    We Filtered Cheap Alcohol Through a Brita Filter (And This Happened!)

    Send us Fan Mail This week in the Legendary JNC Lounge, the crew dives headfirst into one of the internet’s wildest drink hacks—can a simple Brita filter actually make cheap liquor taste better? Brad Brock and the JNC Destruction Crew put the viral theory to the test, running everything from bottom-shelf vodka to questionable strawberry moonshine through a water filter to see if it smooths out the burn—or ruins it entirely. Along the way, the episode blends hilarious reactions, unexpected results, and a surprisingly insightful breakdown of what’s really happening inside that filter. Plus, the gang keeps the energy high with games, entertainment headlines, and a thoughtful midweek motivation that turns cocktail experimentation into a life lesson. Does the hack actually work? And more importantly… should anyone be doing this? You’ll want to hear this one for yourself. LINKS JNC Official Support us on Patreon
