Whiskey vs gin

[cedarbreed]

Can anyone explain why whiskey gets you 10 times drunker than gin when the average alcohol rate of gin is 37% and the whiskey one is 40 % ?

 

[Bambi]

cos gin is an unmitigated head fucker of a drink

Gins for birds

 

[cedarbreed]

Gin can make you drunk, it's ok for me.

 

[DragonLady1]

whisky is better anyway

whos that glen danzig look alike we were having this conversation with at that gig??

also note: saying whiskey and gin is misleading, there plain gin that little old ladies drink, then theres GIN

same with whiskey, ive heard certain people here refer to tescos brand brown spirits as whiskey

 

[cedarbreed]

Ok I was talking about Jameson vs London Dry Gin in fact

 

[Bambi]

Hes some bloke I met in Kilmainham, I think hes a singer as well. And it wasnt Tescos brand it was Millars Gold 'a fine blend of selected spirits' (or something like that). Worked on me anyway, even if it did taste like stomach acid. But thats the price of heavy metal!

 

[Bambi]

i knew he had to be a singer, its just makes sense. mehdi would understand

Isn't it the one that's blue ? Or at least in a blue bottle ? It looks good but it's twice more expensive

 

[Bambi]

yeah theres a reason for that...

 

[Allan]

Whisky all the way.

Some girl gave me that Bombay Saphire thing last week, yaiks, not for me.

 

[cedarbreed]

Yeah but can someone explain to me why ???

 

[Bambi]

errmm because whiskey is 40% and gin is 37%?? that three percent is a killer
cos youre a puff who can only drink little wimmens drink like gin??
who knows?? just be thankful!!

 

[Allan]

Anyone tried this? Maddest thing I ever drank.

apparently the colour of your seleceted tipple is an indication of the level of intoxication you can expect from it,gin,vodka ,saki,schnapps etc contain less oxidising chemicals which affect the liver than spirits such as whisky.these can also contribute to hangovers which are predominately attributed to liquors of a darker colour.

 

[Bambi]

which is why i drink vodka more often than whiskey these days

 

[Bambi]

theres soemthing inherently wrong about discussing alcohol on the interweb at 11 pm on a friday.
but still i wanna be up early tomorrow

 

[Allan]

Haha, yeah. Was drinking yesterday and will be again tomorrow, so I'm semi-excused.

Besides, hockey is on in half an hour.
