Even cosmonauts need some vodka. Check out how he catches the sphere of liquid right in mid-air. I wonder if Virgin will allow that on their future space flights.
20 Ways To Use Vodka
January 15th, 2008 6:05 AM
Huh, apparently vodka isn’t just useful for drinking. You can do stuff like cure foot odor and clean up vomit stains (apparently, it doesn’t just cause vomit stains!) with it, too. Just check out this crazy list of The Miracles of Vodka at Vodkaphiles.
Vodka Saves Italian’s Life
December 29th, 2007 3:02 PM
Australian doctors at Mackay Base Hospital were treating an Italian man with pharmaceutical-grade alcohol after he ingested ethylene glycol. Unfortunately, they ran out of the medical booze, so they decided to place three shots of vodka per hour in his drip.
The man has made a full recovery.
Taste the Truth

Finally, a corporate blog that doesn’t completely suck: Taste the Truth.com.
Pravda went to different bars unannounced and targeted 25- to 45-year-olds with taste tests. Participants were then given business cards that had phone numbers to comment on the taste. These comments—both good and bad—were then posted on the site along with descriptions from each outing.
So far, it’s been a good time killer, and the sound bites are pretty entertaining. Some of my favorites:
“…And I tasted whatever your liquor was against Grey Goose, and I prefer Grey Goose…”
“Hi, I’m Nikki, and I tasted Riccola against Pravda vodka, and I picked Pravda vodka! Yay! And then [incomprehensible gibberish].”
“Hi, my name is Ralph…I actually chose Level. I thought it was smoother, but I thought Pravda was more flavorful. But I don’t drink vodka for flavor, I drink it for the buzz, so the smoother it goes down, the better.”
“Yo, my name’s Janelle. I dunno. I just took both the, uh, vodkas. I thought they both sucked…”

Do you know whats in your vodka?

This may be old news to some, but with my laziness, this is new to me. The European Parliament concluded last Tuesday that real vodka must be made from potatoes. Vodkas made from other ingredients may still be labeled as vodka, but the ingredients must be clearly stated.
AB Aims To Be King of All

Anheuser-Busch recently filed a trademark application (PDF copy here) for the name Pomacai.
Could they be aiming to take over the vodka industry with pomegranate/acai-infused vodka? Looks like it. With stuff like Nuvo out, I wouldn’t be surprised if it were sparkling, too.
I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.
