CONFESS!!!!! What alcohol won't you drink and WHY!! (happy hour edition!)

[LynneSin]

Come on, confess!!!! I know there is some type of alcohol out there that you had a really bad drinking episode with and now you won't touch it ever again.

For me: Southern Comfort!

Reason: I had a night of heaving drinking of SoCo in college. I went out to dinner with my best friend's family and had fish that night. Later that night we went to a party where I was drinking some sort of red punch and doing shots of SoCo. Then we went back to her room to watch video with friends where I continued to drink more shots of SoCo.

The next morning I woke up with red :puke: all over my bed spread.

If I smell SoCo I feel sick!!!

[funkybutt]

1. Jaagermeister

i hate that liquorish taste...it's disgusting!

[trotsky]

19. Another vote for Jaegermeister.

Ugh, I'd sooner drink Clorox.

[Emboldened Chimp]

34. Make that one more for Jaeger...

I've puked every time I've had it. Never again.

[HuckleB]

27. Yup, tastes like crap.

[Kellanved]

37. I second that

Jägermeister being big in the USA is about as understandable as Hasselhoff being big in Germany.

Good song by the "Toten Hosen" though ;-) .

[Taverner]

50. Truly evil stuff, Jager is

[TrogL]

2. gin, tequila, alcool, cheap scotch, light rum

bad experiences

[fudge stripe cookays]

3. Cheap beer

or red wine coolers.

Especially in large amounts. The same night. 'Nuff said.

[toddaa]

15. Psuedoalcohol

Anything that masks the fact that you're drinking alcohol. This includes all the phony alcopops, technocolor schnapps (as opposed to the good stuff), and anything with the word "LITE" in it. Give me a belt of barrel proof bourbon that drains my sinuses on the way down. That way I KNOW I'm drinking.

[Jokerman]

4. Johnny Walker

Played Nintendo for shots one afternoon and spent the next 24 hours sick as a dog, sleeping in the bathtub.

[tcfrogs]

5. Tequila straight up

I can handle it in a mixed drink, but it's the only thing that can make me throw up.

[bif]

18. I'll second that!

I did shots with a friend back in my college days. We ended up splitting a fifth and as if that wasn't enought, we bought a pint and split that as well. I puked out my bedroom window andit covered the side of my parent's house. I can't handle even the smell of the stuff now although I won't say no to a Marguerita.

[HuckleB]

28. Have you had 100 percent agave?

It's a very different drink than what most Americans call tequila. It's for sipping, and it tastes like a bloody mixed drink all by itself.

[Zero Division]

42. Tequila - quite possibly in the top 5 of nastiest tastes I've experienced

Right up there with good old liquid Sudafed.

You don't have to be intoxicated to :puke: from Tequila.

[GOPisEvil]

6. Everclear punch.

Let's just say there was an unfortunate vomiting incident involving me and a stadium cup full of everclear punch.

[Az]

7. Any

I am a mean drunk and alcoholism runs (gallops) in my family. No need to tempt fate any further.

[Momof1]

Rum -- from an incident with Barcardi's 151

I didn't think there was a difference. At the age of 19 a friend and I split the bottle. Needless to say, I remember everything that happened. But to this day (14 yrs later) I can not smell rum of any kind or it makes me gag.

[livetohike]

8. Gin - since my sister's wedding in 1982

She married into a large family and I just "had to have a drink with all the brothers and sisters".

Never, never again.

[arwalden]

9. Rubbing

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. Southern Comfort is a BRAND, though.

I mean, yes, it's a vile brand. But I don't really think of that as a type of alcohol. It belongs in the general subset of "liqueurs," some of which can be quite good (I am partial to pastis, myself).

I like beer, wine, whiskey, whisky, vodka, gin, tequila, sake, various liqueurs, various brandies, rum... there is really no booze I don't like.

[cheezus]

11. Jose Quervo

I thought I just didn't like tequilla, but it turns out that it's just the jose that's complete crap

[XNASA]

12. Ale.........makes me loopy in a hurry.....

Rum......alcohol distilled from sugarcane, just what I need.

Anything sweet, like most liquors, even wine.

I don't do shots, and I have certain rules for myself that I abide by, so getting toasted is not something that I do anymore. Therefore it is not a reason why I avoid certain spirits. It's mostly because I've found what I like and stick to it. Namely

Sam Adams, Guinness, high-end bourbon and tequila.

[Lisa0825]

13. Jaeger and Goldschlager

Jaeger tastes like medicine.

I had Goldschlager one night and got trashed. I heaved, which I hadn't done in the 10 years before that night. Then I was sick for three days afterwards, but I found out that some people from the same group got food poisoning (wedding reception buffet) that weekend. So, I think I had a horrendous combination of hangover and food poisoning. It was just AWFUL!!! Ever since then, just the thought of Goldschlager makes me woozy, because two shots were the last thing I had that night.

[LynneSin]

14. On the bright side: There's gold in them there puke

:eyes:

[Milspec]

49. Jaeger

Jaeger tastes like medicine

A German speaking friend translated the label on a jug of Jaeger. It says it is medicine!!!

[Dogmudgeon]

16. I don't drink. Not at all.

It's not a morality thing with me -- my liver doesn't process alcohol too well, at least as far as I've been told.

I don't get drunk, I get violently ill. After two such episodes in my early 20s, I was asked if I had either been taking Antabuse or had had a previous episode of mushroom-toxin poisoning (psilocybin doesn't count). No to both ... so they told me not to drink except for a literal sip on special occasions.

Twenty-four years without booze. I don't miss it a bit.

--bkl

[RiffRandell]

17. Jack Daniels

Puked on it once after having a horrible case of the spins after drinking it straight. The smell of it makes me still want to puke.

[Bat Boy]

47. Same here...

Jack and I had a horrible fight when I was in high school. Jack won, and we haven't spoken since.

I do count it as a learning experience. It was the first time I saw somebody projectile vomit. And I mean projectile. Horizontal.

At that age, it was the coolest thing I had ever seen.

[DinahMoeHum]

20. Scotch or rye whiskey. Just don't like the taste.

Don't like mass-produced domestic beers like Bud, Miller, Coors, etc.
Life's too short to drink beer that tastes like watered-down weasel piss.


:evilgrin:

[ihaveaquestion]

21. Hep-C, so no alcohol never again!

But when I could drink, I wouldn't touch Gin or American so-called beer (Bud, Miller, etc.)

[Beware the Beast Man]

22. Vodka

I misunderestimated the creeping power of a vodka buzz. It was summer 1989. I was fifteen. I drank half a bottle of cheap vodka mixed with Lemon Blend :puke: I don't think I've ever been that drunk in my life. I jumped off of a 1-story building and sprained every muscle in my left foot. To this day I can predict the weather judged on how sore my foot is. I came home and painted my bedroom a nice 70's style orange color. My mother grounded me for 2 weeks. No more vodka for me.

[catmandu57]

23. Boones Farm Apple Wine and Tequila

I don't drink now, but when I was 15 a friend and I got a case of Boones Farm after my fifth bottle I started puking it up and was violently sick, sometimes now even smelling apple juice starts me retching.
Later, at a party I found a bottle of Cuervo, unopened, I started chugging, and shortly after that the crap came up as fast as it went down.

[alfredo]

67. nasty stuff. Fiori Alpina will cause instantaneous barfing

which can come in handy if you need to make room for more beer. FA was yellow, and smelled like bananas. It burned like jet fuel.

[LowerManhattanite]

24. Anisette...

...a brutally potent liquer. I was stuck in a cabin in the Poconos during a snowstorm with someone I didn't know well at all. We were invited to a party that had been cancelled and didn't find out about it. She and I wound up there stuck at the place with nothing in the joint but a bottle of Anisette and a huge bag of Bachman Cheese Puffs. No cabs would come in the snowstorm and we spent the night there. Killing time, we drank the Anisette and within three hours debauchery ensued. Woke up to the sound of the woman retching in the sink and felt as if I'd had a cinderblock dropped on my forehead. Joined her in the bathroom as I "drove the porcelain bus" myself. Apologized to each other and went our separate ways at the East Stroudsburg bus terminal. Had the taste of licorice in my mouth for three days.

To this very day, just the smell of licorice makes me sick and reminds me of that less-than-cool night.

[ohiosmith]

25. This! Damn near killed me in high school. Drank a whole bottle.

[bigwillq]

26. Tequila

I drink it sometimes if it's in a shot I am having but I can't take straight shots of it. That one makes me a fucking crazy dude. I am usually a fun drunk, happy and always laughing but when I drink tequila. I get real pyscho and mean.

[johnnie]

29. I don't drink alcohol nearly as much as I did when I was younger

But I have yet to find any type I won't drink. When it comes to beers, I'm not big on the expensive ones. Any darks, lagers or ales just don't do it for me, but I will sip on them.

Sidenote...I actually did pick up a bottle of Absolut tonight. So if my posts start to get slurry later, you'll know why.

[Susang]

30. Ridiculously expensive wine

Especially when someone else is buying.

Also, very fine vodkas, tequila, liqueurs, with the occasional foray into bourbons, cognacs and armagnacs. I also enjoy the odd dry cider.

The many years I have spent in high end restaurant work have destroyed my palate for lesser quality spirits. I'd rather go without than drink cheap wine or booze.

[Susang]

57. I can't believe nobody figured out I was joking here

Since I pretty much can drink anything given the right circumstances. ;-)

[Solly Mack]

31. tequila here too

an evening of shots (bachelorette party)
a night of retching
a day of pain

shudder

[GoddessOfGuinness]

32. Yago Sangrilla and apricot brandy

neither separately nor together. I can't imagine what possessed me that evening, except perhaps my youth and inexperience.

[Mz Pip]

33. Flavored sweet drinks

like blackberry brandy, pop wines, coconut rum. Bleechhh.

This is stuff that hangovers are made of.

MzPip
:dem:

[trof]

35. Ouzo

One of the most skull-crushing, gut-wrenching, fever-and-chills, soul-searing hangovers I've ever had.
And I don't even like liquorish.
yecccchhhhh

[DoveTurnedHawk]

36. NO MILK DRINKS

White Russians taste great going down, but not so great coming back up.

:puke: (literally)

DTH

[mopinko]

53. beat me to that one

the first (and last) time i ever had them, they just went down like chocolate milk. mmmmmmm. had waaaaayyyy too many of them. made a FOOL out of myself.

[alfredo]

68. Scotch and milk will set you free.

[LiberalVoice]

38. Tequila!!!!

New Years I thought I would(Like everyone else) get absolutly smashed. I'm doing shots of vodka and chugging beers like a champ. Well, in my drunken stupor I decide it would be a good idea to pour myself a nice tall glass of Tequila. Thats right! A nice tall glass. Now I'm curious because til this point I had never tasted Tequila. So I take a tiny sip. The next hitng I know I am puking over the balcony into the front lawn. It wasn't so much the alcohol as it was the nasty ass taste.

:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

[LizW]

65. Tequila has a rubbery taste

like old tires have been soaking in it for a while. Nasty.

[Kellanved]

39. Anise bases spirits

I don't like the taste at all. Not to mention a few rather ugly hangovers...

Regardless if it's called Ricard, Pernod, Ouzo, Raki, generic Anisette, ...

[sangh0]

40. I don't drink any alcohol

I don't have a drinking problem, and never have, but many of my friends and relatives have, so I don't drink.

[JohnLocke]

64. Neither do I, sangha.

[TahitiNut]

69. Yup. Dessicates the brain.

Stopped 14 years ago and never regretted it once.

[geniph]

41. Anything super-sweet is asking for trouble

Most liqueurs, Southern Comfort, Irish Mist, Bailey's, alcopops like Mike's Hard Lemonade, and sweet wines - they're just asking for a ghastly hangover. The combination of the toxin (remember, alcohol's what you use in a lab to kill things), the sugar, and the dehydration that alcohol causes is the source of the mother of all headaches. Insta-:puke:

When I'm drinking hard stuff, I try to stick to stuff that doesn't have excessive sweetening (including mixers) and drink a lot of water. If I'm drinking wine, I stick to dry wines. I don't drink much beer - the stuff makes me bloat up like Suzie the Love Doll.

[IronLionZion]

43. Gin or Tequila

cause they both suck ass! I've gotten plenty sick with both.
:puke: absolutely gut-wrenching

I'd much rather have some whiskey or rum, or even beer

[AntiCoup2K4]

44. Haven't had Bacardi 151since 1988.

When your evening's activities consist of chasing dumbass jocks who threw a beer bottle at your car, putting your arms through walls, and trying to borrow your friend's 44 magnum in order to further pursue the dumbass jocks, that (and the resulting hangover) is a wakeup call. That shit made me into someone I didn't recognize (but would probably fit right in over at Freepville)

[Beaker]

45. i don't drink ANY alcohol.

i take upwards of 70mgs. of methadone daily, and they both metabolize in the liver, and not in a good way together.

HOWEVER-
back in the day of when i could drink, there were two times that i had to take respite from certain particular intoxicants.

1.MadDog 2020, grape- i put down two bottles of this shit when i was 17, and not totally sick as a dog falling down wasted drunk, and spent a day puking things back up. for over 2 years after that, even the smell of grape bubble gum would make me nauseous.

2.Manhattans- i had just started working at a bank, in the collections dept., on the monday after thanksgiving. the dept. christmas party was like two weeks later at a restaurant/bar a few miles from where i lived. I still didn't know most of the people, and as they all talked about work stuff, people, and things that had happened that i couldn't relate to- so i just kept drinking manhattans...at some point i ended up with my boss and a bank vp in my car, smoking a couple joints i had brought. it was a friday night, but the bank was open saturday morning, but only two peoplewould be working in our Dept...one was me, since i was the most junior guy, and the other was some older/middle age guy everyone just called 'killer'...I do not remember driving home from the party, but i did. I don't remember going to bed, but i did. i do remember waking up with my head/hair stuck to the pillow/quilt with vomit. lots and lots of crunchy, smelly, vomit.
i made it in by 8:30, barely, only to be greeted by 'killer', sitting at his desk, smoking a stinking cigar..."hey kid..." he says to me- "...do you know how many manhattans you had last night?"
"no...i kinda lost count"
"11... and you still made it in today- you're alright kid...you cost me twenty bucks by showing up, but you're alright..."

[testing123]

46. Pernod

I got so sick from it one time that I had it coming out of my nose when I was throwing it up.

:puke:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

48. I hate the taste of the entire whiskey family of drinks, as well as

tequila and gin. I can tolerate dark beers, but I prefer lighter ones.

My drinks of choice are red wine (especially pinot noir), vodka, and India Pale Ale, but on different days, of course!

I control my intake, because I learned during my student days that I get absolutely agonizing hangovers on very little booze.

[galadrium]

51. Anything cheap

I only drink top shelf liquor, or decent quality beers and wines. Anything else is not worth it to me.

[northofdenali]

52. Gin - smells like hair tonic!

And tastes oily.

Cheap vodka
Cheap whisky or scotch
Cheap wine

Sweet drinks

Jaeger is DANGEROUS! Went to a BBQ a few weeks back, and had never tried any. Tried 2 shots............wooooooooooooo.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

54. Scotch, whiskey, bourbon - I'll hurl with one drink

[Susang]

55. One drink?

You're a cheap date. ;-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

63. truly!

wanna take me out? :evilgrin:

(note to undisclosed individual...it was a joke! O8) )

[notadmblnd]

56. I will not drink gin

once when I was about 12 or 13, my family was havinf a party and the liquor was on the counter in the kitchen and the adults were in the living room. Well, me and my sisters decided to try something so we mixed gin and rootbeer together. It was the most discusting taste in the world. Tasted kinda like chewing on a pine needle.

[sus]

58. rubbing alcohol. i prefer witch hazel. with lime.

[Mojambo]

59. Yukon Jack

I can't believe I used to drink that crap.
The smell makes me retch these days.

I'm no fan of Tequila either.

[ironflange]

60. Retsina

I'm not too fond of that stuff, but I'll still drink it with Greek food. Actually, I can't think of any sort of booze that I won't drink. I hardly drink at all, however.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

61. Gin and Creme de Menthe

Gin's just too disgusting and Creme de Menthe tastes like mouthwash.

[furrylitldevil]

62. Conquistador Tequila

The cheapest, nastiest, don't-drink-it-unless-you-like-the-inside-look-of-a-toilet-bowl-the-next-morningest tequila there has ever been

[alfredo]

66. Coors

Fucking Fascist beer.

Zabib, a type of Ouzo with opium in it.

[realisticphish]

70. American Beer

Tastes like shit; especially since I'm in college, and we always get the cheapest beer, Natty Light, which is bat urine and alcohol

[WindRavenX]

71. That's what I was gonna say...

I cannot STAND beer (except Corona).
Especially Guniness, that stuff is like drinking a grainy smoothy...

[realisticphish]

72. yeah

heini's aren't bad, but i prefer a plain old Mike's Hard Lemonade, or Smirnoff. It tastes good, and it'll get you drunk

[T_i_B]

73. Bacardi Breezers and their ilke.

Why? Because they are shite. If you are going to drink an alcoholic drink then drink a proper one at the very least rather than heavily flavoured chemical gunk like Breezers.

[Seth Gecko]

74. water

the taste makes me sick.
