A drink some friends and I came up with:
One
fifth of
gin
One fifth of
vodka
Four
liters
tonic water
Four or five
limes
One large container of
lemonade mix
Ice
Mix it all together in a cooler (cut up the limes and squeeze the juice in). This is a great drink, especially for hot weather, because:
- It packs a punch, yet it tastes light and refreshing
- The alcohols used have fewer impurities, so they are less likely to cause a hangover (everyone reacts differently to different alcohols, of course)
- All the tonic water keeps you from dehydrating, also decreasing the hangover
- The limes prevent scurvy
- The quinine in the tonic water prevents muscle cramps and can treat malaria.
The last two
benefits are really just side benefits. It's the whole gets you drunk without causing a hangover thing that we really like about it.
