Booze Will Be Less Harsh Next Time

Hey guys,

I know the booze was pretty vinegar-y. I'm sorry about that.

Lest I deter anyone from being thirsty, I'm going to do a bit of experimentation between events to get the flavor right--at the very least I will definitely be reducing the amount of vinegar.

Man, I actually liked it this way... But then, I'm weird.

I was also a fan. Shouldn't have drank so much of it though.

It was awesome, but certainly only in moderation. It was great as "the really strong stuff" but a smoother drink would be nice.

I liked it a lot, because it was tasty, but also because it was verisimilitudinously difficult to shoot and stomach large quantities of. Not in an actually uncomfortable way, for me, but I feel like it's a lot easier to remember you're supposedly to be drinking 100-proof alcohol when it's not as easy going down as kool-aid.

I agree as well, I would leave it, but have more easy drinking options too

A 40oz beer equivalent would be nice smiling smiley

Exactly what other folks said! I did 6 shots of that stuff (goodgods) and I did legitimately feel ill after that, by no fault of my own. It was a great cue for me to go "well, dang. Evie should be plastered by now..."

I appreciated the strong taste too- it helped suspend disbelief nicely.

It made it really easy to play a lightweight who doesn't like booze.

I mean... I drink straight salad dressing, so I thought it was alright.

Is that like chewing ice?
What repressed feeling are associated with salad dressing?

My only problem with it was that I liked it TOO much, drank more than Blair would have, and then ended up with a slightly sad tummy but NO ACTUAL REGRETS.

Probably some deep seated childhood trauma that I never found a proper outlet for. That or I just like salad dressing.

I suppose in all fairness, I don't chug it from the bottle, but when I have some leftover after eating a salad, I just drink it, regardless of how much there is. It should also be noted that I really only use oil and vinegar, so I'm not, say, guzzling ranch or something.

I'm sorry, Bruce. These boys get that syrup in 'em, they get all antsy in their pantsy.

I agree with the "keep it as the strong stuff" crowd. plus, Cider Vinegar is actually great for you, so there's that.

Very well, then! Thanks for the feedback. I'll do one of each--a little gentler and a little stronger.

I loved the apple vinegar. It had that "oh god that's awful, give me another" effect like alcohol.
