Life is full of risks, id take my chances that the half full bottle of vodka hasn't been adulterated and isn't rubbing alcohol. Seems like OP did too

There's a chance you could survive a jump out of a plane at 30,000 feet without a parachute. I hear the trip down is quite scenic. Might be worth the risk.

livedarklions

Mazel tov. I really don't care what either of you do. You posted that there was no risk of it being adulterated which was clearly a dumb assertion.

As I recall, you're a self-identified alcoholic who's said that he's put vodka into his water bottle while he rides. Not to get ad hominem here, but you realize you're an admitted addict bragging about how far you'd go for a fix, right? Kinda think if I were OP, you'd be about the last person I'd want "defending" me.

LarrySellerz

im just saying that he's probably more likely to cut himself on glass trying to grab the vodka that hurt himself from adulterants. You would spit out iso if you put it in your mouth. Not bragging though, you do have a point

smd4

So the fact that some dude may have drunk from the open bottle--and all that entails--isn't disgusting to you?

That bottle of vodka is pretty much useless, unless the dumpster also contained some Vermouth and green olives.

I mean it was already poison when it left the factory

smd4

A man can't really savor his martini without an olive, you know? Otherwise, you see, it just doesn't...quite...make it.

For 5 bucks you can go to Total Wine and get a fifth of vodka. No risk is worth drinking out of a bottle found in a dumpster.

The whole idea is simply disgusting.

Mojo31

But, depending on how and where it was made, it could be a good poison.

LarrySellerz

Its vodka dude... people who drink vodka from a dumpster don't care about backwash; and they shouldn't, bacteria can't live in vodka. Ya OP is degenerate AF for drinking vodka out of a dumpster but whatever more power to him. Being like "the vodka could be contaminated" is completely ignoring the mindset of someone who would drink vodka out of the dumpster in the first place

smd4

So...we should be supportive of alcoholism?

Polaris OBark

Exactly.

That's the irony of this thread. The less Vodka in that bottle, the less likely it is to kill you.

When I was a kid, oral thermometers were dipped in iso to sterilize them between uses, so I have actually tasted iso. I started drinking at a very young age and one of the first things I had was vodka and it basically tasted the same to me. Now admittedly, my palate was not exactly sophisticated, but I'm not sure you'd be able to tell the difference until after you swallowed it. Please don't try the experiment.

I don't know how you calculate probabilities, but that comparison sucks. Besides, I'm pretty sure you are more likely to cut yourself on a bottle you retrieve from a dumpster and haul on your bike than you are if you pick it up in more normal channels, so I don't see what you think you're proving with that comparison. As the pilot said, "yes, I know I'm more likely to get killed driving to and from the airport, but I have to do that too." The comparison is meaningless.

smd4

Wasn't really the bacteria I was concerned with. More like drinking some other dude's spit. But whatever floats your boat...

livedarklions

Are you trying to get OP to pay you to stop posting?

Up to this point, no one else suggested this is an alcoholism issue with him.

LarrySellerz

Not saying he is an alcoholic just that drinking vodka out of the dumpster is pretty degenerate, but whatever we live in a crazy society anyways and at the end of the day drinking dumpster vodka isn't hurting anyone and frankly isn't worse for you than drinking vodka from the corner store or some rich dude drinking 100$ vodka at a party. If anything its better for the environment

smd4

I'd never spend that much money on vodka.

LarrySellerz

Some people do, and society treats them better than OP drinking his dumpster vodka

smd4

Gee, I wonder why?

livedarklions

I'm sure being called a degenerate is soooooo much better than being called an alcoholic.

Objectively, you're more likely to drink poisoned vodka if you get it from the dumpster than if you get it from the store. You're welcome to take that risk, I don't care. Just stop lying about the comparative risk.

And it's eco-friendly? Why are you so desperate to defend this that you'd make up such obvious BS?

livedarklions

Has the OP suggested society is treating him badly? What the hell are you talking about?

LarrySellerz

y'all are trashing him for drinking it! lol. That is society

smd4

Of course we are! 'Cause it's disgusting and gross and kinda stupid. What's the problem?

Reflector Guy

We need to stop pretending Larry and the OP are two different people.
