It was probably the vodka that snuck up on you :-D

He was mixing it in a way that did not have much vodka. Prob shot of Vodka and rest Kahula. I had like 3 of them.

Kahula is like 30 proof, I think you were just looking to get bombed :)

I like how three shots of vodka is not that much . . . lol. How big were these drinks?

Come on... half the LR drinks their bourbon 3 or 4 fingers at a time.

True. I don't know how most of these lushes survive. I take my bourbon one shot at a time.

Bourbon? Pussies.

I'm generally a beer guy.

Standard low ball glasses. An oz of vodka/drink with Cranberry or 7 up is not a big deal to drink 3 in 3 hrs. I'm not driving either way.

Mix the vodka with liquer and I am hurtin' for certain.

Black Russian"s will do that to you. Usually 2.5 shots of Vodka and 1 shot of Kahlua.
Add a shot of cream or half and half for a White Russian, mmmm goood.

In popular culture
The White Russian is the signature drink of "the Dude", the protagonist of the cult classic The Big Lebowski. In the movie, the Dude refers to it as a "Caucasian." The cocktail's prominence in the film has been connected to a revival in its popularity. Prior to the movie, the cocktail was considered passé and likened to an alcoholic milkshake.[7]

Ah, the dirty bird. That's a staple in my family.

Aren't you in Utah? It's illegal there to have more than one at a time. At least at a bar. Last time I was there, in Sundance for a nephew's wedding, I snuck out (it was dry) and headed to the bar to order a double. They said they couldn't pour a double, but poured both shots, keeping on in the well until I finished the first.

But I agree. If it's good scotch, it's a single neat pour at a time. But if the goal is merely to get alcohol into the system, like at a dry wedding, . . .

Is it? I've never ordered a double here, but I almost always get a shot and a beer. Never had an issue with that. But wouldn't be surprised- convoluted laws. Hate that you can't get beer over 4% on tap here.

Went to a wedding earlier this month. Brought the flask in with me, left the bottle in the car for refills.

Shoot, I do that at weddings that aren't dry.

You can get a beer on tap over 4% if you go to the brewery.

I suspect it's going to change. Didn't some other state (OK?) eliminate the 4% limit this last election? If so, that'll mean fewer breweries will be willing to produce 4% offerings, which will in turn put pressure on states that still have that stupid law on the books.

Utah is definitely changing. More and more non-Mormons, and more and more less "active" Mormons. When I was in college there, it used to be that the grocery stores and other established that happened to be open on Sundays were vacant. Not so anymore.

One of my favorite mixed drinks.

Snifter of Lagavulin (or your favorite scotch). Pour some Kahlua into a separate shot glass (don't worry about how much). Pour the Kahlua down the drain, feed it to the dog, or the wife. Who gives a shit. Drink the Lagavulin.

Reminds me of my favorite martini recipe:

Ice cold gin
vermouth
glass
blue cheese olives or if feeling like a fancy drink onions to make a Gibson

Take the vermouth, show it to the glass then put back on the bar unopened. Fill glass with gin, garnish, drink. Repeat 3x

This

Kahlua is 60 roof, vanilla extract is 70 proof and your vodka is 80 proof. You may have been drunk, but the Kahlua Is not to blame...the sugar in it causing you to drink more...well, that's another story 😉
