Have a few of their classic models here. :) |

I suspect the concept of dehydration stems from conflating a headache when you've drunk too much or are dehydrated. The Delicious impurities in the dilute alcohol are more likely culprits than the alcohol itself. --- End quote --- Definitely agree with this. Observations from experimentation with remaining hydrated and pissed at the same time: Bottle of wine -> banging headache. Several beers -> banging headache. Bottle of port -> worst headache I have ever had. Litre of Pepsi Max -> banging headache. Couple of glasses of absinthe -> banging headache. Way too much vodka -> no headache. So the answer is to drink vodka and remain hydrated. To celebrate that discovery I'm going to ignore the findings and crack open another Punk IPA :) --- End quote --- Vodka yes, provided it has been fully distilled. If not there can be a tendency to wake up into twilight or darkness. Never seen the point of paying more than the absolute minimum for (pure) vodka; the whole point is it has no distinguishing taste! Rum is supposed to be particularly bad, but I wouldn't know. Would "white rum" be an attempt to avoid the issue. --- End quote --- And that's why Tito's Handmade Vodka (whatevs, man) is my choice when I need a toddy for my body. I don't like the taste of most forms of alcohol... and Tito's does not color the flavor of anything you mix it with until you start to approach unity gain. Right now my poison of choice is a couple fingers in the bottom of a glass of the local brand of brewed/not-from-concentrate diet iced tea. :-+ mnem *currently approaching unity gain* --- End quote --- After distillation toddy is known as arrack/arak, and that kills/blinds quite a few people annually. |

One of them, from Lebanon is 53% alcohol! It probably still kills people today! |

It is my understanding that a toddy however is another thing altogether. A hot toddy is usually some form of tea, coffee, or cider with additional alcohol, drunk after dinner or before bed to aid sleep, or to take the chill off a cold evening. But it doesn't have to be hot; just that it's something alcoholic you like the taste of. The point in general being that it is some alcoholic concoction you make just for you, like some dishes are "comfort food". I'm certain C will be along to correct this assumption shortly... I am, after all, a wine/whiskey/liqueur heathen. :-// mnem :o |
