I like those groceries....except the soda is bad for you and expensive /wasting money. Ditch the soda for water which mixes with whiskey just fine. Also Coors is like making love in a canoe.

Ingredients for Butterbeer Forte

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I work at a grocery store and honestly I didn't even bat an eye, the first thing I thought about was how to bag it.

In case you're wondering if we care about what you're buying the only (non regular) customer that I remember is one Irish guy who would crack jokes about his ex wife on a roadtrip. Don't fully remember but my God he made like 4 zingers in a row and I about cried laughing at like 7:30am

edit: oh and I learned about a new pasta last week, that was cool

Can't even afford to be an alcoholic to forget about your money problems anymore in this economy

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Unironically. Half the appeal of booze has historically been that its cheap.

I kinda wonder how much of the decline of high school/college drinking has to do with sticker shock.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I mean I'm 20, when I have parties with friends (all my age/1-2y younger) we just split the costs. 5€ each max. And we all have a good time (or throw up, because some of my friends aren't very aware of their limits lol)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yep, it's very easy and cheap to produce alcohol, the only reason it's expensive now is due to countries adding high excise taxes and the like to alcoholic drinks

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Margins on alcohol sales are fairly high, especially with high rates of industry consolidation over the last decade.

Retail alone collects a 20-30% vig on well standard hard liquor, for instance. Distributors can add another 40%.

The Gray Goose sticker price of $30 for 750mL includes an excise tax of $2.40 So around 8%, by comparison.

Its so expensive to go out now in any city, have to pregame for anything, not spending 30$ on a shot

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Ewwwww is that sugar free coke?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (13 children)

Looks like cherry coke zero.

Coke zero is the best one until you get alcohol involved, then you're fucking up if you're not using full fat coke

Though if the plan is to mix coke with that honey jack maybe the booze is sweet enough already

Coke zero is divine nectar

It doesn't even work for dissolving rusted pistons or valves!

Coke zero is decent

Diet coke is disgusting

Ditto Pepsi

I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it's in. Really frustrating to taste it in otherwise sugary drinks, like some of the Monster flavors.

For reference, I also think cilantro tastes like soap. No clue if that's an indicator or not.

I think I have a mutation in a taste bud or something, but Sucralose is really a prominent and nasty taste to me in anything it’s in.

The only artificial sweetener I get a nasty aftertaste from is saccharine. But I get a really absurdly foul aftertaste from saccharine, I can't even compare it to anything because it's easily the worst thing I have ever tasted in my life and I can't think of anything even sort of similar. Glad basically nothing uses it any more, but it was more of an issue as a type I diabetic kid decades ago. Sucralose doesn't give me an aftertaste at all though, neither does aspartame or acesulfame potassium.

My preferred sweetener though is stevia (I used to go to the local new age shop and buy just dried stevia leaves for my tea and such during the time it was legal to sell in any amount for any purpose as an herbal supplement so long as you didn't mention it had a flavor which turned it into an unsafe food additive because fuck NutraSweet corp). It took such a ridiculous time to get approved because of NutraSweet, when stevia really should have fallen under GRAS status for the same reason things like tomatoes did - New World plant used in food forever by the natives, but wholly new to Europeans when they came to the Americas.

I think they reformulated Coke Zero and got rid of the sucralose. It uses aspartame and acesulfame potassium.

Step 1: Wear a ski mask
Step 2: Shoplift?
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit?

(Step 3 is getting caught and becoming a prison slave 🙃; So yes "Profit" just not for you)

Dress up as ICE and state that this is material needed to trap Irish thugs living illegally in the US.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

You could also demand to see the kerrygold's papers, and then leave with it.

Look, I enjoy good butter, too, but are you cooking with it? You probably won't notice a difference if you switch to a generic.

I am getting $15 dollar 3.5 grams of weed. You are doing it wrongly. Well weed tax but still.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (11 children)

That Tennessee Honey is one of my favorite whiskey drinks. However due to America being a total shit head, I can no longer buy it as I don't want any of my money going there.

Anybody got an idea of what a good European drink is to replace it with? I drink it straight or when I want something more mellow I mix with fake DrPepper or fake Red Bull.

It's a lot cheaper if you just make your own moonshine instead. Guy on reddit used to post pictures of his 100L water butt bubbling away, cost something stupidly low to fill it considering the volume, like £25 or something like that. Then he distilled it in batches.

The entire setup was comically simple too, like plug and play from parts you can easily buy and ingredients you find in any supermarket.
