White alcohol is the devil

SKYY citrus vodka and Sprite have joined forces to destroy my innards.
It tastes like, well, sprite, so you can drin nearly a gallon of it without getting sick, and well, make an ass of yourself all night long.

I stopped drinking over 12 hours agou and have slept a good 7 or so of those hours and i feel like a pile of poo.

So, what do you drink to much of and regret for a days?

Jack Daniels, every night for the past week.

Absinthe?

There's a horrendous drink called, I believe, Aftershock, which I wouldn't advise on account of my friend totally losing the plot once due to drinking copious quantities of it. Apparently it tastes of cinnamon which is all fine and dandy like your SKKY/Sprite combo, but you're therefore unaware of how alcoholic it is.

Personally I find Tequila has a fairly toxic affect.

Tia Maria is good like that, you can drink loads of it because it doesn't taste alcoholic at all. I can't stand after shock because of well, the after shock which makes the stuff come out of my nose...

Vodka. Generally everything else leaves me fairly bad, but vodka leaves me feeling poisoned. For some reason whenever I drink vodka I also come home and sleep really quickly, forgetting to drink lots of water. In the morning I wake up not very drunk or hungover but dehydrated and have to drink water. Then it gets worse as I get drunk again and then have to sober up concious. Personally I find that the worst thing in the world.

Brandy and whiskey are both on my not to be consumed anymore list. Drank a pint of the former in about an hour. Not fun.

Tequila is bad for me. The "Death Shandy" (lager and Smirnoff Ice) is also bad news. In general, these days, though, I get hangovers from anything.

I once drank aftershave. I don't recommend it.

01:46 / 14.04.03

...bet your breath smelled great, though.

Took three days and a couple of tubes of toothpaste to get rid of the taste.

my friend totally losing the plot

losing the plot, what a great phrase, it is now part of my vocab.

Tequila gives me the Fear, these days. And it'll be awhile before I indulge in J.Walker Black Label, after last night.

After a Wednesday/Thursday, which I am still recovering from I am going back to avoiding whiskey like, like well something you avoid. The sad thing is I am the one that talked people into the bloody whiskey shots anyways.

white drinks are alright, red wine is the worst.

I have to come down on tequila, too. I've mentioned this several times other places, but I don't believe here: for about a year after one particularly bad episode with tequila, I couldn't even eat the margarita Jelly Belly jelly beans. I swear; I could taste tequila flavor in them. About a year and a half ago, I finally had a shot of tequila again. It didn't taste bad at all, and I was very surprised. I also drink that classiest of drinks now, Long Island iced teas, which have tequila in them. Tequila still wins the prize, though.

Sambuca. That shit is evil.

I won't have anyone besmirch gin, though. Go to town on tequila if you must - note it only makes an appearance when someone utters the immortal invocation "let's get fucked up!" - but keep gin out of it. I drank two bottles of it this week, so I should know.

Long long ago in a galaxy far far away.......Portsmouth as a student, I got some of the Rum they sell to Tourists in the Dockyard. Bunged some of it in a coffee with sugar...When I regained conciousness I had a hell of a headache. Evidently I put too much in. I went from sober to unconsious with out the feeling drunk bit!

13:38 / 14.04.03

I don't drink. I can't - it makes me sick. Someone once said to me 'Well, that's the point', and although that may be true, it's not supposed to make you feel sick immediately after the first sip, as far as I am aware. So the most I've ever had was three whiskys in a row (and the resultant wanting to throw up for twenty minutes after each). Never been drunk, never been hung-over, most likely never will be. Oops - sorry!

i find it so interesting how different people have such different reactions to different kinds of alcohol. red wine gives my sister a cold sore, no lie. i know people who can drink vodka all night, but a few nips of whiskey and they're in trouble. personally i can't drink light-colored beer, i hate the taste and it angers my stomach.
i have read that dark colored beer and liquor is worse for you, hangover-wise; something about some toxic shit in the color. altho' gin is the worst, toxic-additive-wise. sorry, it just is.
after a long night of drinking, before you go to bed, guzzle as much water as you possibly can, maybe take some ibuprofen (advil, motrin). then you won't feel like such shit the next day.

19:20 / 14.04.03

another thing: super sugary drinks like the one described at the beginning of this thread also can pack a sugar hangover the next day, and if they're citrusy that can eat away yr stomach lining even worse than alcohol already does.

Absinth... never tried it myself, but a guy i used to know got wasted on it, and wondered what human flesh tastes like. mHe barbecued his own hand, didnt feel a thing, and ripped chucks from it and ate them. He said it tasted like beef.

Whisky and vodka.. lethal combo. Once drank copious amounts of bout within and half and hour and was violently sick, and had to perform in a gymnastics display the next day in front of a thousand people. I was on the very top of the pyramid, and man did i think i was gonna barf! I did, for about 12 hours solid, up to 5 minutes b4 the performance. Interesting. Wouldnt advise it.

*Flabbergasted.* This surely, SURELY must be an urban myth. Did you actually see his hand, Gingerbop?

Ooh, I can think of one fucking hideous alcoholic thing, though: Kronenbourg beer. Can't drink it. End up wanting to punch people, or have incredible fights (usually with other people tanked up on the shit, too) which do nobody any good. Much better since I moved to darker beer - no reaction at all.

Sambuca? The nits tits, nothing beats it. Won't hear a bad word spoken of it.

Pernod and lime? the worst thing that has ever passed my lips.. which is no small feat.

Absinthe saw me and a mate running up and down the lenght of Grafton St, making whooping noises and circling a bewildered (if remarkably patient) cop.

... but the bbq'ed hand thing does sound a tad extreme.

waxy dan

13:23 / 15.04.03

"He said it tasted like beef"

I would have guessed pork. It certainly smells like it.

long pig...

Think you lot might need this

gingerbop

13:38 / 15.04.03

Extreme: yes. Urban myth: no. Wasnt there myself but a couple of my best mates told me (separately) about it. They seemed more than mildly disturbed.

waxy dan

13:40 / 15.04.03

Did nobody.. well... suggest to him that it might be a bad idea to hold his hand over bunring embers for a while?

gingerbop

13:41 / 15.04.03

A few good friends have (separately) told me about it. So, extreme: definetely. Urban ledgend? I dont think so.

gingerbop

13:43 / 15.04.03

bloody hell it keeps postin everythin twice and telling me i havent done it. He started the BBQing of it when he was on his own, every1 arrived at the beach and pulled him away from it but hed alreday done it, and he just began to chew.

Quantum

14:38 / 15.04.03

I *like* absinthe, and I've never had the urge to BBQ myself. Still, I am so hungover today I feel like a pig shat in my head. Red wine bad bad bad...

only easy way we ever came up with to beat a red wine hangover came as an accident

my m8 david and i were drinking a gallon of the cheapest red wine (yes, an actual gallon, it was 10 bucks american) on earth and smoking cloves, once we were out of wine we were ready to crash, and then we found the 2 cans of guiness, well, i woke up on his couch, oddly clear headed while his sister made me breakfast, he came downstairs and poof, no hangovers...

red wine is fine, just drink a good thick beer before bed
