I keep seeing people make fun of it online but that sounds like something I’d enjoy. My drink of choice for a few years now has been the depressing combination of whatever carbonated water is available with whatever better-than-rotgut-but-only-just vodka is available.

Rotgut-tier is also fine in a pinch. But the bad stuff here will make you blind.

(I’m also a fan of “give me your sweetest, fruitiest, girliest drink”, which was great fun back in uni when all the dudes around me were ordering bitter beverages they clearly didn’t enjoy. By trying to project masculinity to the girls around us, they were actually betraying an underlying insecurity about it - and by ordering my girly drink I was gently lampshading that idea. Fun times.)

Just to clarify at least original White Claw gets its alcohol from fermented sugar. It’s basically a gluten free clear beer with no hops and fruit flavor added.

High Noon and anything labeled Vodka soda use actual distilled spirit. Those are more expensive and taste better, especially after a few.

It's honestly really refreshing during summer to drink vodka + carbonated water. If it's really hot (or I'm super full of food) I don't want much taste and carbonated water does a good job of hiding away the vodka taste.

It's a common drink in Finland, Koskenkorva vodka and vichy (water)

Found the husband!

And bubbles

Huh, you may be surprised to hear, but I actually LIKE the taste of ethanol in many drinks.

Just drink Painquil! It's acetaminophen, and it's 10% alcohol! The old liver double whammy.

If god didn't want us to drink and drive then why'd he invent those nifty beer can hats?

If they get past a 0.07 with 1 white claw, I envy their lack of tolerance induced financial burdens and I hope they have a great time where nobody gets hurt but I also hope they know their limit and never drink and drive because we all share the road and a drunk driver probably won't end up killing the person who doesn't understand that the left lane is for crime that really ruins the buzz on my drive home.

I had already opedened it, what else was I supposed to do, pour it out?? How wasteful smdh fr

Insane that you're getting downvoted for this. I feel like alcohol abuse is so normalised in a lot of places. This really shouldn't be a controversial comment.

Naw, the industry basically self-regulated itself out of mixing alcohol and caffeine after all the Four Loko incidents. The labeling is just for brand loyalists or something now, idk

They did this in Sweden too. Then people stopped buying energy drinks, because most people self checkout and you had to wait for an employee to come check that you are an adult. And swedes being swedes, they would rather die than go through that.

Now they have a permanent employee checking from afar with a tablet, approving people without any intervention or interruption. I wouldnt be surprised if the energy drink brands partially pay for them.

Energy drinks are pretty bad for you though. Probably should do the same thing in the US.

Honestly caffeine should be age restricted to like 15+. Its a very addictive psychoactive drug.
