Stop being negative. If I've ever learned anything from TV it's that you just gotta let a taxi driver steal your kidney and you'll get a new liver

Shame? What's that?

u/DemonicCatapult Dec 06 '16

no shame equals shameless. u/codeklutch's post was the plot to one of the episodes of the tv show "Shameless".

Hey I just saw this episode. It takes a little more than some measly liver failure to stop a Gallagher.

Same here. Thank God for that show because this is my highest up voted comment

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '16

The show is still good man. Few shows can remain interesting and fun to watch 7 seasons in.

u/DickMcLongCock Dec 06 '16

I stopped watching it cause they focus too much on sex, it's just unnecessary. I've watched Porno's with fewer sex scenes.

u/moparornocar Dec 06 '16

that would be deadly. long islands are too good, end up drinking 5 or 6 then realize how drunk you are.

1

u/snoharm Dec 06 '16

If you don't know that you're drunk before you hit six Long Islands, you either have a horrific problem or your bartender is regulating for you.

1

u/moparornocar Dec 06 '16

oh you know youre drunk, they just go down too quick and you end up too drunk. also partially why i dont drink anymore.

with some OG 4lokos

you mean vodka red bulls?

or do you think they were the first ones to put energy drink and booze together?

1

u/WhenTheBeatKICK Dec 06 '16

OG 4loko's meaning the one's with caffeine. they took out the caffeine and the original's slowly went out of stock and were no more. state next to us still had some for a bit. 4loko was just the first to make it super popular and cheap and it came in a large can. We used to gather our loose change up and get drunk freshman year.

vodka red bull = robot water = what i order at the bar now when im trying to have a long night. ain't cheap like a loko though!

u/Dkjq58 Dec 06 '16

Ha, a bar I frequented in college had $4 PITCHERS of Long Islands every Wednesday. That was intense.

1

u/Rotatos Dec 06 '16

....I get a Long Island for $8 if I'm lucky, and those are usually VERY VERY weak.

u/STFUNeckbeard Dec 06 '16

That would be disgusting.

u/cspyny Dec 06 '16

u/FlyinDanskMen Dec 06 '16

There's a bar 1-2 blocks from ASU in the bar district that used to sell LIIT for $2. In a pint glass. It was dangerous.

Also there was a place on Thursdays 1 mile away from campus that had a $10 cover and penny 12 oz beers. ASU was a good place to get drunk. This was a time when 90% of Reddit was in grade school or younger though....

And thus the Lord spake,

"And ye shall mix all liquors into one,

Until no more liquor shall be added,

And splash it with Coca Cola until brown,

And thus shall be tea of Long Island,

Which makes Wives lose their garb,

And good men lose their sense,

And known as 'Arizona' for all time."

There is hard tea, just ain't 99cents.

just get some steel reserve tallboys and pour some orange juice in them. can't guarantee you wont wake up with a headache needing to take an awful shit though

Just add some skittles and cough syrup.

u/Sk84sv Dec 06 '16

Arizona used to make or contract out malt liquor drinks! I did some Googling but came up empty. The drinks were obviously more expensive and they were terrible.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '16

They do make a hard Arnold Palmer in a tall can. It is slightly more than 99 cents, though.

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '16

Wouldn't that be a John Daly?

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '16

I think there is one of those as well unless it's a joke i don't understand. I'm not a golfer but do enjoy a good malt liquor ice tea/lemonade mix

1

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '16

I seriously that that was the proper name. I'm pretty sure the John Daly is with vodka, so the difference is probably the type of alcohol used.

u/Doomsdayer Dec 06 '16

radio voice Coming this summer to a gas station or grocery store near you; inspired by the yanks who brought "Arizona" tea from the boroughs, Boston Beer Company's Sam Adams "Arnie's Secret Stash". The perfect drink for casually drinking on the course with the guys or to get you through those damn lunches with the ladies. Once you drink one, we know you'll want fore more. At this price you could throw it in a harbor, but why would you? Unless your wicked pissed, then be our guest.

Sam Adams is a registered trademark of the Boston Beer Company. Please drink responsibly.

Tall boys are generally cheaper than Gatorade or milk.

I would say it is an actual Long Island iced tea. Since the alcoholic drink is not specifically from Long Island and is not iced tea.
