I've been a long-term advocate of the health benefits of hop juice. It doesn't exactly cure every ailment known to mankind but it's a wonderful distraction from most of them.

It can be grain or potato (or beets or sugar cane, for that matter), it just needs to have sugar and starch.
It used to be that the Finns were more likely to use spuds for their vodka and Poles and the Russians more likely to use grain - not sure if that's still the case but you can certainly still get Finnish vodkas that are potato based.
Never quite understood why people drink the stuff when there's an option of brandy, but each to his own ...

Just pointing out that you cant call vodka potato juice. 
|
|
|
|

Or more accurately: you can call some of the vodka potato juice but it probably ain't the vodka that you're drinking ...

In theory it shouldnt have any flavour, vodka itself is just alcohol and water. Actually gin is exactly the same, made the same way, till you steep flavourings in it.

Yes, that's the fundamental paradox of vodka, the only drink in the world that's valued on your inability to taste it! I'll never quite get that one.
And don't get me onto "artisan" gin - chucking a few drops of flavour into a generic liquid hardly makes someone a master distiller and certainly doesn't justify the price being double/triple/quadruple that of a perfectly serviceable bottle of Gordon's (which all the hipsters were perfectly happy to drink up until a couple of years ago when someone declared it to be "untrendy").
I'm sticking with beer!

I am not much of a spirit fan, but a GnT is very good, as are Tequila based drinks.

It is weird, I really dont get whisky. A cognac on occasion, but that is rare.

I heard one mother telling that to make her kids drink milk, she had to call it "cow juice".
I don't know the age of the kids; they couldn't be that old to accept that name.

Sander van Doorn, Pep & Rash - White Rabbit[^]
This one turned up in my YouTube feed last week.
I was really hoping it would be a dance remix of THE White Rabbit... And it is! 
I really can't get enough of this track, the original by Jefferson Airplane, and the Emiliana Torrini cover for the Sucker Punch movie.
We need more White Rabbit!

I haven't heard it yet but it makes me nervous when people mess with the classics.

Nice one!
But where do I know that girl from?
I don't know Venus Hum, but I do know her...

Annette Strean - IMDb? That is her. Don't know if it will trigger your memories. You have a wider set of influences than I do.

Nope, doesn't ring a bell.
I think I saw her in a music video before, or maybe comedy or something.
Maybe it was just someone who looks like her.
Guess I'll never know.

Nope, in the USA I never got off Houston airport (been there twice for transit flights to central and south America).
That whole area around Montana is supposed to be beautiful though.
I recently noticed how beautiful Wyoming is in a movie.
Can't remember the movie, but since then I want to visit sometime
I'd say I'll visit Whitefish after Yellowstone, but Montana is about nine times bigger than the Netherlands and that would be a six hour drive

Western Montana is beautiful, as that is what the Rockies go through. Eastern Montana is flat in comparison. Wyoming is also flat in comparison. A friend doing a motorcycle trip said, "God must have great plans for Wyoming, because he didn't put anything there!" Driving through it, it became boring. That was following I25, so other parts may be more interesting. (I've made the trip a few times.) Following interstate highways that way, it is over ten hours from the border to where I grew up (next to Whitefish). For Montana scenery, check out A River Runs Through It (1992) - IMDb

I'm from the Netherlands, our biggest "mountain" is 322 meters!
Everything is hilly compared to that
Speaking of which, don't you find mountains funny?
I find them hill areas!
Pretend I never said that...

Yep, I know it!
Great movie with a somewhat sad ending...
The Wyoming movie is probably The Hateful Eight.
It's the only movie on this list[^] that I've seen next to Brokeback Mountain, but that one was many years ago.

Maybe this? Funny to put a face to a song I'd heard several years ago. Great song, too!

Doesn't ring a bell.
Nice song though.
