What kind of liquor can you no longer drink?

[jumptheshadow]

Me:

Southern Comfort: Back when I was a kid, we could buy alcohol when we were 18. So two days after my 18th birthday, I purchased a half pint of Southern Comfort. I wanted to know how it felt to be drunk, so I chugged it down in about 10 minutes. As a result, I retched out the window, directly towards Mom, who was talking over the fence with a neighbor.

To this day, even the smell of Southern Comfort makes my queasy. I also hear a lot about Southern Comfort at family reunions.

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Rum...

Never. Again. Ever.

White Wine too.

Otherwise, I'm cool, although I don't have a taste for brown liquors. :)

[Inchworm]

2. Skittles

lol.. I had a bad experience eating Skittles at muster tryin to get the liqor off my breath.

I'll be expecting a whippin, but it's true.

:rofl:

[Twillig]

60. Taste the rainbow!

now that sounds like a potential Technicolor yawn.

[AlCzervik]

3. Peppermint schnapps and Tequila.

a really, really bad experience with both, thankfully it was on 2 different occasions.

[Javaman]

66. Peppermind schnapps for me as well...

I can't even look or think about it without getting sick.

really really really bad memory.

[graywarrior]

4. None of it

or all of it. Whichever.

[flvegan]

5. Cheap beer.

I've got nothing against it, nor the folks that like it. BUT, the Busch league shit is no longer welcome in the ole tummy.

I'm no beer elitist, either. I like my micros, but the middle of the price scale brews are fine as well.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. 151-proof rum. I know it would make me hurl.

In fact, it made me hurl 40 years ago when I mixed it with cherry Kool-Aid.

[jumptheshadow]

9. That sweet stuff never mixes

Gin got knocked off the list back at the University of Missouri when a bunch of us geniuses decided to eat brownies and drink gin until 3 in the morning.

It's a pretty toxic combination, probably somewhat akin to rum and cherry kool-aid.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Bleh. I feel your pain. Brownies and gin... ick.

That rum/Kool-Aid combo had me callin' Ralph on the big white phone for hours and hours... It was in 1968 and I remember it as if it were yesterday. Not gonna do that again!

[lizerdbits]

40. I wouldn't even try it now

After college graduation 3 of us went to New Orleans for a little fun. We could drink it then, but I wouldn't dare touch it now. It was OK with soda. Some time in my mid 20's a switch flipped and I just couldn't drink and stay up late without feeling crappy. Plus the novelty wears off a couple years after being old enough to buy it. :D

[Pierre.Suave]

74. So thats how they got you to drink the kool-aid...

I knew there had to be something...

:P

[Haole Girl]

7. Vodka

And, Baileys has become a close 2nd.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. I *can* drink any of it, I guess

But I choose to drink none.

[Throd]

11. Southern Comfort here too

I drank almost an entire fifth and was sick for three days. That was in 1988. To this day even thinking about the smell of that vile crap makes me want to vomit.

[Burma Jones]

12. Southern Comfort and Canadian Club

They both had something to do with concussions and emergency room visits back in the day.......

[DarkTirade]

13. Albertsons brand rum.

No, wait, I couldn't drink that the first time I tried it either... :P

Good gods that was nasty stuff. We even tried to make daquiris with it to cover up the nasty aftertaste. Didn't work.

[JVS]

14. Ouzo.

[DarkTirade]

20. I've heard some interesting things about that one.

I'm tempted to try it. :)

[JVS]

39. Moderation is the key. Do NOT get hammered on Ouzo. Especially not if you're a teenager

[MilesColtrane]

15. Cuervo...

...almost got me arrested in Arkansas.

Jagermeister...

...almost killed me in Germany, ala Jimi Hendrix.

And, I've had fights with Jack, and Tanqueray, but we made up.

[BulletproofLandshark]

16. Goldschlager

Downing a 750 ml bottle of the stuff on New Year's a few years back made me stay away from anything remotely cinnamon-flavored for about a week.

[nomorenomore08]

26. Yeah, that stuff is deceptive because it's so smooth, but then it's like 90 proof.

I puked pretty violently last New Year's Eve, after drinking Goldschlager, Jack Daniel's, and champagne over the course of the night.

[JTG of the PRB]

17. Raspberry vodka.

My old roommate and a friend of ours from high school decided to enjoy some raspberry vodka one night at the apartment. We were initially mixing it with Sprite, which made it taste really, really good. Then, once we were a little drunk, we started doing straight shots of it. Baaaad idea.

Fast forward to about 12:30 am, and we're all lying on the floor in the living room, staring at the ceiling. I finally decided it was time for bed, tried to stand up, and promptly fell down. So, I crawled to my bedroom, climbed into bed, then promptly shoved myself into the far corner and clung to my bed for dear life - the room was spinning so fast at that moment, I was actually afraid I was going to fly off and hit the ceiling.

So the next morning, I woke up with the worst hangover of my life, and staggered into the kitchen to get some breakfast... And then I nearly puked, because in our drunkitude we had not only spilled some of the raspberry vodka on the counter in the kitchen, but we had also left the bottle open all night. The entire place stunk of the stuff.

Needless to say, that was a pretty unpleasant moment. These days, I can't even LOOK at raspberry vodka without feeling a little queasy.

[maradonapassion]

18. Red wine

One christmas being 11, I snuck out to my mom's refrigerator and stole some red wine, drinking it like juice. Needless to say, I threw up the dinner and lunch from that day.

[grannylib]

19. tequila, whiskey, sloe gin...ish.

[mitchum]

21. My neighbor's

[hobbit709]

22. All of it-diabetes sux!

Although on my birthday I have a margarita.

[nomorenomore08]

23. I second the SoCo. Not because of a particular bad experience, but just because it's so disgusting.

Also, not saying I wouldn't drink them again, but I've had bad times with Irish carbombs (and I don't mean the IRA :rimshot: ). St. Patrick's Day '06 ended with a long cycle of puking and lying down and getting up to puke again, and then a year later I fell face-first on the sidewalk and broke two teeth. Multiple carbombs were involved in both incidents.

[KitchenWitch]

24. I can no longer drink any liquor

[DBoon]

25. LSD

Gave that up along time ago

[TheMightyFavog]

27. Real absinthe.

I tried it at a party over the weekend, and the dreams I had after I went to bed were, well too fucked up for me to ever try that shit again.

[harmonicon]

31. no way....

what makes it "real" absinthe? Did it actually have wormwood in it? I've had loads of things like Pernod, and I love it, but I didn't think you could get stuff with wormwood in it anywhere these days.

[LostinVA]

41. It can be ordered online

It's legal in most of Europe, and they'll ship it here.

[SteppingRazor]

54. Actually, it's legal in the U.S., and has been since the start of the year.

[harmonicon]

57. I'm skeptical...

... I've seen lots of things advertised as "absinthe", but they usually look like bad booze coloured with some green stuff. Maybe I'll give it a shot all the same.

[LostinVA]

69. She says to stay away from the Czech stuff and don't expect to hallucinate or anything

Basically, she says it makes you drunk, but you're clear-headed at the same time. Definitely a different buzz than regular liquor.

[fizzgig]

28. jager

we had a nasty breakup about three years ago...i still can't smell the stuff without wanting to :puke:

[newmajority]

29. Vodka

Last time I drank vodka it was about an hour in front of the porcelain god and then three days to recover. Haven't had as much as one screwdriver since.

[Lil Missy]

30. I tried Jack Daniels whiskey 30 years ago. Got sicker than shit and never touched whiskey again n/t

[FloridaJudy]

32. Any.

I've already drunk my liquor quota for this incarnation.

But I've never been able to drink gin, even back in my salad days. It made me break out in hives and wheeze.

[BlueIris]

33. Can't drink any of it. The taste and smell of alcohol really bug me. But back in the day, it was

whiskey. EW. EW. EWWWWWWWWWWW. The only alcohol that ever made me so sick I vomited. A lot. For 12 hours straight. Horrifying stuff.

[libnnc]

34. Gin. Do not want!!!111

:puke:

[Duer 157099]

35. The expensive kind n/t

[Monk06]

36. Southern Comfort boiler makers. I still have that hangover and it was 1976.

[nomorenomore08]

37. Ever had a "dirty bird"? It's a shot of Wild Turkey in a glass of Pabst.

I wouldn't drink more than one or two of those at a time, myself.

[Monk06]

38. No but I will do an honorary hurl having been informed that such a thing

has a name.

BTW when I did the SC boilermaker my buddy
told me to do a shot of SC and shot beer. By
that I thought he meant equal amounts.

So I hit a glass of beer and a beer glass
of SC. That was the end of that evening.

[1gobluedem]

42. Vodka

It makes me very sick. I pretty much don't drink hard liquor at all anymore and haven't for 20 years.

[DS1]

43. Anything mixed with mountain dew or any other high sugar/caffiene drinks

I don't know how people do it with those redbull and vodka mixes. I've never even tried. Or wanted to, for that matter.

[cyberswede]

44. Sloe gin

I drank a whole bottle in high school once - the red vomit was the worst!
As my brother-in-law says about sloe gin, "that's an ugly sick."

[YankeyMCC]

45. Jack Daniels

But not all whiskey just that brand.

And Taquilla, pretty much all of it, not that there's anything wrong with the good quality stuff I'm just too scared of it now :)

[SacredCow]

46. The cheap kind, unfortunately....

gone are the days where I could happily drink store brand liquor. I guess I've become a liquor snob.

[MorningGlow]

47. Wine, all of a sudden

No dramatic run-in with the stuff to turn me off of it or anything. I was never a big wine drinker, but I usually had a glass or two with dinner once a week, twice if I was stressed. ;) But lately (over the past couple of months or so), completely out of the blue, I've found I don't like the taste anymore, not even something light, like chardonnay. In fact, I had half a glass last night and it was like somebody put roadkill under my tongue--had this HORRIBLE taste in my mouth, and woke up with it this morning as well. Blech.
:puke:

I may be officially off wine for good. :wtf:

[Deep13]

48. That's the stuff.

I've never chugged it, though.

[mikeytherat]

49. Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum - can't even smell it!

Really bad experience many moons ago (can you tell this was the mid-80s):

Captain Morgan's + Bartles & James Wine Coolers = bad. Went to see "Pretty in Pink" with Mrs. Rat (pre- "Mrs." era) and this is all I remember about that flick - John Cryer was in it and his character was "Duckie." That's it.

mikey_the_rat

[noonwitch]

50. Rum

I got really sick from Bacardi 151, and can no longer drink rum unless it is in daquiri or pina colada form.

I've never gotten ill from it, but I can't drink sloe gin anymore, either. Mainly it's because my tastes have changed and it is too sweet.

[BarenakedLady]

51. Peach schnapps

or anything with peach flavoring in it.

:puke:

[bikebloke]

52. Either vodka or schnapps

I've never been a big drinker, especially spirits. But once and a while I would take a shot socially. Then a few of us went down to the Sinai. Everyone coming back was getting sick. Probably from the bread sold by the Bedouin kids. They were literally snotty faced and being kids sometimes played with the bread when they were supposed to be flogging it.

Anyway, I had some vodka or schnapps just before the bug hit me. I was doubly ill. Now I can't even stand the aroma of it.

[SteppingRazor]

53. Anything syrupy: Southern Comfort, Jagermeister, Rumplemintz, Goldschlager, etc. n/t

[sammythecat]

55. Southern Comfort here too.

Any of those sweet syrupy liquors. I get bad vibes from flavored brandys or schnapps too.

[ceile]

56. Southern Comfort and Tequila n/t

[jumptheshadow]

59. Tequila is my third banned liquor

Tequila made my gag list during my early New York period. There was a restaurant named Caramba! that sold insidious margaritas. They snuck up on you, then decked you, then did a samba in your intestines.

I am happy to say, that since my late 20s, I almost never drink any more. When I do, I reserve it for special occasions. I guzzled Tsingtao and soju boilermakers at my boss' 40th birthday party, for example. (Tempered with well-timed ingestions of cold water, this combo produced a pleasant and mildly hallucenogenic buzz.)

I downed six water glasses of Guinness and a shot of Jameson at my cousin's funeral two weeks ago, but then, even my abstemious octogenarian aunt consumed five glasses of red wine. Everybody said my cousin would have wanted it that way.

[lost-in-nj]

58. Blackberry Brandy

I threw up for a week one night


:puke: :puke:


lost

[Iggo]

61. Well, technically, all of it...

...for about eleven and a half years now.

But back when I was still drinking, I had already been "done" with tequila for about fifteen years. When I was around 20 yrs old, I went heads with an older gentleman at some new year's eve party...double shots, back and forth. I remember drinking 6 of 'em. My friend swears I drank 12 (I doubt it). I didn't remember anything past 6pm. I woke up at home the next day, and wished I hadn't. But from then on, zero tequila. Like the original poster, I can't even handle the smell.

[Enrique]

62. the smell of bourbon now smells like hangover mucous to me

[KamaAina]

63. Old New Orleans Rum

http://www.neworleansrum.com/index.php?section=1

'cause you can't get it out here. :(

If you are in the region, though, do check it out. Crazy good and not really all that expensive!

[kwassa]

64. I guess I'll never give Southern Comfort another try, after reading these comments.

Tried it once 30 years ago, and thought it was crap then.

[WinkyDink]

65. Sangria. It and I hit the curb decades ago in Spain, and I never looked back.

[applegrove]

67. None. I'm an alcoholic.

[IronLionZion]

68. 40 oz malt liquor

Oh man, the things you do when you're a poor college student. :puke:

[Throd]

70. I have money, yet I still drink 40's of Crazy Eight

Also King Cobra, Steel Reserve 211 or Mickey's. I prefer to think I'm "keepin' it real", but more likely it is a case of arrested development.

[jumptheshadow]

72. Is that the malt liquor equivalent of Boone's Farm apple wine?

We used to drink that in college, too.

[hyphenate]

71. Most of it

Let me clarify--I don't drink anymore. I had a Grasshopper on my birthday and I gave thanks that it had very little alcohol in it. It's about all I can do. I go for virgin drinks now, and don't apologize for it. :)

[TK421]

73. Rum...for some reason it's the only liquor that makes me extremely silly

and I don't need any help with that

[Pierre.Suave]

75. Cheap beer and cheap liquor...

Cant stand either. I try to stay away from Tequila too, that shit does awful things to me.

[leeroysphitz]

76. Original Havana Club Rum. n/t

[tigereye]

77. all of em

I'm strictly a wine and beer person now.

[femmocrat]

78. All of it.

:cry:

[Release The Hounds]

79. Soju

It doesn't taste as well the next morning.

[Mojambo]

80. I used to drink Yukon Jack

I smelled a bit of it a few months back and literally almost threw up.
