Ultimate Camping Drink
By the title you may have imagined a vote with "World's Best Drink for Camping" with things like Screwdriver, Red Bull Vodka, Mimosa, Pabst Blue Ribbon, etc. No. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the chimera of alcoholic beverages here. That's right! I'm looking to make the single best gallon-at-a-time camping drink. Not only is this intended to inebriate, but take care of all those sylvan oddities that come up while away from modern plumbing.
First off I'm going to suggest what I have in mind. From there I'm looking for suggestions in the form of blomments. That's a new word for blog comments that I just independently invented. For the record, I don't read the blogosphere, so I wouldn't have heard it elsewhere.
Here goes:
Base:
Red Bull (four normal cans)
Active Ingredient (inebriation):
Vodka (half gallon)
Active Ingredient (gut rot):
Bean-O (one full squirter)
Pepto Bismol (one normal container)
Fibersure (this will take some experimenting... Metamucil may have to do)
Gas-X (6-8 capsules, sans gel coat)
Filler:
Vitamin Water (not sure what flavor... suggestions? What goes well with Pepto?)
Ninja, Pirate, Alien, and Pirate blood (for color)
So there you have it. Let the games begin.

Oy vey.. that ingredients list almost made me horf, lol
I prefer to avoid that extra stuff and just go with:
6 limes, sliced thin
6 lemons, sliced thin
1/2 gallon Vodka
Ice
1 gallon Jar
Combine all ingredients in a gallon jar, fill to the top with ice. Shake to muddle the lemons/limes, and add ice until you end up with a full gallon of liquid.
No meds, no additives, no preservatives, and no mixers required. Protects against scurvy, and mom's love it cause it's got FLOURIDE!
Share and enjoy!
Oi Vey is RIGHT...I think I'm going to grab a drink now, thinking about that list.
Come on, Dildozer - whatever happened to CAMPING LIKE MEN...bring a few bottles of scotch (one good bottle, 2 cheaper bottles)...and a bucket of ice. Guaranteed that by the time your ice is all melted or gone, you won't even care anyway.
And anyone who complains IS NOT A MAN, and therefore SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CAMP.

Gatorade! It's got electrolytes!
I've had some time to think about this since our conversation a couple of weeks ago. I'm convinced that simpler is better. One does wonder why you're settling for vodka, though; it's not very volume efficient. I'd suggest the following Jungle Juice recipe, which was consumed liberally during my college career:
* 3-6 oranges, peeled and separated into slices
* green grapes (maybe a small bunch worth or so)
* (optional) other fruit peeled and sliced if it floats your boat
* 1/2 gallon Clear Springs / Everclear
* 1 large paint bucket w/ lid (5 gallons or so) in which you make ~3 gallons of Hawaiian Punch (tropical punch kool aid in a pinch)
* (optional) stir in some small cans of frozen concentrated fruit juice for extra flavor (OJ, lemonade, etc.) Especially do this if you are using kool aid rather than the (IMHO) much better tasting Hawaiian Punch.
* (optional) if the drink seems too fruity then add Sprite, 7-Up, or Red Bull but I prefer not to have anything carbonated in it myself
The paint bucket lets you put a lid on the concoction. Make it at home before you take off, letting the fruit steep during your trip (we'd generally leave at least 8 hours between the time we made the batch and when we'd drink it and eat the fruit.) Serve over ice (or throw some ice in ~1 hour before you want to drink it if the bucket allows) and this stuff rocks.
You will vomit this concoction up long before the vodka goes for a ride in your bloodstream.
Save your money and buy some excedrin for the headache and some manpons to manage the after effect of gut-rot.
(Yeah, that's right... google 'manpons')

Stephano wins the award for worst sounding drink over me by at least a few hundred horf-points.
I stand by my suggestion of a few weeks ago: Gatorade powder instead of vitamin water or liquid Gatorade. Cheaper and allows you to have more control over the total flavor / concentration of the concoction.
Oh, and to beat the dead horse, add some Brawndo. It's got what plants crave.
