What's your nemesis drink?

[Last Hussar]

What did you get so drunk on that you haven't been able to touch since?

Mine is boubon/American whiskey. In 1988 a friend and I drank a bottle of Jim Bean in under 20 minutes.  Since then it tastes like potato skins.

[Ben Waterhouse]

Warm Malibu and Bailey... Don't ask...

[fsn]

Navy Rum.

Bought a half bottle with my first pay packet.

When I was young it was Newcastle Brown.

Now I am T-Total.

Shots are what normally wrecks me - doesn't really matter of what!

Black Russians were what me and my then girlfriend drank very frequently at university - and after drinking them extensively at a ball, I haven't drunk them since. Wasn't that they made me sick, but just had so many of them over the night (and morning) that I haven't fancied them since (at least 30 years ago!)

Vodka after the orange juice contained other drinks that made me sooooo ill it was untrue. I haven't been able to look at it since!

Pernod, horribly drunk first night at uni 

[Ithoriel]

There are drinks I don't like the taste of, Pernod being one, but nothing I overindulged in and can't face as a result. I'd love to say I never got that drunk but truthfully I think I'm just too dumb to be put off by the experience.

I can't think of any that made me so drunk I can't face them anymore, or that I find completely unpalatable, though Amoretto comes pretty close.   My wife did get disgracefully drunk once, and very ill, on red wine while playing Mahjong one Sunday afternoon in Hong Kong, 40 years ago now.  Although she maintains that it was a dodgy Tortilla chip she hasn't drunk alcohol since, or eaten Tortilla chips.  On my desert island though I'd need an endless supply of Speyside single malt and I'll exchange the Holy Bible and the works of Shakespeare for Plymouth Gin and good tonic, not that low calorie rubbish.

It was probably the seven of circles in the mah jong set that affected her. Notoriously toxic tile.

Vodka at 17....far too much

[Techno 3]

Vodka !

Drunk half a bottle in about half an hour, and thought there's nothing to this drinking lark at all.
How do people get so smashed ?

Then the room jumped at me.....and I fell off a chair.

I was really ill for three days.

[sultanbev]

Alcohol in general. Haven't touched the stuff in at least 8 years, maybe longer.
My book and wargames figure collection is so much bigger as a result

[FierceKitty]

I have about five shots of liqueurs a year. Nothing like a disliked and drunken father to teach one moderation in drinking.

Not drunk but ill.  First time at a party* in the USA I looked for something light to drink and settled on Budweiser**, which everyone agreed was a light, easy to drink beer.  After two bottles of this soda-pop beer my stomach was revolting and I felt very ill; I have avoided it ever since and have no idea why it is (or was) such a popular beer in America.


* Fourth of July; I had arrived that week (on business).
** I can recommend the Czech Budweiser, a very different and most pleasant beer that I enjoyed when visiting Prague.

Seconded.  I went to a daytime party out of town and can remember being the only one on the stuff then I woke up in bed in my digs and was not very well at all for three days. Initial attempts to rehydrate just got me drunk again.

Pretty much teetotal these days except for occasions like birthdays, Christmas, arrival of pendraken parcels...

I was really ill for three days.

Aged around 17 I took a bottle of vodka to a party and, around finishing time, it was still unopened. So, to ensure I "got my moneys worth", I filled a tumbler and drank it down in one...
Major mistake. I started to feel unwell only a matter of seconds later. I quickly went outside to the top of the steep drive (where the host of the party had parked his VW Beetle facing up the drive). I stumbled on to the bonnet of the car and then started to vomit... Pretty much "pure vodka" I suspect. Of course, the VWBeetle has a rounded bonnet, so the vodka/vomit mix merely spewed onto the car bonnet and then ran down, onto my pukeing body...
I had 3 solid days of "hangover" and it was over a week before I started to feel back to normal.
Never again 🤮🤢
These days I barely drink - two or three pints of lager a year, if that. Rather than waste £££ on alcohol or drugs if invest it wisely in little toy soldiers, books, magazines and comics.
Cheers,
Geoff

Grappa.

I was living in Germany at the time, working at a University in a department with lots of other non-German Scientists, so we'd all go out en masse after work. One time, a newly arrived Italian colleague discovered that the owner of the Italian restaurant in town was from the next valley over in the Tyrol, and we ended up with a bottle of his family's own Grappa on the table, of which I had about half, then staggered home. Spent the next day oozing alcohol from every pore, and the smell still makes me a bit queasy.

Been a long while, but Sloe Gin. Which, among other things, looks rather alarming when vomited up.
