Sorry for orientation. Everything is tilted 90 degrees in this hemisphere. Not a lot of people know this

    The cheapest wine (not in a bag) is stuff called Bowler's Run. $3. Highly unrecommended. I'd prefer not to get drunk if I can only afford that

          I find that the tomato juice and tobasco sauce cover up the goon taste pretty well. Recent discovery (approx 1/2 goon 1/2 tomato juice, dash of tobasco, dash of lemon juice, crack of pepper and salted rim).

            Oh I understand now. Hm... not that desperate. Wine hangovers are the worst. I'm a believer in methanol theory of hangovers, so makes sense that beer/wine ones are worse than vodka/gin. The cheapest thing would be to have an academic licence to buy ethanol

              Just drink two tall glasses of water before bed. Hangovers are mostly dehydration.

              Substitute two bottles of sugarfree Gatorade for electrolytes.

                I do that but there's more to it than dehydration. Sort of only matters if you're drinking 10 pints or something though which I tend to avoid nowadays. Methanol and congeners are part of it. Vodka, if 3x distilled, should just be ethanol and water

                I know it sucks. I hate Australia so much

                Read "Quadrant" if you ever forget how much Liberals suck. Can't say what should happen to the people who write that filth

                Not to be confused with the Quarterly Essay, which is fine usually

      Passion pop used to be $3.50 :cowboy-cri:

      bottle of penfolds for <$20 is solid.

      Also, redistilling cheap shit can be fun if tiresome

        So for about $100 I could get a penfolds five?

        Yeah I don't think distilling is worth the time. Seen it done but I don't have the equipment. Big Clive on YouTube does it I think

          It's very diy friendly, but quickly becomes a numbers game/time sink to see appreciable/replicable/sustainable results.

          I do like Clive. Came for the teardowns, stated for the carbonation
