Sinopsis

The boys take a break from beer and do The Vodka Challenge, in which they do a blind taste test between Titos, Skol, Smirnoff, and a mystery vodka.  They start off with a general discussion of vodka -- what it is, what it's made from, how it's made, etc.  If vodka is a neutral spirit, why should you spend more on expensive vodka? Does it matter? What are the characteristics of a good vodka?  The mystery vodka was simply grain alcohol, diluted down to 80 proof, with a little glycerin and sugar to round it out.  After doing their 4-panel test, they tried another common vodka story, which is that you can transform cheap vodka into top-shelf vodka by running it through a Brita filter.
