Yeah, well i did it the wrong way about ten times until i figured why the minute i took the first shot i began to feel like crap. Although I've notice that rum and cokes don't cause this problem.

Yeah it sucks. I, myself have only done it 'the wrong way' a few times. I don't think it bothered me that much though. But I did have a beer after a lot of vodka the other night and it was the best damned beer I've had in a loooong time. Mmmm...

I think vodka is best mixed with lemonade.
I don't remember the ratios of sugar, water, lemon juice, vodka and a bit of Sprite I think, but I made a real killer mix a few years ago that was such a hit at a party I got nicknamed 'the professor' and had requests for the stuff even a year later. LoL
Maybe I'll work on it next weekend.
Vodka+lemonade is the way to go.
