Good point. Two half pint bottles is huge.
I mean they add up to a whole pint.

And to think I drank that much over just a few months.

Oh heavens, I better cut back.

Years ago I remember hearing how he bought several brands. I remember hearing that he started supplying Grey Goose to all the "stars" and all their limos for free. He wanted it to be seen by the general public as the drink of the rich and famous (I think).


Seems like a smart guy, with a lot of money.

Solution to your "drinking problem" - - - - - Next time you buy two bottles, send one to me. You won't be sorry! Well, at least I will tell you that you won't be sorry.

Uhh, maybe you don't understand that a full pint of booze is maybe like
10 mixed drinks.

Geeze! Where the fuck are you from? :1orglaugh

In the US you can buy small bottles that fit into your pocket.
The mini bottle is one drink. The half pint is about 4-5 drinks.
Both fit into your pocket.

Anyone every tried the canadian vodka called ICE.

It's pretty good actually.

I'm still a grey goose fan tho.

In America Grey Goose is the cheap stuff too compared to what we pay here. Thats my fav Vodka but over here I pay $80-$85 a litre.

Its worth it tho, I can't get enough of the stuff. Its cool to have a nice bottle sitting when playing Poker :)

Smirnoff here is around $25 a litre I think. In the USA Smirnoff is $25 for the 1.75 litre bottle hehe. We bought a couple of them in Florida last year for making cocktails in the Villa while chilling out during the day. Then the Grey Goose was kept for night time!

Yes lots of cheap shit out there, actually you don't get real or in many times even drinkable vodka in any of the big chains

Both of them are totally drinkable, and not far from what real vodka is

Well you have to import from Russia to get really good stuff, the thing is that noone else than Russians understand and appreciate really good vodka so they can fill the rest of the world with WAY lower quality and make serious profits because noone will ever care

It's definitely drinkable and both - Smirnoff and Stolichnaya are probably the best what you can usually get in the bars

That's incorrect, a bottle of premium vodka from St. Petersburg or Moscow will cost you as much as 100 - 150 USD, the difference in quality is very obvious

You're totally right, the key is that it's totally tasteless, it's just pure heat and no hangover.

Must be consumed ice cold and you should also eat with it, like salmon, other fish or any meat works very well with it, in this way, if you drink really premium stuff you don't risk hangover.

I mean, it's the same as with whisky, if I am in the States I can get good bourbon that's way more drinkable than anything you buy in Europe - it's the same thing, there are not many people around here who would really appreciate quality, so why would you bother selling them anything that's costly to produce?

no, did you try Ketel One vodka?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Ketel One is good so is Belvader

Bourbon is my real drink. I can drink the cheapest US bourbon with no
problem.

I'm not claiming that anyone else would like cheap US whiskey but it's fine
with me. I can drink them all straight up and like it.

I can drink all the bourbon I want and never get stupid, but if it were
vodka, tequilla, rum, gin or scotch, then haul ass away from me!!!
I drank vodka one time and saw a knife fight and snatched the knife out
of the guys hand. FUCK THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I even have the impression it's not as much about the amount of the alcohol the drink has in it as if you are used to it.

I had a mate from England who was able to do 12 Jack Daniels shots and you could still have a sensible chat with him, then I took him to explore with me the wild east.

Well, he got wasted so intensely I had to carry him, dress him, put him to the bed, make sure he pukes the right direction etc.

He was just not used to the thing.

Same results would happen with me I'm sure.

I don't need much vodka, gin etc... to get stupid, but it would
take about half a liter of whiskey to get even close to that stupid.

I stick to whiskey when I go to a bar.
I get nice and toasty and no problems with anyone.

If I drank vodka or tequilla at the bar I would be "86ed" from every bar I ever went to.
Too bad other people don't realize these things about themselves and keep
drinking shit that don't mix with them. They get kicked out of every bar and
all they need to do is change their drink.

Hey, if you want the whole story of the marketing machine Grey Goose, read this article:

Well worth it to get some inspiration and marketing ideas:thumbsup

Thanks for sharing!

Anyway, I'm getting drunk on that vodka but baddog is trying to blow my high.

yeah, that vodka is better

Hanger One, Chopin, Belvedere, Grey Goose

If Smirnoff is the good stuff, you've lead a sheltered, cheap life.

well said... :upsidedow

So many pretend ballers here dropping names like Grey Goose and Belvedere.

Youre acting like it costs thousands for a bottle... :error

Nope. Just 50% more for the same stuff in the cheaper bottles.

The cheaper stuff consistently out-performs the premium vodkas in taste tests. People are just paying for the baller status.

Nearly OD'd on Vodka in college. Haven't been able to touch a bottle of it since.

Totaly true. Grey Goose finishes last in blind taste test so many times
it's a disgrace.

But if you tell the tasters the price before they taste it then magically
Grey Goose finishes much better. :1orglaugh

"It cost more so it must be good!"

BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

we use it a lot for mixes. never for straight

Grey Goose is tasty and so is Absolut with Citron.. yum

minor alert :helpme

Good vodka should be tasteless.

if the bottle is 1.5 liters and plastic, it wont be good.

Who me?

I wish.
