1. I depends on what you're doing with it.
If you're sterilizing large counter tops, it would probably work.

4. I find gin disgusting but...
If you feel like it you can drink 10 gallons for what I care!

6. i like the line valerie perrine delivers when she plays w.c. field's...
wife; out front of their house in l.a. after 'an episode', doctor asks her how much w.c. drinks a day,

"5." she answers.
"5 pints?"
"no; 5 fifths"

or something like that, it's been so long since i've seen it

15. Well since litre is volume and cubit is length, no...
But...
2 liter = 0.0083864 hogshead
2 liter = 67.6280451 pony
2 liter = 45.0853634 jigger
2 liter = 541.0243609 dram

12. probably too much.
Edited on Fri Nov-04-05 08:51 PM by SlavesandBulldozers
I almost drank an entire bottle of Bombay Sapphire on the beach one day. If I hadn't been mixing it with Gatorade I'd probably be dead right now, and writing you as a zombie.

Word has it when I stood up I went face down in the sand.

on edit: I don't recommend Gatorade as a mixer for gin, and don't know why I was doing it at the time. That's what happens when you start drinking gin I guess.

16. It would surely kill me, too!
I can do one Martini; generally, I can even handle two.

But three Martinis, even over a long evening, and I am Mr. Headache the next morning.

And if I mixed it with Gatorade, I think I would actually pray for death, if not actively seek it out on my own. Not only from the sickness of the mixture, but also just the pure declasse-ness of it. :-)

Mostly due to the sickness, though.

I mean, I am the guy who used to drink Sloe Gin mixed with Diet Mountain Dew. And not out of desperation (though I discovered it that way), but actually by choice.
