The other day I made a martini with Absolut's 100-proof, black-label vodka.
I've never considered myself a lightweight, but you could definitely notice the difference in strength!
How about you? Do you ever drink super-strong alcohol? Anyone else tried the Absolut 100?

I don't really like the super strong stuff. I'd rather have a handful of weaker drinks throughout the evening than just one that stops me in my tracks.
I haven't tried the Absolut 100. Vodka and I are not friends so I probably never will.
1Never tried Absolut 100. But I will soon. Absolut is my choice vodka aside from Skyy. I love my drinks strong. They are rather tasty that way and it doesn't feel like a waste when I have to go to the bathroom. If my drinks are too watered down, I have to run to the bathroom every 5 minutes it seems. The stronger the better. I would not make a very good bartender.
2I love wine. But no hard liquor for me. The Hangover are too bad with 100%.
3ICE101 + Me = Scary fun!
4I love my drinks *made* strong, but with lower-proof stuff. I like to taste the ingredients, and not just the burn. So vodka's not one of my favorites anyway. Much more into the gin, really.
5Lips that touch liquor will never touch mine....not really but I am in the lightweight division and would rather drink all night than have a couple and fall asleep early.
6Mmmmm... Gasoliney!!
7I don't really drink all that much, I prefer regular strength liquor. But twice a year I like really good quality tequila shots!
8Ick, I loathe Absolut! Smirnoff/GreyGoose/VanGogh/Cavalli girl here!
9I'm not a huge vodka fan, but I might try this. Generally I prefer whiskey, though. Straight, never on the rocks or mixed.
My brain is probably about the size of a peanut by now, though.
10Not into vodka, but I love whiskey and bourbon! I'm learning to like scotch too. I love to nurse a glass of any of the above over the course of dinner.
11i remember absolut 100 from college- though it didn't have the black label (bottle?). it had red writing instead of blue. it was very easy to mistake it for the regular.
if i am at a bar i prefer a stronger drink so i feel like i am getting my money's worth lol though at a good bar the drink can be 100% booze and still taste not like it at all
12I love me some Bud Light draws... As for hard liquor... I like it strong. Usually just Capt' & Diet or Vegas Bombs or something.
13I usually stick with the 80-proof stuff, but I might try the 100-proof Absolut if I see it at the liquor store. I'd probably just use a little less of it when I mix it with my drinks.
14I like strong alcohol, and I have the alcohol tolerance level of an Irish dockworker, so it's not a problem for me.
15I'm a whiskey girl and I learned about overproof rums this past summer. I need strong liquor to feel anything at all.
16"I need strong liquor to feel anything at all."
Yep, me too. Beer doesn't do anything for me except make me pee every five seconds, and wine isn't worth it when it takes an entire bottle to get even the barest semblance of a buzz.
17I will try it if there is a drink at a bar/restaurant made with it, but I prob won't go buy it on my own. I don't mind hard liquor if it is in a really good drink, like the bacardi 151 volcanoes at my fave chinese restaurant.
18I'd die. 2 glasses of wine and I'm under the table.
19when i was in college, i used to drink really strong alcohol, but now, i don't think that it's my thing. if i even drink liquor, i make sure that it's not a strong drink cause i don't enjoy it.
20yeah I'm with ilanac13
21I have to say, when intentions to get totally hammered, it's a vodka
22Pre-pregnancy and baby, oh yea. Ever since I had a baby I haven't nor wanted to drink Strong Alcohol. I have the occasional glass of wine or a beer though. I need to mentally be sharp with an infant.
23I prefer higher proof when it's BYOB and I'm at the liquor store myself, but I'm not too picky about it as long as it's alcoholic
I have found with rum though that the higher the proof the less
headachey I get, not really sure why. One pet peeve I have is people confusing proof with percent.
24Ehh...I could take it or leave it. I drink vodka on occasion, but it tastes like medicine to me. I prefer wine or champagne.
25Haven't tried this. But I HAVE tried, and do like 100 proof Captain Morgan (probably because they made sure to offer a trace of spice and vanilla to it which makes sipping much more pleasurable) It's worth it to try it. I don't know how they could spruce up 100 proof vodka. I've done the whole vanilla/citrus/apple flavored, and it never really adds up. Go fig.
26I don't drink.
27I don't drink either...I do like to cook with wine though. Like mussels in white wine, garlic butter sauce.
*I had that Bacardi Black many years ago when I thought 21 meant you're 'supposed' to drink and I though I was going to have a heart attack I got so hot and sweaty...so no thank you.
28and why are the strongest liquors labeled as black?
I wouldn't like anything too strong.
29I love vodka. I can drink it straight. Now.........I have never tried 100 proof and I don't know why I would. If you think it has a good smooth flavor then I will try it the next time I get a chance.
30I'm a red wine girl. And one or two beers a year. With a hot dog
31when i was in college, we definitely always went for the higher proof
i don't drink
much anymore at all!
32oh yes this great!!! i only drink hard liqour at parties because its that or beer. sometimes i do have a cup of beer but i dont think its worth the calories. i figure if you are gonna get drunk why waste time? everclear is my favorite
33I don't get why almost everyone LIVES TO DRINK!
34I once went to the liquor store and i picked up some triple distilled smirnoff 100. The woman at the counter said 'you know this is 100 proof.' I said 'yeah, tastes good too.'
I like my drinks like my men. STRONG.
35I have had strong liquor, but I don't necessarily prefer it.
36depends on how I'm feeling. Sometimes I like a strong drink, but mainly I drink "regular" strength liquors.
37I'm underaged I sooo shouldn't even vote... I only like strong alcohol when I'm trying to get drunk or on a big dinner, but normally I like somethign lighter, just enough to get me a good buzz going.
38i have a bottle of absolut 100 sitting right next to me... i can't wait to try it!! yeah, generally i like my drink stronger. i don't drink for the flavor, i drink to get DRUNK. so the stronger the better.
