idk about taking shots of oil, but if you really feel the need, go for it..

with that being said, i use virgin coconut oil for all kinds of stuff...i add it to my green drink things, use it as a moisturizer, use it in my hair, use it for cooking

i guess the MCTs (apparently a big deal), lauric acid, etc are what make it good for all sorts of stuff (metabolized differently than most fats, serves as anti-fungal/anti-bacterial/anti-virus, anti-oxidant properties, etc)

why not just eat olives and coconut? im confused.

same reason people drink protein shakes instead of eating buckets of soybeans..

I was hammered once and a couple buddies handed me a shot of olive oil and cheered me on, totally fooled me into thinking it was a shot of like Goldschlager or something.

As soon as it hit my throat my eyes opened wide and I was furious cuz it didn't burn and I thought it was piss or something and they were like NONONO olive oil!

Was disgusting and would never do again, but a good story and good prank to do on an extra drunk friend :D
