Scotch in a can = eight shots of 80 proof booze for $5

"It’s the pour that matters, not the vessel"

Distributed by the Florida-based company Scottish Spirits, this canned liquor "boasts an exceptional blend of the finest malt and grain scotch whiskies, is amber in color (and is) rich in honey, vanilla, butterscotch, apples and pears taste with a nice hint of peat and smoke in the background."

Sounds like a mighty fine product. Where were you during the depression?

Quote:

A 160-pound man who decided to drink an entire can in one hour would find himself extremely intoxicated with an approximate .18 to .22 blood alcohol level, enough to cause motor impairment, loss of memory and blackout. :vomitblu:

(On the college campus, though, a night of chugging fun can turn this quality product into :skull: in a can.)


From the NY Daily News

oof ... I have a headache just from looking at that

I came, I saw, I vomited my face off.

If he's never drank before and has the liver of a little girl, maybe.

I think I'll pass on the canned liquor, all the same.

Eight shots? in an hour? blackout? Maybe in an elementary school, yeah.

raises hand. Maybe I'll have memory loss and blackout after puking my guts up.

I'd black out.

Do not want.

80 proof?
Ah, just looked it up. We use ABV standard rather than proof, so it's about usual strength whisky.

I might not feel too hot having 8 shots of whisky in an hour. But that's only 8 units.
I could have that before work and still do a competant job.
(FTR I have never and would never do this in my current job)

Oh hang on, your shot sizes are larger than ours.
Drinking with furriners is fraught with peril.

A shot is an ounce-and-a-fifth isn't it?

I transpose facts sometimes.

Ours are 25ml, yours are 44 (yes, an ounce and a fifth)

Ahe, I was gonna say. With whiskey I could probably manage two or three doubles in an hour. But that's British doubles.

Anyway, that's just wrong. That whole thing is just wrong.

That is some cheap whisky.

I have had 8 shots in an hour. I think it slides right through happy to sleeping where ever I landed. But, it would also depend on how much I have had to eat too. It would have to be pretty tasty booze to get 8 shots in though. I like my liquor neat.

Yeah, I talk big, but, what he said.

!!! Pedantry alert !!!

The Scottish stuff is whisky without an 'e'.

Noted.
