Actually, prison wine ain't that bad. Here's a recipe. Certainly better than the weak-ass drinks they peddle at Marvin and it won't cost you the month's rent. And nothing washes down a can of potted meat product or pickled pork rinds quite like a tall, cool glass of prison toilet wine. Do you know why they call it a "prison cocktail?" Because after three of these, you can't feel the cock in your tail.

I love this article! You did a knock up bang out job! Hopefully you've delivered someone from the evils that are Cold Duck, Freixenet, and other things of that nature!

I only drink Veuve Cliquot, preferably Grand Dame. Merci.

Half-pint of Everclear fits perfectly in your back pocket. Pour over ice. Add some club soda. Drink. Now put on your panda or Eddie Eagle costume and you're set to go.

Sparkling wine hangover is not for sissies, so easy on the bubbly. It's hard to believe, but you're better off starting with a glass of bubbly, then Cuervo, then prison Franzia..

Cuervo is for sissies. Give me a bag of prison toilet wine and that'll be that.

Sparkling wine is for sissies. Give me a bottle of Jose Cuervo and that'll be that.

Aw guys, don't beat up on Alyse because I made a typo in her headline.

Love the sparking wines, Alyse. The 1500 watt Moen Backflush is a steal at $25.

There's a typo in the title... it should read "Sparkling Wine Picks for the Holidays" Or possibly "Sparking Blunts for the Holidays"

you forgot the best and one of the most affordable sparklings around...Saint-Meyland. You can find it at the Wine Specialist on M and New Hampshire and Ace Beverage next to Balduccis. They might have it other places, but that is where I've bought it in the past
