Clinton-McCain Vodka drinking contest???

[Redroach]

RawStory has this as a "developing story". Anyone know anything about this yet?


:wtf:

1. Haven't heard about it...

but if they do it publicly, I would love to challenge both of them.

I can drink vodka. Like an alcohol based life-form from Antares XII.

[Dark]

3. Ewwwww! How can you drink vodka? Jim Beam is so much easier!

[everythingsxen]

6. I can drink that too...

I think I actually prefer Rum though.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of...and all that...

[Dark]

10. The only way I can drink vodka is if you mix raspberry vodka and Red Bull.

It's good, but I don't know why. . .

[everythingsxen]

21. Ever had a Jaeger bomb?

A shot of Jaegermeister dropped into a beer glass that has a can of Red Bull poured inside?

Pretty tasty.

2. I bet neither would dare

to go up against Putin though.

4. Rule number one of drinking:

NEVER try to keep up with a Russian. (I learned this the hard way.)

[Dark]

8. What if you're polish? n/t

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. The average Russian drinks 14 litres of alcohol a year...

the average Pole gets through about 8 or 9 litres...I think I'd put my money on the Russian in a drinking contest.

[Dark]

14. 14 litres? Jeez. . . Even the Irish can't top that. n/t

15. My husband (who emersed himself in Russian culture

when he was in the Army) swears I drink just LIKE a Russian: I'm small, yet I can drink him under the table. Why? I do like the Russians and nosh on small bites of food and drink water in between.

Works for me - I get drunk enough to be arrested several times, but I can still stand up, walk in a straight line, talk without slurring and don't have a hang-over in the morning.

16. Food, water, and B-vitamins are part of my regimen...

if I'm going to engage in serious drinking...and vodka seems less likely than most other liquors to cause a serious hangover, too (I'd guess because the charcoal filtration removes most of the impurities).

[Arkansas Granny]

18. I've never tried B-vitamins, but I agree with you on the food

and water advice. I make sure I eat before I go out, drink ice water between drinks and then go have breakfast after the bar closes. You will feel much better the next day than if you didn't do the food and water regimen. Party on!

[lonestarnot]

19. Oh I'll bet that they can.

[Dr.Phool]

17. Putin's a sissy!

Now, Yeltsin. There's a real pro!!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

20. Isn't Yelstin still alive?

That's got to be one tough mfer.

5. Heading to Raw Story now, but

all I can wonder is, "Bill or Hillary?"

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. LOL

Maybe it's Chelsea?

[FuzzyDicePHL]

11. Bwah!

You thlay me!

[Redroach]

9. Still developing

Here's a link to RS.

It's Hillary and McCain from 2 years ago in Estonia. I hope she made him pay.

:toast:

[Moochy]

13. If they can drink together ...

maybe they can run together? Is this the backstory to this story? or am I reading too much into it?
