Drinking whiskey to quench your thirst is a very bad idea as it will make you even thirstier, unless you need the booze to help you drink the dirty water. On second thought, maybe mixing the whiskey with the water will kill any bad bacteria in it. On third thought, I would probably take the dirty water and filter out what I could through a t-shirt, hold my nose and drink it.
Oops!! I wish there was coca cola instead of the whiskey in the options. Ok..so since I don't have whiskey as it is forbidden in our religion...I would rather try the dirty water :S Water quenches the thirst best more than anything else. So that would be another reason for choosing the water...although its dirty!
I would have to go with the whiskey..... Parasitology class definitely had an impact on me.. There's no way I would drink the dirty water unless I could boil it first.
Whiskey will make you more thirsty but the dirty water can be both dangerous and make you more thirsty and sick. The whiskey would most likely be my first choice until I could find some way to boil or purify the water and then mix it with the whiskey so the whiskey would last longer!
I'd rather have the whiskey,as I know the damage it causes,with dirty water I'm liable to walk away with more than just thirst in my belly,the thought of parasites running around inside my body really scare me.
I'm not a drinker so bring on the shot of booze and let me get drunk and forget I'm thirsty but I don't think I could do the dirty water,have you ever looked at so called purified water under the microscope....I won't say anymore...
I too, don't drink at all now, but if I had to choose, whiskey ! I am agreeing with all the people who say dirty water is very bad for you. Not going to risk that.
Although I agree with Debossman, I would be more afraid of getting sick with the dirty water and becoming even more dehydrated than how whiskey would make me.
I'm with desertkid here. Drink a lot of dirty water, then whiskey to kill all of those germs and wash out the rancid taste. Blech. I've had dirty water, unfortunately; terrible, terrible, terrible. It does help cure the dehydration, though.
[You know, when kids get curious and try something new... Let's just say I got curious and leave it at that. XD]
I would soak my feet in the dirty water. Then drink the whiskey so I wouldn't care that I was dying of thirst.... Then lay back and count the pretty pink elephants floating in the sky!
I made this decision once, while lying on a tent floor in the desert with a broken ankle. I had a bottle of Old Granddad 100 with me, and a milk jug to keep my water in. A sandstorm took my milk jug cap away, and I had no way to store water. I was in pain so didn't feel like walking anywhere. Whiskey shots only made me thirstier, and more complacent to dehydration. Ultimately, I chose to pour the hooch on the ground, hobble to my truck and refill the liquor bottle with H2O.
That act saved my life, as I didn't stand up for nearly 24 hours after that. Better to go without food than without water.
is there a fire and a kettle in which to boil the water? ha ha I don't think I could choke down the water if it is filthy so I'll choose the whiskey even though it burns and tastes nasty
I didn't and'll never ever drink dirty water. I just can't drink water which is black and disgusting. Eew. Anyway, I'll choose whiskey, although I never tried alcoholic drinks..
I'll take the slug of whiskey hands down. Hopefully it's Johnny Walker or something that is at least good and not something cheap like Kentucky Deluxe Jim Beam.
