Oh My God It Burns!
Oh My God It Burns!



Well the staff here at OMGIB are thrilled with the swell of traffic that this experiment has generated. We’re working on more half assed applications of second rate science for the practical slacker as we speak.

Several questions have popped up on a regular basis in the comment thread, so I’ll try to knock them out here one by one:

Um, why didn’t you guys do the test double-blind?
Scienticians often are forced to take short-cuts to make giant king sized leaps of advancement in the field of boozahology. You’ll also notice that the crackers weren’t sterile, the glasses were barely clean, and there was a conspicuous lack of any saftey gear. Sometimes, you just have to stare down the barrel of progress and hope there’s not one sitting in the chamber.

Isn’t it possible that you just ended up drunk and only thought it tasted better
Our taste tests were only about a quarter of a shot each. It took about 20 minutes to complete an entire filtration cycle and we we had some food during the test. I know I only had about 2 shots worth of vodka during the experiment.

Did you try and use the filter for water after the vodka experiment?
The last thing I need in life is to catch a buzz off my morning coffee. Replacement filters are rather cheap as someone in the comment thread mentioned, but I’m sure that a few pitchers of water would take any vodka soaked into the filter out.

I think you forgot to prime your brita filter with water before you used it.
Actually, we did. It was soaked and a few pitchers of water were run through according to the directions on the package. It was in our notes, but we wrote everything up from the notes at the bar.

Why didn’t you . . .
Well although we plan on revisiting this experiment, we’re on to make other breakthroughs of loose cannon science. We encourage all of the aspiring scienticians reading this to try this for themselves and email us your results. Send them over to ohmygoditburns@gmail.com and share your findings.
