You always see older people on TV drinking straight spirits
Yet no young people tend to do it 
I have a bottle vodka in the fridge, but I daren't try it 
Is it something you grow into? Like pissing for longer?

I always drink my vodka neat. Or with a slice of lemon and fresh ground coffee.

Decent whiskey is best unmixed.

Baileys or Carolans, I always drink loads of that then realise I'm really rather drunk.

Did you try it on with her? Probably about your age 
When its cold its easier to drink, which is why I moved it to the freezer
Your mate toph (sp) is a prime example

I have some full on nasty Russian stuff from a place that is called "Azza bajan" (sounds like that, probably not spelt like that)
It says 80% proof, but 40%

Errrm...
Baileys is a liqeur, not a spirit! And it's only 17%, so it's like water compared to most proper spirits! 
Get a decent strong spirit, and you're looking at 40% up to anything in the region of 80% alcohol (160 proof).
I quite like Stolichnaya, one of the few vodkas I can drink neat these days......currently working my way through a 70cl bottle!

There is this bloke that comes into the pub we go to at lunchtime at work, he must be about 90 years old, he gets a pint of beer and a shot of whiskey, same everyday.
Hes a lovely old man.

i'm the same, can't handle it, can't even drink 20% tackle such as ameretoo straight. Unless its a shot, can dispatch them ok.

Easy mistake to make to mix up a bottle of blue Norweigen Vodka with WKD when already half pissed always check the label kids if it says 45% its deffo not WKD.
