God, this drink tastes like piss…

Nothing like that ol’ hackneyed cliche to describe a crap drink. In this case, however, it’s literal. Yup, that’s right, presenting Gilpin Family Whisky - the world’s first whiskey that’s literally made from piss. Sorry, “urine”, to the more refined connoisseurs out there. Seriously. This is probably the most colossally stupid fucking idea we’ve seen yet in the “novelty booze” biz. It makes those 2000% alcohol beers and vodkas infused with barbershop floor sweepings (or whatever this month’s moronic trend is) look like the fucking cure for cancer by comparison.

So what kind of pee pee, you ask? Horse? Monkey? Badger? Don’t be ridiculous, those aren’t even close to the “quality” of bodily fluid required for the production of this gem. It’s HUMAN PISS! But not just any human piss, as if it wasn’t bad enough already, it’s - wait for it - “made from the sugar rich urine of elderly diabetics”. Mmmm, getting thirsty yet? You know what we’re thirsting for? The opportunity to beat the idiots who invented this with a two-by-four.

Who’d ‘a thunk the golden waste water of a thousand old folks’ homes could be so useful? These tools, that’s who! Or, perhaps, comedic geniuses. Because honestly, despite our ire, the whole thing reeks like a construction site outhouse of one giant-ass joke. But it probably just “Depends”. Waa waa waa waaaaaa.

NOTE: Two days ago we were able to link directly to the actual Gilpin Family Whisky website. In that time it has mysteriously disappeared. So yeah, hoax, or site crashed from too many hits, or both?

How Stuff Works - Jack Daniels Whiskey

It’s supposed be informative, but for some reason this puerile little show tends to sap our IQ and put us into a near vegetative state - all drooling and clapping at the shiny machines that spin and whirl and go BING! HA HA! CLAP CLAP!

Except for this segment. Best one they’ve ever done.

UPDATE: Substitute “How It’s Made” for “How Stuff Works” and the above comments might actually make sense. What can I say? It’s Friday and I’m f*cking tired.

Connosr - The Whiskey Social Network

Finally, a social network (or should it be wetwork?) that we can get behind. Connosr is the Whiskey Social Network for the whiskey enthusiast.

As the site says:

“This site is independently owned and aims to provide a social space for whiskey lovers to discuss, rate and review their beloved Malts.”

Sounds good to us!

Here’s a pretty cool little lesson in physics you can demo in your local bar. Tell someone you can transfer the whiskey in one shot glass into one filled with water and vice versa without using a third glass. It takes a bit of practice, but it works. How? Water is denser than hooch, so it sinks and pushes the whiskey up. (it’s also quicker than the 10 mins in the vid if you do it right).

This is usually done as a bet to scam free drinks from onlookers. We don’t recommend or condone that, but your nerdiness might just impress someone enough that they at least pay for the shot you used.
