An elderly friend died last year and among other things I inherited a couple of bottles of Creme de Menthe. For anyone unfamiliar, it's bright green and very minty -- 60 proof / 30% alcohol by volume. I'm not a regular drinker, and I am one of those weirdos that believes in waste-not, want-not, so I felt obligated to find a way to (slowly) consume it. My eventual choice was to pour a shot or two over a bowl of chocolate ice cream -- not bad, compare to mint chocolate-chip ice cream, with a little kick.
Any other suggestions?

This is the problem. Drop the ice cream and crack a beer or two -- you deserve it.

Do you honestly think adding a hint of mint to piss will make the piss more palatable?

Beer is actually a practical water purification method.
Or it was, when it wasn't an anachronism.
Towns had breweries to produce a beverage that wasn't unsafe to drink.

One of those infinite shows on Ancient Egypt they run on cable said beer was the pharaoh's soldiers' daily ration of food + drink (they fermented it by throwing chunks of sourdough bread into the barrel).

Yep. Until about roman times, pretty much all bread that wasn't flat was sourdough, and beer used the same yeasts. Eventually, breweries got big enough that byproducts of alcohol production (the "barm") was used (for people who could afford it at least) until yeasts started to be grown industrially (mid-1800s?).

I have no idea, I don't drink urine although some bars serve lagers that are close enough. But hey, if you're a piss drinker; Try it and get back to us!

How much creme de menthe to get an effect? Experiments required. For science!

In the US there's a major holiday coming up this week that revolves around eating and drinking too much. Perhaps Soylentils can experiment with different concepts and re-convene to compare notes after the holiday and horrific hangovers have passed.
