Step 1
The process of drinking vodka can be as unique as you are. There are some who enjoy chugging the drink, but for most, mixing vodka is the preferred way. But firsts things first, always make sure that you have foods readily available that are high in carbs. Bread or pasta is a great dish to accompany a night of vodka drinking, as it will soak up some of the alcohol, keeping you from the dreaded “spins.” Make sure you eat 30 minutes prior to drinking vodka, in any form.

Step 2
If you’re a partier, taking shots are a part of your Friday night life. Taking shots of vodka, however, aren’t for the weak stomached. If you give in to peer pressure and start taking shots of vodka, make sure to always have a chaser. Soda, such as Coca-Cola, is a great chaser, and will help soothe the vodka down your throat.

Step 3
If your friends insist on taking shots of vodka and you can’t stand the taste, simply plug your nose. By not breathing through your nose until the alcohol has been completely drank, you will keep the unpleasant taste from overwhelming your taste buds.

Step 4
Mixing vodka with a non-alcoholic beverage is a great way to cover the harsh burn of vodka. Taking Ocean Spray fruit cocktail and mixing a shot’s worth of vodka within a standard 8-ounce cup is an enjoyable way of consuming this alcohol. The Ocean Spray actually hinders the burn of the vodka, allowing even the most picky drinkers to enjoy this wonderful drink. Make sure you keep track of how many Ocean Spray and Vodka drinks (also dubbed Church Wine) you have, it is easy to drink too many because of its pleasing taste.

Step 5
Vodka is notorious for causing many people to call in sick for work because they have the “24-hour flu.” However, do as the Russians and drink pickle juice while consuming this beverage. If you’re at a bar, when you arrive home, take a shot or two of pickle juice. This will help eliminate your hangover so you can make it to work on time.
