Posted by Cam, Fri Dec-12-14 12:02 PM
Can someone explain?

12673643, They don't actually like the taste of fine spirits
Posted by John Forte, Fri Dec-12-14 12:03 PM
12673644, I ALWAYS get the worse hang-overs from drinking brown liquor
Posted by vee-lover, Fri Dec-12-14 12:04 PM
12673651, might I ask
Posted by Cam, Fri Dec-12-14 12:05 PM
which variety and brand exactly?
12674087, Bacardi/Cuba Libre/Wild Turkey/Jamaican Rum/JW Blk label

12674109, Wow, this also explain "beer before liquor, never sicker"
Posted by Cocobrotha2, Fri Dec-12-14 03:06 PM
"Additionally, the carbonation in beer actually speeds up the absorption of alcohol. As a result, following beer with liquor gives the body even less time than usual to process the toxins.

"
12673662, I love brown liquors but try to refrain. The worst hangovers.

I hear the same thing from people about tequilla...I love tequilla!
12673751, Prolly 'cause folks tend to spend white liquor money on dark
Posted by PoppaGeorge, Fri Dec-12-14 01:00 PM
you can't be cheap with it. Can't get mad 'cause that $6 fifth of generic Safeway whiskey did you wrong. The only dark liquor I know you can go semi cheap on is brandy. A fifth of Korbel, El Presidente, or E&J VSOP will set you back less than $10 and is pretty good stuff.

12673838, 'off that brown' basically means whiling out to a lot of people
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri Dec-12-14 01:30 PM
12674036, "off that gin" also means the same.

Posted by RaphaelSoulLee, Fri Dec-12-14 01:55 PM
...but there are a myriad of reasons my homies stopped. Most say the sugar in it.
12673924, Usually it's sense memory from a really bad experience
Posted by Marauder21, Fri Dec-12-14 02:01 PM
They got way too drunk off _______ one time and years later, just the sight of a bottle of that or the smell makes them nauseous.

Not sure why you'd need to apply it to everything that's the same color, but people are weird.
12673940, The misconception that clear liquor is somehow purer
Posted by bigkarma, Fri Dec-12-14 02:08 PM
I used to think that if the alcohol was purer, that I would have less of a hangover...which is kinda true, however clear alcohol is no purer.

Maybe high end vodka is a cleaner purer drink, but everything else...
12674068, also ppl think brown liquor consumption leads to bad behavior.
Posted by SoWhat, Fri Dec-12-14 02:50 PM
or that it's more likely to cause bad behavior than other types of liquor.
12674072, I don't care what no one says. Jack Daniels makes me mean.

12674081, gin does that to me.
Posted by SoWhat, Fri Dec-12-14 02:53 PM
it's not brown liquor.

brown liquor also doesn't create especially bad hangovers for me.
12675716, that's probably bc gin is disgusting though
Posted by MiracleRic, Mon Dec-15-14 11:55 AM
it tastes like tree skeet

it's the brown of the whites

kinda how like tuna is the chicken of the sea
12673978, no matter how little i have the next day is always a "off"
Posted by double negative, Fri Dec-12-14 02:24 PM
at least directly

having an old fashioned or several is fine

having just A SINGLE SHOT

and the next day I'm instantly stupid
12674054, Its not good for you
Posted by ShinobiShaw, Fri Dec-12-14 02:46 PM
I like to drink but that shit is not good for you. Makes you feel good for a span of 2-3 hours and sometimes that is all you need but the next day not good.

If someone refuses to drink anything let them be.
12674063, my mother was surprised to learn i drink brown liquor.
Posted by SoWhat, Fri Dec-12-14 02:48 PM
i was like why? i AM almost 40 yrs old. and i'm a man. and i'm a lawyer. LOL

12674183, "I don't drink brown liquor!" I HANDLE THAT SHYT!
Posted by ThaAnthology, Fri Dec-12-14 03:46 PM
All I drink. Henny, Courvos, Jamesons, Black Label, Red Label, VSOP, Christian Bros, Paul Masson ... Myers Rum (bloodclot!)

I don't mess w/ brown rum tho- effing nasty.
12674341, oh, you like brandy???
Posted by PoppaGeorge, Fri Dec-12-14 05:05 PM
hit up your nearest "good" liquor stoe or (of all places) Walmart and cop you a bottle of Korbel brandy.

You'll never look at Paul Masson or Christian Brothers again.

12674237, brown liquor smells coming out of your pores the next day
Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Dec-12-14 04:29 PM
And no amount of ahowering can stop it

After graduating GT my roommate and i both worked at Buckhead Dicks Sporting Goods for a few months in the summer

After one particularly long night we were asked by the manager to not drink dark liquor the night before we opened the store because we smelled "like a distillery"
12674388, pussies.

12674414, I'm liquor racist that's why.
Posted by Kira, Fri Dec-12-14 05:34 PM
12675151, Sugar content tends to be higher on darker colored liquors.
Posted by jswerve386, Sun Dec-14-14 01:22 PM
thats the only real reason anyone should say this shit.
12675316, this actually isn't true at all
Posted by JayEmm, Sun Dec-14-14 11:04 PM
unless you're speaking about liqueurs

whiskey, rum, etc don't have any sugar in them
