As the declared Goddess of the booze, I declare that Ravy wins this round. First off, Absinthe has taste. In contrast, Wild Irish, or Rosie as it is colloquially known, is two parts grape kool-aid, one part turpentine. Cost wise, Absinthe is quite expensive, while Rosie goes for $4-5. Consumption wise, a bottle of Rosie is enough to get any person drunk, a second nickname it carries is "black-out in a bottle" (not that a bottle of Absinthe won't get one wasted, but Rosie is far from weak). Finally, Absinthe is knocked down a peg. The whole hallucination jazz that surrounds it makes it sound worse than it really is. Everything I just told you about Rosie is true, and you better believe it.

Absinthe is just aniseed balls dissolved in nail polish remover.

Unless you get the foreign stuff with wormwood in and even then it's better to just extract the thujone and smoke that.

[ironbite]

You all are of course wrong.  The best booze in the universe happens to be green.

Ironbite-pure green.

Who cares if its "low quality" if its good?  Honestly, most of the expensive wine I've had is borderline undrinkable because of how absolutely foul it tastes.  Seriously, its like someone pickled skunk dick, mixed in some shitty black jelly beans, tossed in some rubbing alcohol and gave that shit a firm few shakes.  There are some classier wines out there that are fairly good, like Post Familie, as they make a mean muscadine (wild grape) wine, but if you want something potable and cheap that will still get you blasted, then you're better off with something like Rosie.

[Not taking offense to anything ya said, Queen, just saying that "quality" wine is like beauty, its entirely up to one's own personal tastes.]

you want bad wine? i'll give you bad wine. 2,39€ at a major french retailer today. it will get you blind drunk, especially as in the big cities they hand it out freely and in quantity. seriously. you don't want to go to student hangouts in the cities when the beaujolais comes around. it smells like puke, vinegar, and bad decisions. two things though. you're either desperate to get drunk, or you have no taste in wine whatsoever. for the very reasonable price of 3€, i can grab you some quality bourgogne, gaillac, or non-prestige vinyard bordeau. of course, prestige wines start appearing at around 8€, and my brother in law bought a bottle for 23€ today, to enjoy with my sister some duck filet in wild mushroom sauce.

call me old-fashioned or boorish, but i drink for taste. i'll gladly spend a few coins more to get something palatable. i've grown out of the "get drunk no matter if i'm drinking gasoline with turpentine chasers" phase.

I suppose I'll never understand drinking for taste, because regardless of price, any wine I've ever had was like a torture chamber in my mouth. So spending $4-5 on our Rosie starts to seem a whole lot more appealing.

Does she claim that (western) people don't make generalizations about (white) men in ways that result in real life consequences and do when it comes to minorities? Outrageous!

Also, and more to the point, rape culture can be accurately said to be mostly a result of men's attitudes towards women's sexuality. Islamic terrorism and specially property crime among blacks poor people have more complicated causalities behind them.

A yummy and cheap variety available in any grocery store is Prosecco. It's a sweetish/tartish, very lightly sparkling white wine originally from Italy. It's the new, popular choice for people who aren't into wine at all.

Guizonde: I'm not sure if that was the bottle I saw at work but there was an empty Absinthe bottle with the same alcohol % and my coworker and I talked about how at that point it's just pure alcohol with a pinch of wormwood and a few other herbs added into it...

While we're on the topic of high-proof liquor, may I just add some Italian examples?

Limoncello

Centerba Toro Forte  This stuff is from the town my grandfather grew up in.  It's not well-known or easy to get outside of Italy, but DAMN does it pack a wallop.  70% alcohol.  My dad's family usually just puts a spoonful into their espresso to add a little "kick."  Do not--DO NOT--drink a whole fucking glass.

Yeah, there are no consequences for generalizing men as potential rapists.  You know, except for paranoia, witch-hunts, and justifications for demonizing male sexuality.

Also, and more to the point, rape culture can be accurately said to be mostly a result of men's attitudes towards women's sexuality. Islamic terrorism and specially property crime among blacks poor people have more complicated causalities behind them.

The problem comes from taking it for granted that rape culture even exists in the West.  Statistics don't back up the claim.  The infamous "one in five" statistic comes from a deeply flawed study that defined forced kissing and even attempted forced kissing as outright sexual assault.  Moreover, DoJ statistics show that between 2005 and 2010, only 1.8% of women suffered sexual violence.  Of course, there are unreported cases to consider, but according to RAINN, 68% of rapes go unreported.  That's a large proportion, but it still means that only 3% of American women were raped during that timespan.

Furthermore, the poster all but stated that every single man is a rapist.

[Even Then]

TTrying to kiss someone by force... is sexual assault...

And "demonizing male sexuality" how?

[Ultimate Paragon]

TTrying to kiss someone by force... is sexual assault...

True, but there are degrees.  Forced kissing is bad, to be sure, but it shouldn't be equated with outright rape.

And "demonizing male sexuality" how?

How about the idea that men have to be taught not to rape?  Or how about this bullshit?

This would be ridiculously offensive if it were applied to just about any other group.
