- I set out to find the perfect Manhattan by making 42 of them.
In an earlier episode, the Vesper Martini specifically, I mused about the idea of a drink matrix: taking two variables, plotting them on an X and Y axis and running through them all. It seemed like a fun idea, and I asked twitter what I should start with, and the most common answer was a Manhattan. Seven ryes crossed by six vermouths yield forty two drinks, which got me into a bit of trouble as you'll see in this episode. But I also think this is super interesting and really informative, and there's some real surprises here too.
Whiskies (in order of line up):
Michter's Kentucky Straight Rye
Rittenhouse Straight Rye
Old Forester Kentucky Straight Rye
Whistle Pig Straight Rye
Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye
Bulleit Straight American Rye
High West Rendezvous Rye
Matrix Timeline by Row:
00:00 - Explaining the plan
05:14 - Martini and Rossi Sweet Vermouth
10:54 - Noilly Prat Rouge Vermouth
16:35 - Carpano Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth
23:48 - Punt E Mes Sweet Vermouth
31:24 - Dolin Sweet Vermouth
37:56 - Starlino Hotel Rosso Vermouth
After all that Greg's Favorite is Antica Formula with Alberta Premium

You've gotten me into the idea of mixing drinks. I've been reading imbibe, and it is really a treasure trove of information.
Stay safe dude
Damn Madman!!!
i would love for you to re visit the alberta premium manhattan but with the standard AP because the cask strength stuff is a special edition that no longer exists sadly and even as a canadian can not find it any more.
Glad you made it out the other side alive. :)
Call him Einstein because this is the Manhattan project
@Joshua Simonson I am become alcohol, destroyer of livers
Missed opportunity to title this the Manhattan project

YE HAVE SUMMONED ME!
@@TheRealFDR Go back to whence you came!
@Joshua Simonson You beat me to it...
This episode can be used to teach actors different levels of drunkenness.
When he was 80% through his hand started SHOOTING towards wherever his eyes looked with EXTREME SPEED. I was afraid. Very entertained, but also afraid.
@@PatrickKniesler afraid of what lmao
@@PatrickKniesler Does yours not?
@@Wycher afraid he’d smash something with his hands on accident
as an actor, its specifically why Im downloading it
I love how at the beginning he was like "I took one sip per drink" and as we go on, we see him taking two or three, sometimes four sips per drink.
Three tiny sips = one regular sip
His logic, probably
He said "IF I only have one sip" - establishing the absolute bare minimum he could possibly have drunk.
Yeah after that preamble at the beginning I was wincing every time he went back to try a previous one to compare
Drunk sip can be between 1 and 5.
There’s definitely a fuck it moment for almost everyone when drinking to a certain extent.
Wife: What the hell did you do?
Greg: Sorry I slipped and fell into 42 very interesting and complex Manhattans.
Well, 36, plus the 6 from the Michters...
EVOLUTIONARY Manhattans, dear
Wife: "So... that's a no on the wine tonight?"
Greg: *[Pukes just thinking about it]*
The only proper response would have been: "Research! I was doing research!"
@swj719 I might grab a bottle of old Forrester, though.
As someone who asked for the "manhattan matrix" I feel partly responsible for this.
*It's All Your Fault!*
Thank You ☺️
Thank you!
Thank you.
I also asked for this, but I thought it would be over the course of several days. I take responsibility for not specifying this time frame.
Greg's liver hates you
"Oh hes trashed"
*sees that theres another 30 minutes*
👁👄👁
"
This vernmouth"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"this tastes like dirt and moldy cherries" two seconds later, "I don't hate it."
I am absolutely amazed that all the glassware survived.
It's true
47:25 Greg slumps unconscious across the counter and knocks over every glass and every bottle.
By the end, you could've given him Nyquil and he would still say cherry and dirt
LOL!
only the red NyQuil. The green death NyQuill will continue to taste like green death.
@@falsenames there's red Nyquil? I know there's Dayquil which was red/orange
@@alexfraze12087 Yeah, night time NyQuil is generally either red or green and DayQuil is usually orange.
Omg I’m dying laughing at these comments.
Drunken man roasts Michter's Rye for 45 minutes.
As someone that has a bottle of Michter's in the bar I felt personally attacked.
@@TheTspaeth you should.
Most of what I've learned here is to not buy Michter's
@@The_Jovian I've learned that I should buy Alberta Premium...
@@JavelinActual only the cask strength stuff. Their usual stuff is in plastic jugs
The idea of him hosting a tasting room in person and passing out in front of his customers while presenting is hilarious.
I just spit out my soup. As a chef, this idea is hilarious
@@llab3903 no, soup is fine, you don't have to spit that out it's not gonna poison you
@@Fichtelslynkahoudn I’m not a chef, but I would think that chefs don’t actually swallow food during big tastings because food tastes different depending on how hungry you are.
A starving person could eat anything warm and decent and think it was from the gods.
But an absolutely stuffed person would get nauseous at the sight of even the best Michelin star dishes.
@@matthewgumabon7498 i don't even want to know how much food is wasted for such things. As an avid home cook and food lover i wouldn't ever conduct multi meal tastings at all, as i much rather want to observe the whole Effect of a Single meal, including how the food impacts the stomach, the grade of food induced lethargy et cetera. all of those criteria are important for me to judge food. The experience is much more than just taste, even more so for food than for spirits or wine. But that's just a Theory. A Booze Theory ;)
Greg did not stare into the abyss, he walked in knee deep with his hands on his hips took in a breath and said in the same state of mind as a Midwesterner who walked outside during a tornado to get a better look "I know this was a bad idea, but I could not resist" lol.
As a man from Missouri aka tornado alley I can confirm we do go outside when there is bad winds to watch for tornadoes
@@smithy1578 Iowa, we just like to take a gander

GREG: Don't try this at home!
ME: Oh this is gonna be a *good* episode.........
Greg: Don't try this at home!
Me (already halfway to the cabinet): dammit
YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO GREG!!
ITS MY STOMACH LINING AND ILL DO WHAT I WANT WITH IT!!
I heard that n thought exactly the same
Greg halfway through
"My plan was calculated....man am I bad at math"
I truly am
I read this comment right as he was saying, "2+2=6" I hadn't laughed that hard all week. Lol
Watching his eyes just get bigger and bigger but the fact he's still focused on the mission is absolutely hilarious and so compelling
There’s that point of drunk where you hit the single-mindedness
He loves what he does 🤷♂️
Bro stumbled to his bed after this.
After drinking the equivalent of an entire fifth of rye, still has the reflexes to catch a falling battle. I am impressed
It’s like a dad who just woke up and sees his child falling, still groggy, but very much protective.
ahh yes, battles do tend to fall off the table
@@mx_nana_banana definitely dad-reflexes
Battle Freudian slip 😂
@@shilohstore6086 This was a battle, the liver vs Alcohol
Should’ve named this episode “How to drunk”
"I wouldn't want to chill this water and incorporate any fridge taste"
*Strains through fingers*
nah, he said people would complain about that
He is a gentleman and a scholar. 🧐👨🎓💛
This cocktail has finger prints all over it, humany and skinny.
I think he meant not using water from the fridge spigot, but I could be wrong
What's the point of straining with your fingers if there's a good 3-4 milimeters of space between them? Anything that could get through wouldn't be noticed considering how drunk he is
When I saw the disclaimer I was like "it can't be that bad", then I saw his first "sip" and was like "oh, oh no"
We needed the followup episode: Greg creates a matrix of Gatorade & painkillers the next morning.
😂
I'm not having a glass of whiskey Sharon. I'm having FORTY. It's called a matrix and its CLASSY!
i would love to hear Randy Marsh say that
With a side of creme fraiicheee
holy fucking shit. yes.
🤣🤣🤣
It’s a brave man who records his drunken ramblings and publishes them. Most of us are fortunate enough to have them forgotten the next morning.
the REALLY fortunate, don't have friends with cameras during our drunken ramblings
I somehow managed to remember and recall minute details including things I’ve said and done and who was around and where I was from when I was drunk.
I really can’t get drunk enough to lose control and when I get drunk enough (after a very excessive alcohol consumption attempt, like downing a vodka bottle) I just go to sleep and wake up ultra-hammered.
I love your prof pic
@@Bluebelle51 a good policy when partying with other grown folks is to lock up the phones early. 😂
I should be grateful that Discord doesn't have a recording feature just trust me LOL
I like how alcohol just makes everyone overpronounce the shit out of vaguely non-English words.
Not gonna lie, super impressed with how long he actually remains able to iterate what he's saying correctly 🤣
Unfortunately, by the end, can we -really- trust his taste on the manhattans, or had his tastebuds been compromised by the excessive amount of alcohol he had already consumed? lol
@@LudacritzTTV I'd have to agree to the latter. No one's tasting anything right after that much alcohol 🤣
I DO respect that he only made the mistake once, realized the mistake, and found a solution to it in the future.
@@LudacritzTTV 100%
Or stand...
Alternate title: "Greg drinks an entire fifth of rye"
This made me spit out my drink.
@@VladdViever something Greg should've done here
Literally one and a little bit more than half of a wine bottle worth of cocktail.
@@angelwhispers2060 Over probably not a very long time, too.
What’s a fifth? A fifth of what?
Is that another weird way Americans measure stuff?
The background music should have gradually and imperceptibly started to warble and warp as the episode goes on
If you ignore his warnings and play along at home, it will. So will his voice. And the screen. And the room around you.
u should be a producer of a webshow
A la "Everywhere at the End of Time"
@@doowi1182 ah a man of culture and taste I see

Weak
Missed opportunity to call this episode "The Manhattan Project"
Oh man thats fantastic, it would pull in random people researching the project.
It certainly lives up to the destructive potential of the episode.
44:26 considering how absolutely smashed he is, this save is impressive as fuck lol
Here, here!
Came down to the comments just to look for someone taking about that save! It was impressive as hell!
The proud laugh. XD
Wasn’t so lucky with the margaritas.
and then he laughs like the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz, lol
He did all the calculations, but boy... he was bad at math
For the math nerds here, this is a 2+2=5 moment...
"How much is a taste?"
Tastes each one more than once.
Tastes the over-proof ones several times.
LOL yeah his math from the beginning goes out the window when he keeps going back for comparison tastes. He might as well double the number of sips.
😂🤣
Only on 23:00 and he’s already Spicy
I saw him take two sips of the first one and I knew he was in for a ride
73 sips i counted
I feel like this episode needs a sip counter, just because of the double or triple sips Greg ends up taking
To be fair he says he figures his average sip is about an ounce and it's definitely less than that. The drinks he mixes are like 4 ounces to begin with and I don't think he's sipping a quarter of them with each sip. The triple sips probably just bring it close to how much he estimated he drank.
although if you are wondering how many sips he did take, I counted as best I could and he did, give or take 5 sips, 69 total (heh big funny number)
@@rorrick4567 nice
@@vitriolicAmaranth So I estimate a sip at 15 ml, its about a tablespoon in cooking, enough to wet your mouth and make a little swallow. 69 x 15ml = 1035ml, otherwise known as a liter, of alcohol. 40% alcohol by volume, that's like drinking 400ml of everclear. But because no one in their sane mind would drink straight everclear, I hope, for regular shots, 1035ml is about 23 1.5 oz shots
@@left4twenty I think closer to 10 mL. Like I said, about 1/3 of an oz, an oz being about 30 mL. 276 mL of everclear is still quite a bit, of course.
Michters is $120 in oz, Bullit is like $60, you've saved me a good fistfull of clams Greg, cheers!
0.o anyone charging that kind of scratch for michter's it's completely out of their freaking mind.
What is oz?
@@angelwhispers2060 he means Australia, not ounce
@@DatBoi-mo9vc Australia
@@angelwhispers2060 Gotta love our ridiculous tax system on alcohol. All supposedly to protect teens from the dangers of binge drinking yet you can buy 4 litres of disgusting boxed wine at like 35 proof for like $10. Makes sense...
“Greg, we can just film the outro when you’re less shit-faced and edit it in later...”
Greg: “NO! U’m alriddy dirting it!”
Gotta admire the commitment.
It would have been a conversation with myself since I’m all alone here.
@@howtodrink You’re even braver than I thought! I suppose next you’re going to tell me you also write the hilarious captions we see during your tasting notes?

Well, that is how I will dub all different forms of a Manhattan. "The Manhattan Project".
Muy buena esa señor mío
Jolly good pun sir
Lol'd.
As healthy as this wasn't, hammered Greg was hilarious
Should make another channel "How Not To Drink" and just fill it with bloopers and drunk moments.
The 1st sip isn't the issue. Everytime he does back for the 2nd sip is what really adds up
Believe it or not, both contain alcohol.
@@fuduzan5562 nah, the drink let's you have your first sip free, but then you pay for everything after.
Enter, the 3rd sip
and on some of them it was like 4 sips kmsl
The suspense of whether he'd spill or knock something over was riveting
I have never been so on the edge of my seat on UA-cam before. I thought my heart would stop.
Right?! 😅🤣
I was honestly quite surprised and impressed.
That catch around 44:28 tho - I couldn't do that sober.
Even with constantly picking up everything, incredible
Nearly two years later and I'm still coming back to this episode for flavor combination notes, this time for Dolin... and cracking up each time. Thank you for your liver's sacrifice, Greg.
Greg nearly knocking over the bottle of High west after tasting all of those manhattans... and STILL catching it is the sign of a true barman. Never let a good bottle go to waste by way of falling to the floor haha
Always wanted to see Greg get actively blitzed on camera. Thats what I’m here for baby
tiki drinks episode
Imagine how much fun it would have been on the sea shanty episode!
Hard same.
The lives are the best for that
Check out the Frose episode. It was nothing short of pure Chaos
So this is why we didn’t hear from you in over a month lol.
I think he probably recorded this right after the last video and it took this long to recover lol
He needed a full liver transplant after this shoot
31:24 is really the moment you can tell he's graduated from regular drunk to trashed
16:49
"This verna-mouth-"
We are at 14 out of 42, and he keeps taking second drinks, "to be sure." This gone be BAD.
I genuinely expected this episode to end in a blizzard of broken glass scored to Edith Piaf's "Non, je ne regrette rien" in extreme slow motion.
The extreme slow motion is what tops it all
I can see this in my head and it is glorious!
@@fhqwhgads1670 your username makes me smile in nostalgia. Everybody to the limit!

I wouldn't have doubted that for a second! Now I have to go watch Inception again.
Anyone else ridiculously impressed with Greg successfully catching that falling bottle of High West while also being the most inebriated we've ever seen him on camera?
It's the sauced physics. While drunk as skunk, you can never spill alcohol!
@@johku7638 you can fall down a flight of stairs and not spill a drop
Almost the drunkest? Which vid tops this?
@@sophiamarchildon3998 “also”, not “almost”. An easy misunderstanding.
LOL I actually rewound to re-watch that. Drunken master Greg over here
I still laugh every time i watch this and Greg casually just says he’s gonna make 42 drinks for himself like its nbd
Greg:
"I stand by whatever I said earlier."
Words to live by.
Starts episode with " Don't try this at home. It was a bad idea (execution)." Gets drunk says to hell with it. We'll do it live. Major friday night live vibes at one point. A man on conviction and will power. I salute you sir
I want to see Greg do a Drunk History of the prohibition.
Yeeees!
For reference the 3 part PBS documentary was really well done.
That would be quite interesting...the cat's meow for ideas.
YES THIS A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!EPISODE IDEA FOR REPEAL DAY, GREG
YES!
This is like the reverse version of Fry’s 100 cups of coffee in Futurama.
By the second row, my bf and I started to sip our drinks every time he said Dirt. Highly recommended.
Since his sips are about 1,5 ounces, he drank 63 ounces (~1,85L) of a drink that has (according to google) around 30% alcohol. And thats if he took just one sip of each. For comparison, he drank more alcohol than if he had emptied 2 bottles of fireball by himself.
1.5 seems like alot per sip.
@@abelq8008 This is based on his own measurements. He said himself that he takes huge "sips".
@@itsonlyafleshwound9024 Late, but if he was taking 1.5 ounce sips he would be drinking nearly half the cocktail, which he clearly isn't. 0.5 of an ounce is more realistic.
@@itsonlyafleshwound9024 1.5 ounces seems huge, more like a full blown gulp than a sip. That´s about 45ml. 100ml (3oz)is about as much as you can possibly get into your mouth, or the content of a small jam jar. Taking a 1.5oz sip of cocktail is serious commitment, and judging from what he leaves in the glasses, 0.5-1 seems more likely. times 42, that´s still way more than enough for a pretty rough morning after.
The cat like reflexes to catch the high west bottle at the end while completely wasted was the most impressive thing I’ve seen in 2021
The drunken master
I was gonna say the same exact thing. He deserves some sort of award or at least 100 party points!
I stared at that matrix for a solid minute trying to see what world he thought that absolute ocean of alcohol was gonna not mess him up
Call me irresponsible but I wouldn’t let those drinks go to waste, especially the good ones.
To be fair, you have to have a very refined pallet to understand Bulleit Rye. The complexity is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of barrel aging most of the notes will go over a typical drinker's head. There's also Bulleit's exotic personality, which is deftly woven into its characterisation- its woodiness draws heavily from Subsaharan furniture, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these notes, to realize that they're not just delicious- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Bulleit Rye truly ARE idiots.
This was such a great joke that I missed it for like 45 seconds before it steamrolled me
I was gonna say "you must be really fun at parties 🙄" and then the joke hit me, great stuff!
Is this a god damn Rick and Morty copypasta?
I started reading this going "is this a Rick and Morty joke?" "No, I think they are serious." and then I saw "The fans understand this stuff" and immediately knew for certain. Good stuff.
It's a fine inexpensive 95/5 MGP Rye
"I'm going to pour 42 Manhattans"....
"This is the worst, I love, it tastes like plastic, but I want to marry it"
After watching this, my liver hurts but I’ve never wanted a Manhattan more.
I had a similar thought, but it was "boy, gotta get me a bottle of that Alberta Premium." My cocktails are usually tequila-based and I've never had a Manhattan in my life, but I want one now
@@Brandyalla Alberta Premium Cask strength has sold-out in Ontario now twice, ( first and second bottlings) because of it's high placement in Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible this year.

@@Brandyalla Best of luck. Despite the powerful bottle-proof booziness, it has quite an interesting array of flavour nuances... just water it down a little and let them open-up. Enjoy, if you can find it. Slàinte !!
This is like watching a drunk friemd make a mistake he absolutely did not have to make but that you cannot stop him from making
In many ways it feels like I wish I was on the crew and could hand him a burrito or something between jump cuts. You're right he's like that one dumb friend that is absolutely brilliant but doesn't quite take into account all of the unintended consequences that they really need to set up for if they're going to do this anyway...
@@angelwhispers2060 I think he’s states he’s alone on these shoots during pandemic, so it was just him on his own set of tracks and it would seem there were many pennies placed.
This is like watching the Seattle Mariners in September. You know something very bad is going to happen and you're powerless to do anything but sit and watch.
I'm surprised by how well he held it together at the end and remembered his tasting opinions with each combination. I would have been absolutely wrecked after that much alcohol.
Thank you for sharing this. I've never watched anyone get that drunk before. Now I know what it feels like to watch someone go from "lol they're tipsy and it's cute" to "oh no, I'm genuinely worried about you"
He was drunk after the first row. I started really getting worried every time he went back for another taste.
The mythical 42 manhattans incident! It’s finally here.
And yet ironically 42 supposed to be the meaning of life. So has everyone who likes Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and enjoyed this episode now fulfilled their life? *Existential dread*

Hindsight is 2021 lol
the banjo music when he's totally sloshed is a nice touch
Watching him fumble his words only to realize he was just about halfway through the matrix was a painful moment for me. This was a wild video!
When you said you wanted to do a cocktail matrix I was thinking that maybe you'd do a 3 by 3 of old fashioneds or something like that. I was definitely not expecting you to make 42 manhattans and drink them all.
I mean, go big or go home, right?
I love how Greg gets swearier as he gets more intoxicated.
As all should

Watching you slowly turn into the Orson Welles champagne outtakes was amazing. Worrisome, but amazing.
You have admire how professional this was and how much work he put in to it, while gradually becomes trashed and desperately tries to maintain his composer. Well done. Hilarious.
While I applaud the recognition that there needs to be an adjustment to this format for future installments, there is something luridly alluring about watching one man's descent into such an abyss. Charted not only by the behavior on screen, but also the growing pools of spillage on the bar around the various water vessels.
Yes, but not a drop of liquor was spilt. He knows his priorities.
If it wasn't detrimental to his health I'd love to see it more, bud I'd say it's definitely worth it that he changed it. Lmao
I almost wish he'd make a fishbowl out of all of them to see what would happen. You'd end up with The Manhattan Project.
For the record: I don't mean to poison the man, but with all he's said regarding how bizarre flavors emerge from seemingly similar constraints, I wonder if it'd be like drinking petrol or ambrosia.
petrol 100%. Once you get that many different notes playing together it all just ends up cancelling out.
I support this.😁
Armyfreak
Petrol 100% should be the name of a cocktail ngl
Mix the cherry forward ones, taste.
Mix the dirty ones together, taste.

Pass out before you can mix the last two together.
This is one of my favorite episodes because of this: You knew exactly what you were getting yourself into but you knew the only way to really pit these different versions of the drink against each other was to do it in one sitting. You did it anyway and you got some real results.
This man is truly risking his life in the process of teaching us something of value.
After the intro, I fully admit to fully watching this out of morbid curiosity...
I’ll be doing the very fucking same
I got about 10 mins in and couldn't. Had to skip ahead. Its interesting seeing the progression of drunkenness that way. By the last few minutes of the episode I found myself going, oh yeah... Nope. That poor dude. The intro now makes a WHOLE LOT of sense. 😅😭
"So how's the pandemic going for you?"
"The other day I did a matrix of 42 Manhattans and they tried to kill me!"
Bro, you are a legend. I have seen some incredible shit on UA-cam, but the determination to get through that and give the people the information they need to know, fucking legendary. Spit buckets are for dudes that don't want to be on statues. You are a statue my friend.
This is FASCINATING. Not just getting the analysis of a bunch of different rye and vermouth brand taste/notes all at once, but the _mix_ comparisons, too -- and in such an orderly fashion?
....Also, I weep for your liver holy shit. DD:
Also also, guess I'm never buying Michter's. 😅
This may be the first episode other than perhaps the cursed cocktails episode where he is definitely showing us how NOT to drink.
You forget the legendary marathon: Piña Colada, One of Everything, Froze, and Snake Juice w/Lagavulin 16 Old Fashion. Then you watch the "aftermath" episode with the Suffering Bastard. Arguably, Greg's... finest?
If someone came to my house, mixed 42 cocktails and only drank a sip of each, and started warbling like a dying Hutt ...yeah they did it wrong.
This was the episode Hunter Thompson would have DEARLY loved to witness. My God, 42 Manhattans. That was Gonzo, for certain sure.
Never seen anyone so thoroughly toasted out of their gourd since my early 20's partying days.
I don't typically rewatch your videos unless I'm reminding myself what goes into certain drinks for the purpose of making them, but I think I'm really about to watch this one all the way through again 5 months later hahahaha
And from the void the creature came, through gnashing teeth proclaimed, “DIRT! DIRT! DIRT!”
This episode just devolves from "How it started" into the "How it's going" meme. Pretty hilarious.
this has to be my favorite episode and maybe channel. Definitely the best Matrix, ever (so far), Mr. Anderson. it got me through Covid.
Just rewatching this, I think you were fairly hammered at 12 minutes, I've no idea how you finished this episode, thank you for your service 🖖
See the problem is you were drunk halfway through the tasting so we're going to need you to repeat the experiment starting in reverse order to make sure those tasting notes are accurate. Haha jk Greg, keep up the good work man love the channel!
But then a third and fourth time. Staring each time in the middle and working out in each direction.
You know, for science.
scaper8
We need to taste those cocktails in every permutation possible to get an accurate result.
Invite your friends, we have some bottles to destroy.
Haha I’m pretty sure he was drunk by row two.
he probably should taste each of the individual spirits too, just for reference
You described exactly how much you'd be drinking, and as a fellow lightweight who hasn't had lunch yet, I think I got a contact drunk through my phone screen lol
Please do more of these! Was so much fun to watch as well as super informative
Ceiling cam makes its premier in an episode where Greg almost dies
“I’m LA Beast, and this is the 42 Manhattan challenge. Have a good day!”
"I'm LA Beast, and I'm having my Liver surgically removed!"
HAVE A GOOD DAY
*commences to vomit in the glasses* i must train harder!
😂😂awesome love the la beast
Drinking game, drink every time Greg says dirt. You’ll get almost as drunk as he did.
With what? Coors Lite? I don’t wanna fucking die.
tried it, didn't affect me at all.. I'm drinking water tho lel
@@brandonmartine291 shotgun a beer every time he says dirt
Nah I’m good haha!
Or evolution LOL
Bought myself some Antica and Alberta Premium because of this :P. Thanks for sacrificing yourself for science. This is my favorite episode so far. Love what you do here!
I already have antica on hand, now gotta find the Alberta premium.
I've never seen this channel before, don't know how it showed up on my feed, but god damn I am glad. I was crying a majority of it, subbed.
If I did this: Hmm, this tastes like drink.
I don’t even think you’d taste it at that point
"Ah yes, alcohol"
My, my, I seem to have ingested a liquid.
I would probably be out by the third row. hic*zzz
@@riograndedosulball248 alcohol, alcohol. notes of alcohol. nose of alcohol.
By the end of the the first row of Manhattans Greg was already pretty blitzed. How worse could it get?
*Keeps watching*
Oh.
This was informative and extremely entertaining. Well done Greg.
