Re: Vodka
Vodka martini? What a waste of perfectly good vermouth and olives.

Sorry but can't stomach gin after almost ODing on it in college. [/ QUOTE ] Wasn't that like 40 years ago though? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Also I'm wondering, is vodka the only hard alcohol that you shouldn't be able to taste the differences when drinking straight? Or taste the difference in mixed drinks? Or are they all too different in flavor?

Re: Vodka
Felicia and El D, big thumbs up here.
Most people can't taste the differences between cheap and expensive vodkas. At all. However, you can definitely tell the difference the next day -- you will have a much worse hangover drinking Fleischman's than you will Grey Goose or whatever, assuming you drank a fair amount of it. There's also the infamous Brita filtering process, which I hear makes this moot. Buy a Brita, filter Fleischman's (or other cheap no-name) through 3-4 times, and it'll remove a fair amount of the impurities that cause the hangover. Supposedly. I've never tried it myself. That's why Skyy/Stoli/whatever mid-range vodka is a good route to go. Never experienced hangover with them, you won't be able to taste the difference, and most people won't bitch about drinking it.
