Vodka avoids the sugars and congeners for sure. What is a filtered vodka though?As far as what kind of men drink it...I guess "pretentious faggot" covers it? I'm not even saying that to insult Gunt, even if it clearly applies. I can't waste words on the kind of man that purchases and drinks Makers. It's sickly sweetness means it's popular with the sloppier bar-hopper girls.
What I will waste words on is a weird quirk of the booze industry.
If you know an experienced bartender and pick their brain, they'll tell you of least one lower-priced bourbon out there that's better, and not as sickly-sweet. An old bar coworker explained that X brand of cheap whiskey (the stuff the bars put in the "speed rack" that's referred to as "well whiskey" and is what you get if you order a base-price mixed drink and don't specify a preferred brand of booze in it) is actually out of the same barrels as higher priced Y whiskey, in many instances.
I remember Beam 8 Star being one such, speaking of bourbons, if you're into that shit. It's actually from the same barrels as some other more expensive and heavily marketed bourbon (that ISN'T Jim Beam, oddly enough) whose name I can't recall. They just put 8 Star in a bottle/label that screams of soup kitchens and Greyhound stations, and sell it in mass quantities to bars and the ghetto corner liquor stores. Due to it not being marketed, Jim Beam (or whatever conglomerate that owns them) makes the same amount of money on it. It's actually a pretty canny revenue diversification type thing, where they'll make more on either end, depending on market demand.
Also, suck my dick, Gunt, we know you are drinking cheaper shit anyway, whether you show the bottle on air or not. You broke, broken, gunted liquorfag.
Basically, what you're paying for when you pay for Makers is a rubbery red glop of fuck ostentatiously dribbled over the lid. It's a cool Christmas or birthday gift because it looks nice and drinks okay. Just okay. It's hype.
If a bottle is purchased for you, accept it graciously and with gratitude. They tried.
If you're a woman at a bar and it's purchased for you without you asking for it, get that rape whistle shined up and ready to go, and do not leave your drink unattended.
I envision a Carlos Castenada-esque, eating peyote with the natives kind of Gunt Spirit Quest if I were to drink a bottle of Makers...entering Gunt World. Visiting the Gunt Dimension.
...and no one wants that, which means I'll stick to filtered vodka should I tumble off the wagon and join you in drunkenness that night.
