[LJ2ME] RU21

[deathboy]

This evening, despite all probability, I am saying to hell with work and engaging in a field test of the supposed "anti-hangover" pill amusingly entitled RU21.

The sales blurb claims it was developed in Russia to allow spy types to operate more efficiently during and after heavy drinking. It's now marketed by the yanks to impressionable fools like me.

Still, their vodka's good enough for me, and after all, I'm doing this for science.

Happens to coincide nicely with the wonderful Astrid being in town, too. Odd, that. Anyone would think I was just out to get pissed.

i'm on the train now, and oh! There's a bottle of vodka in my pocket. How very convenient.

Oh well, 'be rude not to.

FOR SCIENCE!

personally i've always been partial to Russian Prince,
however Banff, Absolute, and Finlandia are close seconds.

Usually, I'm a Smirnoff drinker, which gets me laughed at for some reason, but trust me, I've tried everything I can get my hands on and it gives me the least hangover.

Last night, however, I was on some kind of "Brewed by Local Killer Bees" generic filth.

urgh.

Smirnoff's not bad. it's pretty much the bland bread and butter brand of vodkas.
"brewed by local killer bees?", eh?
heh. sounds brutal.
Ever try Blavod? "Black Vodka". actually, it's regular freaking vodka with black food coloring. tried mixing a paralyzer with it and it turned a sickly mouldy green color, and had an aftertaste not too far off from even that.

poor you. I don't really get hangovers...
*evil grin*

usually I'm more of a sucker for ales and what not. the WORST novelty i've ever ran accross I bought out of the fact it was exactly that.
"Monty Python's Holy Grail, brewed by the black sheep brewing company". ugh. horrid crap.
but the bottle made for nice decor.

well my old man swears on milk thistle tablets, they are (i believe) sorta herbal anti hang-over tablets, my old man road tested them on his 50th birfdy by sitting up till gone four o' clock drinking with his older brother, i left them to it by that time and he felt better then he should have in the morning he looked quite well and although wasn't a hundred percent he was in good running order with reserve power nicely humming along at about 75% and soon he had powered up and was ready to be a normal human being, so although hungover t was slight and not nasty it also allowed him to get merry the following nite which was new years eve, basically he swears by them so the name is MILK THISTLE

Boris and Natasha get pissed

Here's my question: the Russians create an "anti-hangover" pill to keep super-spy types from effects the morning after, but nothing to keep them from getting drunk while they're actually drinking?

What's the idea here - that they'll remember clearly fucking up the black op the night before and going on a bender but won't have to contend with the crushing shame of ceding victory to the decadent West AND a splitting headache?

as a matter of fact, it's meant to regulate the way you metabolise booze which, *supposedly* means you get drunk a little slower and a little less so at the time, too which I did seem to feel last night as I drank a tonne and was far from steamed.

which is a bit shite - I WANT to be drunk, just not have the hangover...

[flavius-m.livejournal.com]

Indeed

well, you weren't falling about and you were making quite a lot of sense.... anyway, was very good to see you, it's a rare pleasure these days!

[flavius-m.livejournal.com]

Aah, the bottle was still there!

For what it's worth, I took a night of getting very drunk with the RU21 things, and a night without, compared the two, and noticed no discernable difference. Still, it was worth a try...
