Gah! I had a look on the net to find out what that shot of "Bacardi 151" I drank Saturday night was. Turns out the 151 is to denote that it was 151 proof which means that it is essentially 76% pure alcohol. I'm not suprised it got me so drunk so quickly off one shot. It costs almost £70 a bottle - in retrospect, I think that the £4 a shot charge at the pub wasn't so bad now! :) I find it amusing that they recommend using it to mix rather than drinking it straight. At that strength, I'm not suprised!

Pah! You can get medical alcohol for like £1 a liter. Put some ice in it, a little cocktail umbrella.. mm!

Holy Crap! That stuff isn't very expensive over here, and everyone knows what it is because its the strongest alcohol you can usually buy here. I think the stronger stuff is illegal, or at least hard to find.

I hadn't even heard of it prior to Saturday. Apparantly it's rare to find it in a pub over here.
