Is smirnoff, seagrams 7, svedka, EJ, Bacardi white/gold, very old barton and this price liquor ok to bring to bring to a middle class event?

Grew up poor drinking plastic bottles of whatever the local Vodkas were, Think a couple dollars or so cheaper than the bottle shelf national brands like popov. Now I am a blue collar guy and drink all the liquors I listed in the title. To me they feel boosie and high class since this is what we always thought of as bottles you would buy for special events like birthdays.

Fastforward to today and I have a halloween party with some of my wifes co-workers. She also is blue collar nurse. So its going to be a bunch of nurses and other people in that tax bracket. Would it be appropriate to bring bacardi Limon, Smirnoff, or any of the other above bottles to a party like this? Or is this too bottom shelf for something like this? There won't be doctors or anyone like that at these events its going to be a lot of nurses, CNAs, cleaning staff, etc. maybe some administrators or LPNs.

Or should I go another shelf up and get some captain morgan or evan williams?

I've been on a binge for the past 2 months

let me start this off by saying I have been drinking on and off for about 4 years, most of the time two or three days out the week not a fuck ton but a good bit. Had the couple month break here and there but it was mostly beer. Had the week or two hinges here and there aswell, but here lately I've been drinking liquor every day for the past 2 months about a pint everyday. I was wondering if I would have any withdrawals, and what would help with the urges to drink.

Need a suggestion

My buddy and I bought a bottle of orange cream Smirnoff for an outing but I haven’t a clue what to buy for mix, I thought orange juice but it may mess with the cream flavour… Any suggestions?

Drunk boyfriend

Long story short I was on the phone with my boyfriend and he got really drunk with his family but yk after a few too many he absolutely lost his shit. It was terrifying listening to him cry and puke his guts out cause I couldn't do anything but eventually he passed out. Well his family came in to help him and all that and a couple hours later he settled down again. The call just hung up spontaneously which makes me nervous as I don't really know when he'll wake up so if anyone has any advice im all ears!

Drinking after taking Tylenol

So I took a Tylenol around 730 pm cuz I’ve been getting over an illness and had no advil. It was a 500 mg tablet and I was planning on drinking tonight. I did some research and it looks like it’s not safe to drink more than 2-3 standard drinks max. Is this true? I drink probably once or twice a week and haven’t drank heavily in some time. Will I do damage to myself if I drink or should I stick to smoking?

Werthers Bourbon

About 2 weeks ago, I decided to go the DokaRyan route and infused Werthers Originals in Evan Williams black label Bourbon for at least a week. I made it for my dad since I don't much care for whiskey, he said it was good and rather sweet.

Recommendations please

Hello I'm very new to alcohol as I've only turned 18 in September. I've tried 0.5% cider and white wine. The cider I tried was fizzy and because of the fizz I couldn't taste the alcohol but because I don't like fizz I waited for it to become flat and I didn't like the taste flat.

I'm not quite sure what I like but perhaps fruity and doesn't taste very much like alcohol at all. Also definitely not fizzy because it feels pointy.

Please could someone recommend me what I should try. I would like to get at least a little tipsy from it if not drunk. I want to try being drunk just once but I haven't found any alcohol I like because I don't like the taste of it. Thank you :)

pink whitney is all i can handle

It’s immature. I KNOW! Put me onto something good, something more adult.

I drank a LOT of pink whitney in high school. I’m now a junior in college and i keep resorting back to her. I get drunk i’d say once a month or twice a month. I absolutely HATE the taste of alcohol so i don’t do well with seltzers. i like beer but not when im trying to get drunk. like i’ll have a good tasting beer to sip on for a chill night but when i want to get drunk, i have to take shots to get it over with.

for some time i did some green apple vodka with a chaser but nothing beats pink whitney and OJ. It doesn’t taste good but it’s definitely manageable and barely makes me scrunch my nose. I do like to “feel drunk” but i hateeeee drinking.

Smirnoff Lime Vodka in UK.

Hi everyone, looking to see if I can get some advice. Trying to get Lime Smirnoff Vodka in the UK as a christmas present, but it has since been discontinued here. Is there any advice anyone has for trying to get it? Any obscure shops of place with old stock? Multiple websites say they have it but will not let you place an order at the final page. Any shops to reccomend? (Based in Scotland but would travel for it) Thanks!

Usually rlly high tolerance but…

I usually can do 8-10 shots of 45% before starting to feel like shit, and then I have to force myself to throw up (I won’t throw up naturally) and usually when I think I don’t tend to eat (bad habit)… but last night I didn’t wanna get too fucked up so I ate a whole meal and only downed a bottle of soju and two shots of 35% vodka … I felt like shit instantly and threw up almost everything I’d eaten that day 😭😭 ughhh idk what happened, I even ate a whole meal :,) is there any explanation for this or is god just testing me

whats „wrong” with me

21F and never hangover. Didn’t go to that many parties as a teenager, but very social now in my 20s. When i go out i drink a LOT (personal record is almost 0.3 BAC), it doesn’t hit me fast, I can mix liquors. I do feel drunk in the moment, but when i wake up in the morning it’s like nothing happened. I have never had even a tiny hangover, never vomitted after drinking, never blacked out or nothing serious happened to me ever. Never even fell asleep from being drunk. As i get older it gets weirder and more dangerous because it makes me drink more, since there are no boundaries for my body. Could this be some sort of an underlying issue? How does it work biologically, maybe it’s something about metabolism? Or am I just this lucky as a human being hahah

Fall alseep while drunk

Sometimes when I’m drunk and I sit down somewhere I’ll end up falling asleep for like 20-30 minutes, and then I’ll wake up somewhat discombobulated, but then after that I’m fine and keep my night going. Is this normal?

Also note I think this usually happens if I drink a good amount in a shorter period of time than normal.

accused of smelling like alcohol in work. huh?

so last night i was out for halloween but only had 3 drinks. (two guinness and one fireball and ginger beer if that makes a difference) i would only really drink socially once every three weeks or so and never more than 2 or 3 drinks. so this is why i’m so confused that after my shift today one of the girls in my office pulled me aside and told me really brutally that i need to “get my shit together” and that apparently she could smell the alcohol off me. i have never smelt this off anyone so idk what it smells of to even confirm if this is true but i find it really hard to believe that she’s telling the truth. she had told me off the day before for telling another coworker that i was going out that night, so idk if she’s just placebo affecting herself or what’s going on. i suppose my question is, what does alcohol smell like on people, why have i never smelt it and could i possibly have “reeked” when i had showered and all that stuff as well as not having actually been drunk? help im very upset n confused lol

Five days sober :(

It's difficult and I like alcohol. But I'm only 19yo and I suffer from depression. So one day I couldn't control myself. Since this day I can't remember anything when I was drinking. My friend said me I was fainting or crying. I had to stop it but I don't know for how long I will hold my self..

What's the best alcohol to drink before going clubbing?

So Im going clubbing with a few friends. We usually meet up a few hours beforehand to get a little drunk.

I always buy the same drink and it gets pretty boring so I'm asking Reddit.

I forgot the name but I usually buy something that tastes similar to FICKEN. It tastes a bit sweet, the taste of alcohol isn't too strong either so it's something I can drink (somewhat) easily.

I only drink when I'm out with friends or work buddies so I don't drink often but I'd still like to know what others suggest. :)

How long does grog keep ?

I made warm grog on the 12th and kept it in a water cooler. I figured that all the citrus juice would help the concoction keep well, but it seems to have changed color a bit. I also left the mint leaves in, so that might have affected it.

Is it still okay to drink?

Scared of mini withdrawal

So I did something very stupid. I went on an 8 day vacation with friends and we went crazy. I probably pounded about 8-10 beers a day every single day. I actually felt completely fine until the final day which was yesterday I had a feeling I should stop while im ahead. Fast forward I drank again. I woke up today and feel like shit.

Now that the vacation is over I do not want to drink anymore for a while , I realized I went to far. Am i gonna get withdrawals, is it dangerous to stop cold turkey from just this short but ridiculous binge?
