[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drunks love their vodka.

My late father who died from alcohol-related dementia and was an alcoholic his entire adult life mixed vodka with orange juice and drank from a huge plastic tumbler all day- this way he tell his doctor, my mother, his adult children and even his neurologist that he “only” had two drinks a day. Yes, this was in his medical records in narrative form.

My dad would often start with red wine, then head out to the liquor store in the early evening to buy a “family size” bottle. Let’s just say his regular purchase was a large bottle of vodka that we’d keep in our house and it might last over a year - used for an occasional mixed drink or maybe if we’re entertaining.

My father was highly functional which was maddening; we were the last family you’d ever think had a stumbling drunk, nasty, abusive drunk father. My dad instead kept getting promoted and ended up being top in his niche field. He was publicly lauded and considered brilliant and innovative.

And another thing; drunks love vodka because supposedly it doesn’t have an odor when mixed in drinks and they *think* it also doesn’t give their breath a “boozy” odor; instead, excessive vodka tends to emanate from your pores as you sweat it out giving the person a distinctive (and gross) fermenting, mildewy smell. Tough to describe but when I smell it on people I assume they’re alcoholics.

Also because vodka is clear and light it is easy to smuggle in a thermos or even a clear water bottle. My dad used to pour it in his coffee, twist the lid on his thermos bottle and could drink all day at the office.[/quote]

Oh I know that day drinking BO smell from college. It’s pretty gross.[/quote]
