On vodka,
IMO, vodka is sicknasty unless you get potato vodka...but that's just my Prussian blood talking ;D. My favs are Wodka Wyborowa (can't get it in the US AFAIK), and Monopolowa, which is about $15 for a 750ml bottle. You can drink the stuff straight and its delicious.
Agree on the tequila. Living in the Southwest, I unfortunately get my share. I hate the stuff generally. Only had Patron once and it was alright, but I'd rather stick to a diff liquor.
I've got some 1.5 or so old oatmeal stout I brewed which I will probably taste again in the next day or so. When I first brewed it, it wasn't that good (to me). 8 months later it was pretty tasty, so I'm eager to see what it's like now.
So far I've made (oldest to newest); oatmeal stout 5%, heller bock 7.2%, american wheat 4%, raspberry porter 5 or 6% (can't remember)
I usually chug about half a gallon of water and eat something yeasty or fatty before sleeping during a night of drinking. That combined w/ the blood of Prussian kings running through my veins has resulted in 3 hangover free years. If you really don't want a hangover, get drunk on sake. It's one of, if not the purest alcohol you can buy.
