What is Graves?
1.
A popular grain alcohol, commonly available for $20.00 at most liquor stores.
The catch is that this alcohol is 190 proof, which means that, for those who can do the math, this shit is 95% pure alcohol, higher than over the counter rubbing alcohol. The most amazing part of drinking it is not how three shots can fuck you up to a reasonable degree or the fact that there is a XXX on the bottle, but instead the fact that it leaves your mouth numb and your throat slightly burned if drank straight.
The kind of drink to enjoy when feeling suicidal, but not when you want to hook up, for you will end up passed out on the floor naked with a strong case of whiskey dick anyway.
"Did you get that graves, son?"
"Hell yeah, brother. I'm trying to put dem purple spots on my liver tonight."
