I tried some regular Mohawk Vodka a week ago - cheap stuff, 375ml for $4 - and I actually kinda liked the taste of it. Even by itself. Plus, no hangover.
Qualifier for above statement: My sense of taste was never that strong. You may hate it. Second qualifier: I very rarely get hangovers, even when I forget to drink water and get wasted. And even with the rarelies, there was never a headache. Come to think of it, this reply may not be all that helpful.

Here's the forum on the Mythbusters website - has a thread about filtering cheap vodka. The show's conclusion was it can taste better but not as good as top shelf vodka.
http://community.discovery.com/eve/f...6/m/1391989528 If you mix it, it really doesn't matter. I normally drink it over the rocks and can tell a difference between some brands. But only on the first two drinks. :edit: After reading the thread I just cited, who knows what the hell was proven! Dang, they are all over the place on this one.

never been a big fan of vodka myself, more of a beer guy, but if i were to recommend i would go with absolut, though i find it hard to believe that if you are going to get shnockered on vodka you wont wake up with a hangover anyway. but at least you got your hangover from quality vodka.

Threadjack ahead.
Some time ago, a former co-worker, shared some top-shelf, russian potato vodka. You can see that most common vodkas are made with grain. (I spent about 20mins, looking through the selection at a local store, with lots of vodka.) I have seen a few which appear to be actual potato vodkas, but have not seen one I have liked. At the price of better vodkas, I dont really want to have to buy shitty vodka in pretty bottles, to find a good one. I spent WAY too much on some Glacier,(rubbing alcohol)"vodka". Total suck!!!! Any way, anyone check the label lately on their favorite vodka? Grain or Potato? Last edited by caver; 09-11-2006 at 08:06 PM.. Reason: spelling |

There are actually two components of a hangover:
Dehydration and impurities. The dehydration hangovers usually happen when you drink beer. In those cases, drinking a Gatorade before bed (if possible also a multivitamin) will help immensely. However, if you drink red wine and get drunk, a nasty hangover will probably ensue. Same for darker liquors. This is the impurities that are in the liquor. No avoiding that (except more expensive liquors).

Well i have to tell you all that you need to try One-O-One Vodka. Especially if your an Absolute Fan, eww There's nothing smooth about a vodka that smells like rubbing alcohol. But if your a high end Vodka drinker especially a woman like me who likes there Vodka smooth, without that disgusting Vodka taste, and no hangover hangover, I recommend 1.0.1 VODKA. Yeah, its the only Vodka on the market that calls themselves the NO HANGOVER VODKA. I don't know about this claim for everyone but I've been drinking it for the last 2 years and I can agree with it!!!! Plus, its better than Grey Goose and like $10 cheaper. -----Added 9/10/2008 at 04 : 11 : 06----- Quote:

Dubra is terrible, Popov is a margin of a step up in price (costs $1 more or less usually) and is considerably better, though still terrible. Smirnoff is a fairly good vodka for the price, though the flavored Smirnoff vodkas can give you a hangover even if you don't get drunk.
As far as higher end vodkas, my favorite would be Jewel of Russia, it is smooth and has a very pure flavor, less expensive than Goose/Belvedere and other higher end vodkas. |

I never get a hangeover from vodka. I feel like shit the next day if I even approach tipsy with red wine, and we usually get pretty good wine.
A fun Brita tip, if you like flavored vodka, throw your favorite spice of fruit in the top before inserting the vodka. Cold weather+red pepper flakes+vodka=yum. But have a chaser ready.

I once got a 40 pounder of Fleischman's Vodka from the duty free at Niagara Falls. $9.00 Canadian. Never knew they made vodka. then again, I never bought another bottle. It's been Belvedere for me lately.

To answer the OP's inquiry, there's a cheaper-than-smirnof vodka out there called Viking Fjord. Handles are like 18 bucks, and it's actually tastier and smoother than Smirnoff red label could ever hope to be.
