Have you had a bad experience that swore you off a certain drink/liquor forever? What was the drink? And better yet, what was the bad experience!
I will never touch another Rum Runner as long as I live. I chugged a giant mug of rum runners one time (after already drinking my weight in beer) and I puked red for 24 hours. Never never again.
Re: s/o what drink will you never drink again?
Arbor Mist.....
AND Bacardi Citron with Sprite.
I have only puked from drinking maybe three times, ever -- no matter how much I drink, I just don't puke. The first time I ever threw up from drinking, I was in college and we were mixing lemon vodka with lemonade, then we ran out of lemonade and mixed with Pepsi. I wasn't even drunk (in fact, someone had a breathalyzer for fun and I blew below legal limits), but the combination of lemon and pepsi made me so sick. To this day, I can't even look at a Pepsi Twist. ::::shudders::::
ETA: Yager, too. Not really a particular experience, I just think the stuff is nasty.
I can honestly say I have never thrown up from drinking. Actually I have never really had a hang over either.
What I don't like? Sambuca!
Shooting tequila in college and chasing with apples of all things (cheap college kids!) left me puking in the bathroom for hours.
And I have to try to stay away from vodka and red bull or I start trying to slide down stair railings or doing drunken sand angels...not good.
Mine is not alcohol. I've never actually puked from alcohol...
Mine is Ginger Ale, of all things! I was drinking it as part of a colon prep for abdominal surgery and puked my guts out. Never again.
I will not ever drink Goldschlager again!
I vaguely remember the night - a bar in New Brunswick - lots of shots - lots of dancing - lots of puking (for both me and my cousin). We had to take turns holding each other's hair.
Bad.
GoldSchlagger (sp?)
ugh, my stomach just flipped from thinking about it. split a bottle with a guy during the World Cup (when it was in DC many years ago).....did some things-- ok, many things I shouldn't have....and puked, blech.
LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
Life is beautiful!
Scotch. OMG, I can't even smell it!
I was on a work trip. I was 24 and in the first few months of a new job (the same place I work now), and I was traveling with a senior guy. We went to dinner with the CEO and general counsel of a company, and all the CEO wanted to talk about was how he just got back from Scotland and now knew everything about Scotch. So after dinner (where I had consumed a couple glasses of wine), we go to a bar that has (according to this guy) a great selection of scotch. It is at this point that my boss's wife calls about some emergency at home. He decides to go back to the hotel, but turns to me and says: it's very important that we have a good relationship with these guys, we want them to like us, you should stay out and drink with them.
So the CEO orders every. scotch. on. the. menu. And makes me taste them all - smell the peat in this one? taste the salty air? try this one again! now this one! can you tell the difference?
I was trying so hard to do a good job and make this weird old man like me and want to work with my company. So I tasted, I thought about it. I said things like - oh yeah, I can sense this was produced near the ocean! and mmm, this one is smoky!
Then I got back to my hotel. And I held it together until these two guys could see me anymore. And then I lost it. I walked down the hall to my room like a pinball, bouncing off the walls. And I puked my brains out.
And I will NEVER. EVER. GO. NEAR. SCOTCH. AGAIN.
EVER.
DH loves it. It drives me nuts!
(Sorry for the long story! Bless you if you read the whole thing!)
I've had plenty of bad experiences post drinking and lots of puking - but never anything that I blamed on a specific drink or was so bad that I'm never having that drink again. If I had to pick, I guess either vodka w/ koolaid (puked it up with some Ihop hashbrowns and they were purple!) or this super strong rum (is Bacardi 151 the one that's way higher proof than regular rum? That, but the crappy store brand in the plastic bottle). Both were bad news...but not so bad that I never had vodka or rum again.
Goldschlager, tequila, jack, sambuca - have had some questionable nights with them all, but never so bad to swear them off.
I don't have a drinking problem, I swear! I went to college in the middle of the great white north, there was nothing else to do. And then I worked a super easy job (meaning I could go out weeknights) with access to bars for the first time ever (back in civilization) the year after college.
I'm afraid I have to scoff at ALL of you.
:::SCOFF:::
lol. I'm Irish.
Great story! LMAO at walking down the hall like a pinball. I have so been there, and it's the worst.
I have several, but these were all a long time ago so don't judge me.
White russians: They tasted so good I drank way too many and ended up puking the rest of the night. Drinks mixed with milk are not good on the stomach, or on the way up. Yuck!
Kamikaze shots: DH & my brother came to visit me in college when we first started dating. My 5 roommates and I decided to have a party to welcome them and I drank so many shots before it even started that I had to retire to my room alone. I had to lay in bed, spinning, listening to everyone else have a good time. Sucky!
Buttery nipple shots: At my college graduation party someone gave me bottles of butterscotch schnapps and baileys as gifts. Once we polished off the kegs and all the liqour in my grandparents bar we moved on to the buttery nipples. Several people got sick (including me), and it was not pretty.
Ha! I loved drinking Zima when I was younger (ahem HS). Do they still make it? People used to make fun of me for drinking it, but it's a malt beverage and it's stronger than beer. No sissy drink there!
Chocolate cake shots! I would probably be ok if I only did one but I really like the way they taste and I've ended up doing too many
tequila-in college we decided it would be a good idea to suck a lemon and chug it out of the bottle-WTH? I felt sick for a week. I can't even smell the stuff today! Oh and my friends called me shan-tequila after that nice huh?
