Page Turner Posted December 24, 2019 Share #8 Posted December 24, 2019 ...someone also suggested using it as windshield cleaner fluid a while back. It won't leave drips or streaks, and your calorie consumption stays at zero. Not that I would ever calorie shame anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted December 24, 2019 Share #9 Posted December 24, 2019 I once drank vodka with Hawaiian Punch..............It is a longish story but I was incapacitated the next morning when we went to play golf at the Amphibious Training Center in Little Creek VA. My playing partners left me to sleep it off on a bench and came back to collect me later. Strangely the bench was near if not in this scene from Navy Seals. (see, bicycle related after all.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mixers, etc. Just a bit of vodka and olive juice and the tiniest, faintest hint of vermouth.

When I am in a martini mood I will get cocktail olives stuffed with fun stuff like almonds, or pearl onions, or blue cheese. But regular old olives and olive juice work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted December 24, 2019 Share #27 Posted December 24, 2019 29 minutes ago, Square Wheels said: What, now you think your a chemist of something? Yes. On the other hand, I have various weaknesses in biology. A quick google basically says alcohol acts more like a fat than a carb and is, in any case, empty Calories. There are 7 calories/gram in pure ethanol (drinking alcohol) compared to 4 cal/gram for a carb or protein and 9 for a fat. Still, what changes a hydrocarbon into an alcohol is when -OH replaces an -H bonded to a carbon. Here's one of the structural forms of the sugar glucose (half of every molecule of table sugar or honey and the other half is fructose, basically the same) where 5 -OH's replace an -H attached to a carbon : so there should be some correspondence in how the body utilizes the energy from sugars and alcohols. In any case, I'd rather have my vodka with orange or tomato juice or V8 than neat. And I made cole slaw that will have fermented in the fridge to a creamy delight by tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
