A type of small alcoholic beverage, taken as a shot with a 'back' to chase it, named for a conspiracy theory which posits that the U.S. government invented it as part of a health trend to get people to buy more vodka and pay more excise tax on liquors. The shot is usually taken as follows: 1-2 ounces of Vodka (usually Tito's gluten free) taken as a shooter, followed by a chaser mixing olive oil, turmeric, and Bragg's liquid amino. The sourness of the amino sometimes causes people to gag after the vodka, but if one can keep it down, the olive oil is supposed to help coat the stomach against the acidity and soak up some of the alcohol, preventing hangovers.
I went to Erewhon this morning with Tabither, and afterwards we went out on the Strip and took Government Shots all night- I mean, I've got a shoot tomorrow. I've gotta be fresh in the mornings, but I've gotta party, too. The Government is underrated.
