Sobieski vodka is a pretty good cheap polish vodka. You can probably get a fifth for $15 or less depending on where you live and since it’s polish vodka I’m pretty sure they don’t support the gays like I see a lot of big name vodka brands doing nowadays.

Vodka is basically supposed to be pure filtered ethanol,
with as few impurities as possible,
So you can drink a shitload of it straight,
And not get a hangover.
Since ethanol is good for you,
And can help you function in freezing weather,
The Russians and other Nordics went with it.
Alcohol that has been infused, sweetened, or left to age in wood barrels,
Is much more likely to make you not think straight,
Or give you a hangover.

That's a factor, but if that where the the whole truth you could avoid hangovers all together by just staying hydrated - which isn't the case. Everything else he said is pretty retarded, as is his way of typing, but it's true that vodka is the best for avoiding hangovers, as it's usually all the other garbage and impurities in alcohol that give you a hangover. That said, if you can get a handle for $12 that doesn't give you a hangover you're lucky. I can get a handle for $8, but the cheapest one clean enough to keep me functional is $13 when it's on sale.
