Maybe I'm just a pleb, but I can't get into vodka. I love beer, wine, and ale, but vodka just tastes like rubbing alcohol to me. How do I get into vodka?

Veil is really good inexpensive option. Not sure if it's local or not. Living in MN

I just get titos at bars. I'm sure there's better at the liquor store if you want to spend more money

>>8337163
I used to be the same way. I would drink it just to get fucked up, but then I started enjoying it. If you don't like the flavor, drink it ice cold, like as cold as you can get it, and drink it fast and in small ammounts, like shots. Try to miss your tongue completely and make it go straight down your throat.
Eventually, you might start to enjoy the taste. If not, vodka isn't for you.

I hate the way all liquor tastes but I like to get drunk and vodka is somehow less bad than anything else. So I just drink taaka because it's cheaper and good vodka still tastes like shit. Probably gonna start butt chugging it soon if I can figure out how to do it

Ketel one

>>8337197

are any of the flavors worth it?

That Polish grass one

Plastic handle tier: Skol
Cheap tier: Seagram's
Everyday tier: Kettle One
As nice as I'm willing to go for vodka tier: Chopin

That's for what's available in the States. I've tried some pretty nice Russian vodka while abroad that isn't imported here.

Poorfags and God-tier alike: all you need is Barton Vodka and a Brita filter. Run it through 6 times. It's beautifully smooth, and you will never waste money on overpriced vodka ever again.

though I admit, I'm a sucker for a good potato- or grape-based vodka. Chopin, Luksusowa, and Uvix treated me the best.

>>8337708
Doesn't that destroy the filter, as in, reduce its overall usage significantly? Those filters are kind of expensive.

>>8337731
Not that anon but yes, it's not really worth the price of the filters unless you're getting them for dirt cheap somewhere.

You can also just buy activated charcoal and filter large amounts of the cheap shit at one time but with the time investment you're bordering on diminishing returns IMO.

Most vodka is pretty close in quality from my experience compared to other types of liquor. There's not as much of a difference between cheap and expensive vodka compared to, say, cheap and expensive gin.

>>8337375
How so? Obviously I wouldn't butt chug a whole bottle, I'd just try like a shot.

>>8337163
Vodka sucks dude. There’s a reason pretty much nobody drinks it by itself

Sobieski is the best brand ive found, usually about $21 a handle, and quite smooth and neutral and less burn-y than most. Could be the rye or just polish wisdom. Good balance between cheap and expensive and doesn't give shitty hangovers like lower brands.

>>8337379
yup. every flavor taste great, even the honey one. taste like a beehive and not sickeningly sweet. very good.

>>8338181
russian standard is the best. great when room temp or cold. sobieski is too harsh when you need to cry at 6 am.

>>8337968
>activated charcoal
But are your almonds activated?

>>8338038
Not the same anon but absorption rates make it stupid easy to get alcohol poisoning

>wouldn't butt chug a whole bottle, I'd just try like a shot.

I read somewhere just a few (two?) shot glasses can be deadly because it goes into your blood bypassing the liver. No joke.

Sky vodka is best vodka

Do people drink vodka straight?

>>8338181
Yes, but it can be hard to find in small stores. Three Olives is english wheat vodka and about the same price as Sobieski. Of course Costco French wheat vodka is first choice.

>>8337156
i like gordon's and sobieski. they're pretty bottom shelf, too. svedka and finlandia are shit. smirnoff is absolute shit. stoli and ketel one are nice but only if i can feel assed to spend 20-25 of a fifth. for some reason, luksosowa is on sale a lot at the grocery i go to, so i drink that pretty often. tito's is nice, too.

hey and if you're an americunt with access to a costco, the kirkland's american vodka is great and something like $13 per handle

>>8339149
Skyy is overpriced drivel, the only thing it has going for it is the bottle.

>>8337156

Everyone here needs to stop being pretentious lying faggots who say they can pick out all the tiny differences between vodkas like a fucking gas chromatography–mass spectrometry test.
You cant. And every single one tastes like ass, because ethanol itself tastes like ass. Its a vile burning sensation that is universally hated by our very biology.
Please stop being such huge faggots and saying you love vodka and any one brand is vastly better. You're fooling yourselves buying brand loyalty and marketing bullshit, its the drunken buzz that you enjoy, not the act of tasting it. Are you really that stupid?

Anything thats been distilled more then once is not going to be good. Thats a good rule of thumb. Only reason to distill more then once is because the liquor company is buying low quality product. Low quality starter=low quality booze.

>>8339986

Nah Salmiakki Koskenkorva is. It tastes completely like a certain brand of candy which lead to it even being banned for a while since teenagers would drink it, not realizing it was 38% alcohol they were downing (with obvious results).

heard something similar about inhaling alcohol, but you can't really bypass the liver because it filters blood, not food AFAIK.

The problem is that directly putting something in your blood removes the trusty old possibility of puking the shit out so you don't get alcohol poisoning.

>>8343410

Um, not really. You must be new here.

>>8343520
I don't care if it's normal in al/ck/y threads it's still a ridiculous amount and you're going to need a new liver sooner than later.

>>8338099

A fifth a day is about the maximum amount that's -relatively- safe to consume. It's the standard for alcoholics.

Most alcoholics work up to that amount at some point. Attend an AA meeting some time and talk to some before you climb up on a no nothing platform. Some go for a long time consuming that quantity and even hold jobs in any career and profession you can name.

Will they die younger than average if they do it for a couple of decades? Probably. But you could just as easily die randomly from gun violence at an incredibly higher rate than the rest of the world by walking out your front door tomorrow, if you live in america.

Grey Goose and especially Ciroc taste much better than the midtier stuff. Not worth buying regularly but as a gift they're great.

The mid tier stuff all basically taste the same. Smirinoff wins all kinds of awards but I think its the worst of the midtiers.
Once you're below $18~ a bottle its all gonna taste pretty bad and will only work mixed drinks with a strong flavor.

Vodka's vodka if you're mixing it with anything, unless you're into flavored ones it hardly matters.

Why would anyone drink vodka at anything less than 40%? It sort of defeats the point.

>>8347236
Good vodka is supposed to be smooth, have no odor, and leave virtually no taste or burn in the mouth.
This is achieved by filtering out all the random bits of shit that make it burn, leave taste, or smell like rubbing alcohol.

Grey Goose is overpriced. Pretty much as good as your average handle of ruskiejuice. Stoli is one of the better brands, and Belvedere is about as upper shelf as us middle class peons are going to get.

Paul Masson brandies. $10 for a fifth and it tastes pretty damn good

Usually go for Monopolowa, not too cheap or too pricey and it tastes fine. I hear good things about Sobieski but I haven't tried it yet.

It's all more or less the same with a few exceptions, like Tito's which they deliberately make taste funny.
