I wonder if it tastes good? I'm not posting this in the recipes board because I'm asking about drinking it straight, not mixed with anything.

Obviously, from a strictly calories per dollar point of view, it's not that great. But honestly, who's only going to eat food that offers the most economy in that regard? It's not very fun.

And like most folks, I do drink. It's classed as a "liquer" (below 80 proof, it's 17%/34 proof) so it doesn't seem like it would be too bad in that regard, but then again I can drink an "inch" of a 5th of straight bourbon pretty easily.

It's also supposed to be slightly sweet, but I'd like to hear from folks who have tried it. The entire bottle would be 25.4 fl. oz./750ml (a 5th) and about 2,450 calories.

Guess I hope it tastes like liquid sin but I have no idea. I guess I was inspired by another user here who has been putting on weight and at a certain point, she was drinking "boozy milkshakes" and seemed to be having so much fun.

Why?

Oh yeah, seems to work out quite well for that.

I think it is normal to indeed crave not only more food, but fattier food as well. You may even find yourself dreaming about the next meal, if you haven't already.

If you eat after you've been boozing, that'll make you gain. Allegedly, if drunk enough, the body will prioritize the calories from the alcohol, so the extra calories are likely to get stored as additional fat.

You'd also want to get into the habit of larger portions and as much dessert as you can stuff down your gullet.

Making friends with others who are chubby or plump, even obese will probably help too. Odds are, they would likely at least accept eating fattier food and more of it. Less judgment over that extra cookie, or slice of pizza.

This makes perfect sense.

Although, it has gotten to the point where a 40+ BMI doesn't even really stick out much anymore.

I'm sorry to hear you don't believe you can find mutual attraction, whether this is real or merely perceived. I'm not sure what your standards are today, though if you have unreasonable standards, that could be part of it?

In most couples I've seen, heavier women tend to get together with heavier men. Probably a good thing. He won't be able to judge you for your size, and will probably also like eating, too.

I'll admit I don't go to such places, but perhaps I can offer some insight.

I remember one time, back when I was a teenager, this friend of a friend, I saw her wearing shorts and a top that showed off her midriff. She was also plump and overweight. My father in confidence said he thought she didn't have the body for it, but he would never say so in public.

Of course, I thought she did, and I thought she was pretty cute, but I'm an FA who wants you to overeat, so of course I'm gonna say that. Sadly, back then I didn't yet want to admit to myself that I love heavier women who can really eat. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I asked her out on a date, maybe eat lots of pizza. Last I heard, she got married after college. Lucky man. He gets to enjoy her every day and watch her swell up from pregnancy, marriage weight gain, and eventually, the middle age spread will kick in.

I should also mention this was around a couple of decades ago. The U.S. has become considerably heavier and thicker since then. It's actually getting to the point that you'll stick out if you're really thin.

You would have to be very heavy to really stick out, nowadays.

I suppose some folks may privately be disgusted, but I get the impression this is less and less relevant, as America gets fatter every year. In fact, if current trends continue, the U.S. will reach majority obesity (BMI 30+) in '30 and continue to rise.

Indeed. I felt a nice sense of satisfaction when my thighs finally went past 20" around. Now I kind of want to get to 21" and I have less than a quarter of an inch to go!

I'm not sure how I will feel if and when I'm officially overweight.

Next time you should get clothes that are too big, that you can barely wear. Eventually of course, even those ones will become extremely tight.

I'd also recommend using a tape measure and keeping a table, with dates. You'll love the evidence of your arms and legs getting thicker and thicker.

Folks take to it differently. I prefer to use it in cooking, or for "super milk" (heavy cream + half and half, 50/50).

Though one poster here got almost addicted to it. Claimed to gain about a foot in additional waist size in something like 2 months. But he also went way overboard, to the tune of 2 quarts a day. Most folks would never go quite that hard.
