Drinks? (good taste, but high % of C2H5OH; and not expensive))

Grain Punch... as mentioned use Everclear, but I prefer the red colored fruit punch, and add additional things like cut up banana and apple. The fruit will really knock you over after sitting in the punch for a while.

Swamp Water... This was a college favorite since you can use cheap vodka. Take a big punch bowl, add a pile of sugar, bottle of cheap vodka. Stir briefly until the sugar starts to dissolve, and add 3 parts water and some slized citrus fruits like lemon, lime, orange. If the proportions are correct, it will end up tasting like flavored water with no alcohol taste. I never had an official recipie, but it was something like a 750ml bottle of 100proof Smirnoff, 2 cups of sugar, and add water until all of the sugar dissolves. You can adjust the amount of sugar depending on how strong or nasty the vodka is to start with to kill the taste, and add more water to dilute.

Red Death... 1oz vodka, 3/4oz each of Amaretto, Triple Sec, Southern Comfort, Sloe Gin, and a splash of OJ and a little lime juice. Shake and get hammered.

Unfortunatelly, Kool-Aid is totally unknown to me, so even while I know, now, what it is (Wikipedia...), I don't know what would be best substitute...anyone?

Any powdered fruit flavoured drink mix would work fine. Do you have anything like that over there? If not, just use any kind of fruity beverage or even real juice.

The most basic recipe is:

the more brown sugar, lemon juice and ice you take, the more alcohol can be added ...

Seriously, when I'm mixing cocktails at home, I usually start with pouring brown sugar into the blender (maybe 1-2 inches high), then add lemon juice until the sugar in soaking wet, then add the alcoholic drink of choice (tequilla, rum, vodka, cachaça or whatever is available at hand)

blend it shortly so that the sugar starts to resolve, then add icecubes until the blender is about half full ... blend it until the ice is crushed to really small pieces

finally add the flavor of your taste, eg. coconut milk, pineapple juice, vanilla sugar etc. and a grain of salt (!) to finally blend it

agallag - we had something like this...when communists rule. Time to move on at your place
And, seriously, this sounds now like typical things drunk here, of which I want to escape a bit (I thought that Kool-Aid has something in it that makes it good for the purpose)

rylan...swamp? Interesting to know how's the thing called, even if our version has no sugar (wonder what difference does it make...) and ends up ~50 or 60%, made of quite pure alcohol. Anyway, I'll try probably to not go the way of "basically flavoured Vodka"...

OK, time to save replies, look at them thoroughly and decide... (but keep'em comin! )

Polska Wodka from Ziolona Gora (got that for Birthday ) and Finlandia, straight

[Nowhere]

Oh no, plase, only not Zielona Gora... (no, I won't explain)

I don't actually drink this stuff anymore. It's quite popular at university parties because it's dirt cheap. If your goal is drunkeness for the least amount of money, it's great. Otherwise, horrible nastly stuff.

My goal is drunkeness while making taste budds rather happy...

Depends how drunk you want to get. If you want to get quite drunk and not have hangover/headache/stomach ache the following day, I recommend good wodka or quality red wine (in Slovenia quality = 8-10€ per bottle in supermarket and above), such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Refošk, Merlot (maybe on the heavy side)...

If you opt for wine it will be also pleasing for taste.

Various cocktails, mixes can taste good and you can get drunk by just having one or two, but if you overdo it, you might have problems next day. Don't mix too much of various alcoholic drinks if you go this route.

Malibu, cuba libre and similar also come to mind.

You put in some Austrian rum which, I think, is 85% alcohol ..

that would be .

You probably can't get this, but Southern Comfort and Amaretto are good. Sweet liquers without any kick at all, yet lots of alcohol.
