Title: Best ways to get drunk on the cheap
Post by: noisyturtle on Wed, 11 June 2014, 02:05:59
The game is getting as ripped as possible on less than $10. What's you're go-to ****ty liquor when your wallets thin on a Friday night?

Personally, Steel Reserve is $1.69 round here for a 25oz. 4 or 5 of those will get you where you wanna be. Or if you're feeling fancy, you could go with 3 bottles of Charles Shaw at $2.99 ea. For a bit more you could get 3 Bud Light Straw-ber-rita's or Mang-o-rita's which are pretty tasty for a malt beverage, and also clock in at 8%.

Why even bother asking for help in the first place then if you aren't going to actively try to make the most of what little money you have on real necessities (food not alcohol)... most logical people in your situation don't go spending their money on things they don't need. Yeah, I get that you're in a ****ty situation and it sucks (I've been there), but you're not making things any easier for yourself.

Keystone beer or ****ty vodka was the go-to in the college days. But fastest and smallest amount required is to inject hard liquor straight into your bloodstream.

I go for Sobieski vodka. It's very cheap and is actually still good unlike any other vodka in it's price tier. It's even less than $10 so still enough left over probably to buy 2l apple juice and a lemon if you want something to drink it with instead of straight up.

I'm a growing fan of higher end boxed wines, like Bota Box or Green Box.  They are a tad more than Two-Buck Chuck, but I am not encouraged to drink the whole box at one time like I do when I open a bottle of Charles Shaw.

True. However I consider being frugal as not being able to buy in bulk or larger amounts to get a volume discount.

With a few dollars you can grab a four loko and run with it

searches don't really help..

You just have to go to the liquor store... They ALWAYS have the -rot-gut- vodka that's native to the region...   

It's going to be something like $8-15 for 750ml - 1.5L

These were designed specifically for  Objective Drunk People..  People who KNOW precisely why they drink, and don't waste time / money on Labels to impress their friends.

Buying by the case helps, not initially cheap, the price per/oz is cheaper. It helps in the long run.

I buy a case of red label Smirnoff every 2 months or so for the wife and myself, 10% off by the case, its normally about $100 for six 1.75L bottles. Smirnoff is a good middle grade Vodka that wont make you feel like hell the next day, well for me anyway. Big glass of ice, can seltzer water, and 2-4oz of vodka is a nice daycap.

Buy a bottle of apple juice. Put in a clear container. Leave next to the window (right on full sun) for a few days. Try it.


I am not responsible for anything that could happen to you if you really do it since it's obviously toxic and unsafe. But cheap and probably very efficient, in a wrong way.

This is simply a recipe for food poisoning.

You need yeast and much more than a few days to convert the sugars into alcohol.

Alt-F4 on Windows helps, too. Jimmies remain unrustled.

But to the OP, you really wanna get wasted just to get wasted? I have been drunk a fair number of times but never drink "to get drunk". Why poison yourself like that, you're only gonna have more problems the next day than you had when you started drinking. At least hangovers are easier to deal with when you're younger. When you get older your body REALLY resents what you've done and tells you all about it.

Moderation in all things really goes a long way. Practically anything becomes a poison when consumed in large quantities. Alcohol is a rather interesting substance in that regard, though. It makes you feel alright as it dehydrates your cells and forces your liver and kidneys to go into filtering overdrive. The body is quite adept at dealing with small quantities and a little is actually beneficial, but in larger quantities you are literally poisoning yourself.

I actually find it's quite the opposite. I haven't had a hangover in ages, I think the last time was about 4-5 years ago. I'm 30 now and it takes a boat load to actually get me drunk, and if I'm being honest here, I only drink perhaps once or twice a month, but when I do I go for it. I don't even keep beer in my fridge. I'm really more of a pot guy, and actually am prescribed it for legitimate medical reasons, but that's still about $75 every two weeks which is absolutely out of the question with my current budget. It doesn't matter if I'm up all night in pain and having seizures, without medical coverage there's nothing to be done about it except get drunk enough that my neurons ignore the pain because I can't even get the proper medication on my own. God bless the American medical system!

I have a good friend who just got out of rehab. I think I understand. Medical conditions or not, drinking isn't really the right solution, but I understand wanting to get drunk for the sake of it.

Patience is a virtue, OP ... here's the cheapest way I've heard of: Buy a gallon of applejuice, and find a tablespoon or two of sugar. Preferably also some active yeast. Technically any will do. Add addititves to the juice, and leave uncorked but covered in a closet for a couple weeks -- maybe a month I haven't done this myself.

Enjoy your prison wine. Should be enough there to get you hammered at least once. Will taste like **** but should get you hammered, too.

I never really did get the huge obsession many have with Jagermeister. There are several other brands of Kräuterlikör that are better in my opinion, but I suppose not as readily available in America... though even then I would rather have Unicum or Becherovka.

At the moment I`m being a good boy - but when I`m bad...I`m very bad indeed.

I`ve just drank my special home-brew wine which was lovely so I`m  gonna have to make some wacky creation.

 An old favourite of mine is called "Sicky-Saki" - basically el-cheapo white rice with raisins/sultanas, white  granulated  sugar and lemons to taste.I used  high-strength/champagne/turbo wine yeast and gave it just enough time to basically stop bubbling...a couple of weeks for a five gallon bucket and it wasn`t even remotely clear.

God it cemented me to the couch...stronger than sherry...about 23% by volume!

This weekend I`m gonna do coconut and jaggery wine and also an industrial strength ginger and Seville orange effort that will go with my outside BBQ`s and saxophone/drum/guitar jams in the garden...it will get me away from the `puter so I can get some sun.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaggery

You don`t need a lot of money to do homebrew just a lot of patience and be scrupulously clean and everything will be tickerty-boo.

Best results are after leaving the brew 6 months but can be drunk in 10-14 days at a pinch...with a little bit of clearing/racking somewhere  cold.

I go to this place to learn how to become a worse alcoholic Ha Ha Ha !!!

Nobody suggested distilling your own alcohol?  If you took high school chemistry you know more than enough to do it.  You can make gallons of alcohol for a few bucks. 

Ingredients you will need:  10 pounds of cornmeal, 10 pounds of sugar, and 1/2 ounce of yeast.  5-6 feet of 1/4" copper tubing.   For a still you can drill a 1/4" hole in a metal pressure cooker, then insert the copper tubing, and try to seal it.  Now you just need a big metal pot to cook your mash, and a plastic bucket to collect your sweet nectar.  Also you should rig up something to cool your copper coil.  You can read about this on the internet probably if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Well, it's illegal to make distilled spirits without a license.  I just looked up what it takes to get a license/ permit to produce distilled alcohol from the TTB, and it doesn't look too difficult. http://www.ttb.gov/applications/index.shtml#Manufacturers  However, in typical 'Murican fashion, it's easier to get a license buy and sell assault rifles than to make liquor and get drunk at home.  'Muricans loves their guns.  I thought they liked cheap liquor too, but I guess not as much as killing each other with guns.  Maybe we need a Constitutional Amendment for the right to distill and consume intoxicating liquors.

Obviously this is an old picture. You don't have a job or any money, so how could you buy all that marijuana? Either that, or you took the money from the Spumoni sale, went out and bought a grip, took a picture of the two together, then shipped it out.

Cheapest way is successful theft.

Best way is brew your own.

Let's combine the two principles: steal all necessary components to brew your own!

Now we just have to make this process transpire in a reasonable amount of time, and then refine it so it can be reliably repeated.


Edit:

Actually, the cost of effort to successfully steal homebrew components is probably quite high.

So, it's probably "cheaper" to ask for free donations of all components, but this approach could be prohibitively costly in the time department...

So i suppose it comes down to effort vs time vs risk.

We need to know whether there are time constraints, or a maximum amount of risk that must not be exceeded, before we can sufficiently answer the question.

He is either lying or dead.  That is all I have to say about this.  Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol, which is not at all safe to consume, much less chug.

Mouthwash, although unsafe to chug, is at least "food grade" (so to speak), since it goes in your mouth, so it's less dangerous.  And Everclear is just super concentrated alcohol, so that's just a dude being dumb and showing off.  It's like chugging vodka.  So I'm not impressed, I just think he's dumb.

I agree that the act is dumb, and the person who chooses to perform may have misplaced motivations..

However.. do you deny that you can't look away, when such show exists?

It's like that slightly ugly fat chic @ the club who's taking her cloths off..  you don't reaalllly want to look.. but.. you just can't bring yourself to absolutely about-face leave...
