Blind Vodka Tasting: Can you tell the difference?
Using only a huge amount of pre-drink leftovers and a blindfold, we risked our sobriety and gag-reflex to test our alcohol knowledge and see which vodka is most/least likely to induce vomiting.
Despite hating the taste, I consider myself something of a vodka connoisseur, having spent the last 3 years living on an impressively small student budget. So surely that experience has refined my taste buds to know the difference, right?
