Diesel. 190 proof. 190! Have you ever taken shots of it? I think that's crazy; people told me that they've been sober and a shot of it made them almost puke.

I'm mixing it with coke and/or cranberry juice and it just prolongs the torture. Almost done, though, I'm on my third glass of coke and diesel. I haven't found any really good chaser for it, but dum-dum pops work fairly well.

So, um, I'm gonna go finish...

Ok I had enough of writing in jetblack all the time so from now on, f**k it!

Anyway *straightens tie* did I er, here someone mention alcohol?



I dont know what you meen by 'proof' but over here in the UK all drinks have an alcohol percentage on the bottle. The strongest I have ever drunk was when I went to Ibiza, I bought a bottle of Absinthe, it was 70% alcohol, thats bloody strong. your average pint of beer is only 5%.

Proof = 2 x percentage

So,

70% = 140 Proof

190 Proof = 95%

Most hard alcohol is around 70-100 proof. So things like vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and so on are usually around 35%-50%. 40 proof is like candy.

That's when you know that your not drinking to be social but drinking to get drunk.
