Just buy the cheapest vodka they sell at the store. When you're drunk, it all tastes like water anyways. Doesn't matter if it's Belvie or some $10/bottle Royal Gate Vodka.

Costco is actually really good. The Kirkland brand came through quite well on this one

Truth. Kirkland brand Vodka is actually Grey Goose. Aside from Chopin and Belvedere, I've found Roth Vineyards vodka to be pretty decent as well, I think you can get it for around $15 from Trader Joe's.

This is why they usually go for the high end stuff thats has been more heavily filtered and therefore taste even less "alcoholy".

be a man, drink whiskey. Straight or at least on the rocks.

I dunno, I think vodka is like the most purest taste of alcohol, it's not a taste people enjoy. If you think of it like drinking a glass intead of taking a shot. I think vodka taste disgusting. But I do get what you mean how really filtered vodka can be some what tasteless after a few!

By definition, vodka should be flavorless and odorless, yes? So by definition vodka is the drink of people that just want to get drunk but lack the Scottish ********* to handle a good whiskey or a couple of pints of beer.

But if Scottish ********* are out of the question, see if your mom can put some of this in your bottle tomorrow night: http://www.adultchocolatemilk.com/
