuul on The internet - now with %'s and things I’m sorry it had to be me.

Anyone ever try 'blue 100'?... That shit is basically mouthwash with sugar added.
But it's relatively cheap for how strong it is.. 50% alcohol and goes down way too easy, even considering it pretty much tastes like blue Listerine, just sweeter... 17 year old me loved it, but;
The only 2 times I drank it were catastrophic... I fell into a bonfire twice, got a black eye with stitches on my brow that to this day I have no idea how I got, don't even remember being in the hospital or how I got there, completely fucked up my friends garage wall with a hammer for no apparent reason, got taken home by a girl named firebush who was absolutely hideous (I have no idea what happened there, I don't remember leaving the party, just woke up at home and couldn't find my shoes, which turned up outside her house in the middle of the road once the snow melted a few months later, no one knows what actually happened because she moved a few days later and no one I know had talked to her before then)
And the hangovers, dear god.. I had to stop brushing my teeth and shit for awhile because even the smell of toothpaste would make me gag, basically anything blue and minty will give me a sudden wave of nausea to this day... Never again lol

I would consider that middle range, it tastes just like the cheaper shit tho, and the cheap shit isn't even much different than the high end shit really.
The one cheap vodka that does actually taste like ass (more like camping fuel or acetone) is Blackstone, good god, some bottles seem to be alright, but others I could be extracting DMT with I'm sure

Someone left a Steel Reserve 24 ouncer at the bottom of the stairs of my apartment complex. Ground score!
That's actually the 2nd 24 ouncer i've found in my life unopened

When I traveled to China last year I brought back a couple bottles of Chinese Red Star 54% liquor costing about a $ per bottle
Now I dont drink but my friends told me it was a pretty special level of awful

Well at the bar if you get sky vodka they don't charge much at all. Almost the same price as well vodka.

Vodka quality can be greatly improved by running it through one of those water purifying filters
