Friday OT #1 - Never Again

[Angie]

@jc4cy helped me out on this one! Thanks for the great idea!

What are some boozes you refuse to touch, and why?

For example - I am pretty short, and not a real big person OR heavy drinker. I was at a Super Bowl party and was drinking out of spite for blah blah blah reasons. A guy there who was probably 6'3", 350 and regularly got black-out drunk pulled out a bottle of Jim Beam Black and started gargling it. I decided that I'd go toe-to-toe with him, until it ended really poorly with Mom's spaghetti on my sweater in front of everyone. Since that day, bourbon on anything (even cooked in) makes me gag.

What are yours?

Tequila

Because: College

 

[Cyclonepride]

First drinking experience was with red wine and it took years to even taste it without wanting to hurl. I don't drink anything at all now though (stomach issues).

 

[3GenClone]

Peppermint Schnapps - also college

I also cannot drink Gatorade anymore, because that was my go-to "hangover cure" in college. It's like a pavlovian-response if I even smell it that my stomach just twists into knots.

Tried drinking straight vodka and gin one night. Didn’t drink either one of those for years.

 

[cyclones500]

Gin. Tastes like cleaning fluid. (At least how I imagine cleaning fluid to taste).

 

[oldman]

Used to be Southern Comfort, but I'm over that now. If it gets set in front of me, I'll throw it back.

Fireball

Reasons

 

[ISUCubswin]

Fireball. Friend bought a handle of it one Friday and bet $5 I couldn't finish it during the weekend. I didn't open it Friday because $5 isn't worth it. Bet me $20 Saturday I couldn't finish it Saturday and Sunday.

I won $20 but was pretty sick and MIA for a few days after

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Too much puking and sleeping under a coffee table. Never again!

 

[CtownCyclone]

Jaeger Bombs.

Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.

 

[Cyowan008]

Peppermint Schnapps. Drank a bottle and then some while camped out for the KU game. The next morning was running to the porta potts the whole time waiting in line. Leveled off with some rum to ease the pain. Still have not touched it since and don't plan on it anytime soon.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Hot Damn. College. It burns both directions.

I still stay away from cinnamon flavored candy and gum.

 

[ianoconnor]

Another vote for Peppermint Schnapps

I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH MAD DOG 20/20 AND I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE WHY!

I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH MAD DOG 20/20 AND I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE WHY!

I know far too many who have been bitten by the Mad Dog, which is why I stayed away from it. That dog has more bite than bark.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I also don't recommend the combination of Purple Passion, Orange wine cooler, Peach schnapps and Yukon Jack whisky. Drank that on a road trip. The details are a bit fuzzy, but I remember our trip out. Not much of our trip back. I remember being back in town. I remember puking in the back of my friend's Nova and my buddy laughing his butt off and yelling "I smell Peach Schnapps!". Also vaguely remember trying to convince my parents that I hadn't been drinking when they walked me up to the door with puke all the way down my leather jacket.

 

[cowgirl836]

Fireball.

Ten High. First or second weekend at college, I got blackout drunk on that. Attended but have no recollection of Little River Band, Head East, and Foreigner at Hilton, got sick that night, and was hungover for two days. I like whiskey, but if I even smelled Ten High, I think I'd puke.

Something I learned recently, the "MD" in "MD 20/20" stands for "Mogen David".
