Every drunk I have ever known who bottomed out was done in by Vodka at the end. It’s like they all work their way up to it. 

 I call vodka while devil.

ive been sober for 7 years, 1 month and 18 days.  To think vodka is the last stop on the alcohol train is silly.  I go to weekly meetings, and now have a higher power of my understanding.  Its a wonderful difficult journey.. 

most of the people i know got into the "rooms" due to consequences.. normal drinkers dont think about their sobriety.. but its all wasted effort if you're not done.. and if you're not.. go get done.

Just sharing my observations. I’ve been around a lot of hard drinkers in my life and work. Vodka seems to be the last stop usually. It’s not 100 pct and it’s not silly. It’s a fairly large sample size. Ask any bar owner or liquor store owner sometime. I have

its a valid opinion.. i speak to a group of alcoholics everyday.. if rot-gut whiskey was cheaper than the 5th of vodka in that town, all the problem hard drinkers would bottom out on whickey.. just sayin..

Good for you. The worst kind of person I know. Knows they turn into a gigantic d1nk when they drink, still drinks in public settings and gets kicked out of places 

Have another one I say!

I think the progression to vodka has to do with they think it smells less and they can easily mix it with orange juice in the morning. I was working at a liquor store for about a week a few years ago installing security cameras. I was shocked at how many people showed up when it opened  in the morning and people were buying the airplane size vodka bottles. I assumed they took them to work with them. They would get a bag full. I asked the guy how much of that stuff he sells and he said a lot, most of it in the morning.

Right.  There it is, vodka is the liquor you can get away with day drinking on the job etc.   Of course homeless focks just buy the cheapest flavor. The real pros do vodka.
