Trust me, NO FUN

No fun when you spray yourself in the eyes with it, either.

It'll have to wait behind the Sapporo and the Tsing Tao to get a crack at my organs

I'm fine. Just enough to get on the tip of my tongue. And yeah, had to waste some beer instead of chug it.

I'd still like to know what idiot said that chit tasted sweet. The gasoline tasted better

w00t! According to Wikipedia

Quote:

Ethanol acts by competing with ethylene glycol for alcohol dehydrogenase. Pharmaceutical grade ethanol is usually given intravenously as a 5 or 10% solution in 5% dextrose, but it is also sometimes given orally in the form of a strong spirit such as whisky, vodka, or gin.

Guess I'd better take some preventative precautions... Where's that bottle of Crown Royal?

That's one hell of an anti freeze hang over cure you've found there Kuro. Glad you didn't have to go the intravenous route though.
Who did say it tastes sweet? Are you sure you didn't dream that?

I'm pretty sure it also says so in the manual... I'm also pretty sure I've seen ants walking around my bottle outside.

It has a slightly sweet smell to it when it burns, but I don't know what it tastes like.
