Or a jolly good Pims Cup to go with a blazing chicken vindaloo.

[TigersEye]

The nerve of some manufacturers, giving you more than they promise!

[Empireoftheatom48]

Having a VT with Smirnoff 100 and Fire Tree Premium Lite Tonic. Oh Mamma!

[Noumenon]

Correction: that’s several jolly good Pims Cups

[RoosterRedux]

Try Gordon's...and Bombay Sapphire is wonderful.

Take time to enjoy the juniper berry flavor.

Drink very slowly...it is intoxicating.

If you are not careful, your appreciation will stumble into a rowdy celebration.

Martinis are best with a fine gin. Hold the vermouth to a dash or less.

[concentric circles]

This is way over the top. What will Canadians use now for mouthwash? And in the winter, September - May, what will they use for windshield de-icer? How will they light campfires? Gasoline is so dangerous and not to be taken internally. And what about Grandmas? What will they use for pickling now? How much can our neighbors take? When will it all end?

“Twice as much alcohol for the same price? Sounds like a pretty good deal. Just put in more tonic.”

I’m thinking this sort of thing doesn’t happen very often.

[DUMBGRUNT]

You still using the gunpowder proof test?

"The province's liquor board recalled Georgian Bay brand vodka in March because several hundred bottles had not been properly diluted."

Diluted..??? They dilute your hooch in Canada..?? That's a bummer Dude....

Tang, BombedToday, Wifebeater. They are all good.

[Figment]

That’s some damned good quality control they have there. It’s a good thing they’re not making auto parts, that would stain you for awhile

"What makes a good gin or vodka?"

I once got completely wasted on vodka.. I was never able to drink it again...

LCBO? Lesbians, Cannibals, Bisexuals, and Otters?

An alkie ‘complaining’ about twice as much booze as advertised is tantamount (and about as likely as)

to

weewillyclinton complaining about his woody lasting 4 hours

Boodles or Seagram’s with Lime. I am ambivalent about Gordon’s or Bombay’s.

I’m lost in the ozone agin’
I’m lost in the ozone agin’
I’m drinkin’ wine
I’m drinkin’ gin
I’m lost in the ozone agin’

[Chode]

Sapphire.

[henkster]

Wow. And I’ve been wasting my money on Beefeaters all these years.

[henkster]

What makes good gin? 2-3 shots of Beefeaters, a slice of lime, some tonic water and ice in a glass in my hand.
