Would grain alcohol and Crystal Light make a good punch?

[JVS]

Or is nutra-sweet a no-no when engaging in "binge drinking"

1. I think grain alcohol is a "no-no," period.

No matter what the hell you mix it with....

2. Try a mix of apple juice and ginger ale instead

You won't even taste the Everclear.

[JVS]

6. What proportions?

[jandrok]

9. You're looking for about a 10:1 ratio ouncewise

...between the alcohol and the other mixers. Remember that Everclear and it's equivalents are almost pure alcohol, and they will get you effed up fast if you're not careful. You want to cut the possibility of getting trashed too fast.

Ahhhh, the joys of bathtub punch.

[JVS]

14. So should I use a 20:1 ratio for the everclear, or 10:1?

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. No.

Plain and simple, no.

[JVS]

4. But it is what I have on hand!

5. Step away from the grain. Get thee to a liquor store for another option.

[JVS]

7. But a 5th of grain is cheaper than a 5th of vodka and stronger too.

besides, I'm po

10. Strength don't matter.

Stay away from the grain.

The only thing it is good for is mosquito bites and setting shit on fire.

It may seem macho to drink it, but really, it just shows that you're a lower class semi-educated shit destined for a life of janitorial services or other lower-class, immigrant-or-mentally-unstable-or-just-plain-lazy employment positions.

Seriously.

you're better off with the cheapest, shittiest vodka you can find than grain alcohol. And you'll still get a shitty, godawful, oh-please-kill-me hangover that you apparently so desire, but a) you will live (more likely), and b) maintain some respectibility if ever in your life you decide that you want to leave the ranks of the lower class trash and enter the world of respectibility.

You're best bet is to scrounge up a few more dollars and invest in a higher quality vodka - it might sound elitist, and that's fine - people can call me that all they want, I don't care, because I'm above that - but the truth is, the better quality the liquor, the less likely of a hangover (unless you binge). Cheap liquors are cheap because they are filled with extra shit. Pricier liquors or pricier because they are more refined, and have most impurities taken out - impurities which help make the hangovers far worse.

believe me and trust me on this.

13. Strength is of the essence when trying to get a house full of people drunk

If that means that everyone feels like they've been kicked in the head repeatedly, so be it.

In fact you have given me an idea. Since grain alcohol is a great way to be sure of a hangover, it is the ideal drink with which to test that product called chaser which claims to prevent hangovers. Now all I need is to get a control group, a test group, and some placebos.

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. No, the chaser is not a hangover stopper

the chaser is to kill the taste of the liquor (grain alcohol, or whisky, or bourbon, etc.) that you've just had.

[JVS]

16. Not a chaser, the Chaser (tm)

17. Ah, those things

Want to help not have a hangover? Take one or two B-complex vitamins and some aspirin, and make sure to keep drinking water all night, and also make sure to eat.

[Scout1071]

11. There is a reason it's cheaper. It's shit.

On edit: I'm not hatin', just lookin' out for you.

If you can tell me what movie that's from, I'll give you a cookie.
