Vodka Addiction

Yesterday was a slam dunk, sardines pack night, Alcohol was flowing people keep flowing in and music keep on pumping.... It was a Tuesday night normally we don't get that kind of crowd but yesterday was no diff from our weekends, In Singapore people usually party on days that are closer to the weekends, so yesterday crowd got us unguarded and we were overpowered by 5:billions maybe ahaha not sure but it sure does feels like i have serve more than enough drinks to have my fingers numb... 5 bartenders 2 bars i think we did well for that night. But on this particular night what was really weird is our vodka is selling like water compared to the rest of our spirits.. Maybe its one of the most easiest to remember drink or the most popular among the bunch or is it cause it tasteless and it goes with any mixers that we add it with..?? well i did some research on "Vodka" and i got a pretty decent explanation with people are so hook on drinking vodkas....



True facts of Vodka.. (This are pretty basics but for those who do not know)

• It was believe that Vodka was from a word in Russian (Voda) means "water" but its not proven that it is somehow related to it)
  


• As we all know all Vodka's are colourless, this is due to Pure alcohol (ethanol) is odourless, colourless, and most notably tasteless. Due to the high degree of distillation, the congeners (the elements that provide the taste) are stripped away, and this renders the liquid characterless. Most vodka is distilled to between 80% and 90% abv (multiply by 2 for the proof rating), and therefore retains some of the flavours from the initial ingredients used to produce the alcohol. This is the principle behind vodka, alcohol balanced with flavour, not just pure alcohol.
  
  


• Vodka can be made from anything that contains starch, such as sugar beet, molasses, rye, wheat, potatoes, millet, whey and maize. Most of the general commercial vodkas seen today are primarily made from molasses, although the finer more expensive premium vodkas are made from grain or potato.
  


• Vodka has low freezing point of -40.43C (cause of high alcohol temperature) which means you can freeze distillation it to get increase the alcohol percentage.
  


• Vodkas may be classified into two main groups: clear vodkas and flavoured vodkas
  

Reasons why people are addicted to Vodka's

• One reasons why its so addictive maybe cause of its name "Vodka" its popularity, the trend setters and its followers, People drink stuff cause sometimes they wanna drink what celebrities are drinking or what their buddies are drinking, and not drinking what the crowd is drinking makes them a "LOSER"..(Don't be surprise there are people like that) That's one reasons cause of the popularity of the drink
  


• Two, the word comes from Russia which means water, its possible that Russian like's vodka,(which is true cause most Russian that step into my bar drink vodka) i meant everyone knows Russia vodkas are high in alcohol level and will still get you high the next following day too. But i didn't have no Russian peeps at my bar yesterday that still does not explain the disappearance of my vodka bottles.
  

• Three, Cocktails! Vodka itself is tasteless and it taste good with any mixer which means people like vodka cause it's tasteless and the fact that most of the cocktail that is made using vodka as their base adds up not tasting the vodka itself... and besides many have said if you want to go for a light drink without anyone know you drank, mix it with a vodka...it leaves no trace of evidence for the victim at home..

Well I close this entry with this, there could be 101 reasons why vodka is an addiction but i seriously think that people drink it out of popularity and most of all taste, cause no spirits comes close to drinking plain water than vodka... and now with the range of vodka we have in the world we are indeed spoilt for choices. As for my my number one choice is the Grey Goose, Diva comes second and third is the Smirnoff vodka infused in green apple all time favourite...!

Comments and debate is always welcome...=D
