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.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

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!

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 !

Drunk half a bottle in about half an hour, and thought there's nothing to this drinking lark at all.

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 :)

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.
