:D  That’s the national drink of Iceland and if you eat shark, you have to drink Brennivin with it.  Fun Fact; Brennivin means “Burning Wine”</p> <p>Thanks for asking and watching, bottoms up!</p>http://deaddrunkbuttrying.com/post/2940994266http://deaddrunkbuttrying.com/post/2940994266Wed, 26 Jan 2011 15:17:04 +0000<p>Reyka Vodka is fantastic!  It’s almost the only vodka we drink here in Iceland, even though it’s a bit expensive.  You can drink it dry without any problems, it tastes like water :)</p> <p>Thanks for asking and watching, bottoms up!</p>http://deaddrunkbuttrying.com/post/2940982506http://deaddrunkbuttrying.com/post/2940982506Wed, 26 Jan 2011 15:15:45 +0000<p>We just follow the same law as stated in each country we film in.  We’ll probably be filming in San Francisco before this summer, so there it would be 21 years old.  So for Iceland, it’s 20 years old.</p> <p>If you want to compete, just send us an e-mail to deaddrunk [at] buttrying [dot] com and we’ll let you know if there’s a spot for you to showcase your skills!
