ahahahaha. well, jim beam... eeeh.... if i may recommend, sobieski is a nice polish rye vodka that's easy on the wallet. or maybe used to be cheaper, i don't know these days, but in this store it's the same range as jim beam. https://www.petershamliquormart.com....+Classic+Vodka
holy shit i used to pay 11usd which is like 15aud at today's rates. maybe it's a tax thing, idk.

anyway here's some drunk biochemistry lol: edited: crap reference, sorry

i dont agree 100% with that chart. for one thing, beers vary widely; that low congener rate likely refers to some lagers. second, gin is just vodka with some nice smells, not sure why it would rate medium. third is that vodkas also vary a lot--some are clean as fuck, some give you a headache from the first sip. but you can get a nice bottle without breaking the bank and it blends with anything for infinite cocktails. my favorite is the bloody mary, for the day after, hahahaha.

oh, also, some of that advice is fucked: don't take painkillers for a hangover: some can actually fuck with your liver, why did i post you that mediocre link? lol, apologies. i've deleted now.

ok this one looks much better:

see, gin and vodka are close.

on a hot summer day a salty dog is nice. not sure if you can take grapefruit though. but a gin rickey (gin, lime, club soda) is ah so refreshing... g&ts are great to beat tropical weather too with the help of quinine, but most tonic brands are oversweet, and the good ones will strain your student budget. i'd stick with the rickey.

i like various gins but if you're looking for a proper girly beverage hendricks has roses and cucumbers in the aromatic mix.

oh look! here some valuable entertainment: https://fiftypoundsgin.london/blog/w...-girl-are-you/

postscript: we had some new zealand passionfruits at the local store the other day. this means you have it in your hemisphere right now--maybe a vine growing at home even?

passionfruit is great with vodka but im out of it. so today i smashed the juice out of one fruit and stirred it with an ice cube and some cheap organic gin i get these days at trader joe's. not great, but serviceable, and "organic" lol. in the summer when i have basil in the pots i'll add some crushed basil leaf to passionfruit cocktails. with vodka, same difference. anyway, you get the idea... get your vitamins/some nutrition in your drink lol.
