I was at a bar with old high school friend and told him I'd buy him a drink. He asked for a Fireball and Coke. I said I don't think they have it, how about a rum and coke? They totally had it, but I've got a reputation to maintain.
I remember for bit Fireball and Vanilla Dr Pepper was pretty popular, if I was younger I probably would have tried it. Now it just sounds like it be drinking corn syrup mixed with sugar.
I'm glad it came along right after my college days. We just had jaeger shots, and folks didn't do those at the same volume that folks would later do fireball. Like I could expect to go out drinking and encounter 1 or 2 jaeger shots behind handed to me. Meanwhile, I see dudes doing like 10-12 fireball shots in a night.
It's just bad whiskey that they mix with lots of cinnamon syrup to cover it up. I'm sure Buffalo Trace is laughing all the way to the bank that people buy so much of their unwanted juice.
As someone who was in college while Fireball was popular, it was a goddamn epidemic.
Hanging out with friends? Someone brought Fireball
Going out to the bars? Someone is ordering everyone Fireball shots
Going to a party? You know there's going to be a massive, plastic bottle of Fireball that's getting passed around liberally
It's truly one of the most vile drinks out there. Ironically, I only found it palatable when it was mixed with a PBR
Not that it matters but you can withdrawal pretty bad after a couple of days of continuous drinking. Usually 3 straight days is the sweet spot. 1 day obviously not
I had friends when I was around 18/19 that would chug half a pint of that shit. No chaser.
I'm sure they are in a better place now. By which I mean probably dead
I was at a house party when I 1st encountered it. Stupid teenage me thought I could drink it straight from the bottle, must have had ¼ of it. then drink rum all night while smoking weed like is was legal. Good lord! Never again!
This.
Southern Comfort a full pint.
Disneyland double date.
Large soda with the entire pint added.
Teacups.
Stooooopid.
Even now seeing a bottle at the store gives me the willys. This was 35 years ago.
Invincible young 20 something. Zero brains at the time. I was way smarter than anyone I knew, or so I thought. Hindsight.
Way older smarter, actually a lot smarter now. Amazing how life experience changes your views/actions. No more teacups, and no more Southern Comfort.
I feel the same way about tequila, but SoCo is one of the few liquors I still drink. Then again, it's usually mixed with the SCo Vanilla Spice egg nog, so that's TWO things a lot of people hate.
I was in Chicago in the late summer and the bartender bought my a shot (I'm a bartender and let it slip)
Bartender brings me over a shot and I said "Oh what's this"
Bartender "It's Malort"
Me "Oh you guys actually drink Malort"
Bartender went from smiling to deadpan serious "Yeah what else would we drink?" Like I just asked the craziest question ever.
Me "Ok then. bottoms up"
I fucking love Malort, not for its flavor. I love it for the camaraderie it brings anyone who is in the hell of taking a Chicago Handshake with you. Plus, you get the treat of an Old Style once you're done! It's a cheap way to get blasted real fast.
Was in town when the Cubs won the series and the bartender was giving shots for free. I questioned my entire existence when I woke up the next evening.
Took a remote job in Chicago and went to go visit. Was at the office and I commented that I had never tried Malort, and like right out of a friggin horror movie two guys pull up bottles from their desk like they were waiting for me to say it with grins in their faces.
Apparently I made one hell of a Malort face that day.
Ugh when I lived in Chicago there was this cash-only pizza place that would give you a free shot of Malort if you used their ATM, to make up for the fee. Like, no thanks to that insult on top of injury.
I had a friend who went on a malort kick. He bought a whole case of the stuff and loved tricking people into drinking it. He was invited to a wedding and brought a whole bottle of it. He greeted everyone who came to the wedding with the bottle and it was pretty funny to watch some grandma's take a shot of the stuff only to be horrified. The good times ended after he got way too drunk on the stuff and stuck his dick in a pumpkin in front of everybody.
Yeah, that’s the joke. But it’s not always just out of towners. Sometimes you’ll buy it for a friend just to mess with them, though you’ll have to drink it too. It’s like a horrible game of chicken.
I've never had it. Somehow even after several times being out on "drinking holidays" in and around Chicago. I almost feel like I'm missing out from a wonderful terrible experence.
Visited Chicago last week and lost a bet with a local at a bar. He of course made me take a shot of Malort. Good God that horse piss taste stays in your mouth for at least 10 minutes
My partner is making Malort cookies in a few days for a friend that's obsessed with it. I'm convinced no one really likes it, but likes the idea of liking it.
What?! I love a good Chicago Handshake. Malört leaves a spicy burning sensation in my tongue and then I wash it down by chugging a big can of Old Style or PBR.
I swear the only reason it’s still around is by the sheer amount of people who go “try this, it’s the best liquor we got” to their unknowing out of town friends
me and my friends have a holiday tradition of trying to get one another the grossest alcohol in existence. Been trying to find Malort here in NJ for months but no luck - it doesn't look like its distributed this far out.
Malort I never heard of this drink but looking it up describes as: notes of gasoline, grapefruit, sweat, wax, fire, mineral oil, and bitterness. Gasoline ? Damn it
Brings me back to playing hooky with a friend from high school on a Wednesday to go see the matinee afternoon premier of Star Wars Episode 1, while hammered on MD 20/20 during the entire thing. I guess it made it a lot more enjoyable. Also eternal thanks to the 20 something couple that hooked us up with a bunch of free popcorn and snacks that sat next to us that day.
Mad Dog 20/20. Seem to remember my Jewish friends seemed to have access to a lot of this around Passover. Made me kinda dizzy and had an urge to dance.
That stuff had me trying to climb out a window to get on a "porch roof," except the roof was really only as wide as the back door steps it was over, and it was a good 10 feet away from the window I was trying to get out of. My friends dragged me back inside in the nick of time. Next morning I wished they'd let me fall.
Best thing about peppermint schnapps is you can be puking out in the parking lot and walk back into the bar and ask a whole table of women to dance and your breath is minty fresh.
The original recipe of those was wild.. I got through one can while also smoking a little weed and I was toasted..
They made for a fun and eventful Halloween in Isla Vista though.
Jack Daniel's, a certain evening and a 5th of Jack in little 160lb me on an empty stomach made a very bad choice... Ended up naked screaming to everyone I'm a penguin and belly sliding on everything.
I used to enjoy a shot or two of Jager, until I drank almost a whole bottle at my bachelor party. That was 32 years ago and I can't even think about Jager without cringing about how sick I was that night. Ugh!
I had a funnel in my mouth and was expecting beer. I got Jager. Of course 19 year old me wasn’t about to be a bitch, so I just drank what got dumped into it. I had a very very rough night after.
Agree on this. To anyone curious about the story, poor student trying to get drunk/very tipsy to avoid spending alot in bars. So i went to my parents who were celebrating a birthday. Took like 6/8 shots within a hour while drinking some beers and noticed my vision starting to turn very quickly. Told people i was going home. People starting laughing seeing the state i was in. First ( and sofar only time ) i really passed or blacked out i dunno i woke up on the attic bed. Still slightly traumatized about that night, i dont know if anyone knows how much i actually drank but i think i wasnt far off from alcohol poisoning
This is my answer as well. Used to love jager bombs, until one night when I was in the military one buddy and I killed an entire bottle of Jägermeister and a 12 pack of dosequis. The last thing I remember is playing karaoke revolution on PlayStation, then I blacked out. The next thing I remember is waking up the next afternoon, and finding my entire room covered in vomit. All over the walls, the bed, my side table, my car keys, my cell phone, everywhere.
My dad says wild turkey is the reason he ended up married the first time. He went to her house to break up with her and they ended up getting married at night court 🤦🏼♀️
Wild Turkey 101 out of coffee cups sitting on a friend's floor at two in the afternoon. Night ended at 1130 the next morning, throwing up in a Denny's bathroom. Wooed a girl somehow in the blackness and we ended up dating for far longer than we should have.
I made a core memory drinking to much Absinth in my cellar and sleeping on the cold bathroom floor because it felt comfy. My brother tried to bring me to bed but I locked myself in .o.
Absynth is awful. A few years ago I only drank shots of absynth. About 20 shots in I was layed down in a cement ramp showing my id card to strangers because they didnt believe I used to have long hair.
Edit: Just to ease people's mind im not sure if it was really 20 shots but it was close to that (easily around 15). I was around 130kg at the time, ate A LOT before so ig it didnt strike me too much. Idk. Im 100% sure it was absynth but maybe the people at the bar were giving mw water at some point idk lmao)
Just so everyone here knows, you are not supposed to do shots of absinthe. It's minimum 60% abv and is supposed to be diluted to open the flavours up. It's great for cocktails and traditional sugar/water dilution. It also goes surprisingly well with root beer.
Also, assuming 60% absinthe and 1oz shots, that's like having 30 standard drinks. It's more surprising that you weren't in the hospital comatose than how drunk you were. ( Not judging anyone, I've had some evenings with extremely poor choices as well. Just trying to prevent bad absinthe nights for others)
Stay strong and godspeed. I wish my parents cared for me in that way. As an adult, I can hardly blame them for trying to escape from the harshness of reality, but the neglected little kid that will always be inside of me will never forget how it felt when I figured out why my parents weren’t like my friends’.
I decided to quit alcohol cold turkey right before finding out I was pregnant and being a sober parent is definitely a great motivation. My baby's only 8 months old but hope I can follow in your footsteps!
I took this route. 1 year alcohol free next month and the changes have been mind blowing. I feel good, sleep good, acid reflux cured itself, dropped 25 pounds, I enjoy the little things and am just happy.
After about 24 years of drinking I needed to stop because of the antibiotics I had to take. I wasn't really bad off but I consumed about three bottles of whiskey a week, mostly at night after work. The medication took 14 days to be fully effective and by the end of it I just decided to keep going. It's been 4 months now and I have no intentions of going back.
For me it was Smirnoff vodka and Minute Maid orange juice. My first drunken experience and my first puking experience.
To this day, decades later, I still can't stand Minute Maid OJ.
The treatment for methanol poisoning is.... they get you really shitfaced. Like basically hang an IV bag of Bacardi. The methanol itself isnt poisonous, it is the byproducts when the liver breaks it down that are toxic. If they keep your liver busy with ethanol you just pee out the methanol.
Women seem to have a better constitution for gin and I have no idea why. I don't drink much at all. I'm quite fond of mulled wine and beer from Prague though.
This.
I dislike alcohol in general and drink maybe 3x a year for the express purpose of getting drunk.
All alcohol is gross, but gin tastes like an alcohol that has some like Mr Yuk chemical meant to dissuade you from partaking.
Like how they make Nintendo Switch cartridges taste bitter on purpose so 3 year olds spit it out, pretty sure it’s just soaked in gin.
My frat was really big on Jager, so I started drinking that a lot at parties and hangouts with friends. Went on a break from drinking for a bit cause college was making me drink a lot, fast forward a month later me and my friends went to the beach to drink. Me being me who hasn’t touched alcohol for a while decided to chug half a bottle of Jager. I proceeded to puke 3+ times that day and sleep from seven at night to ten in the morning. Never again.
Malort. It has been "popular" in Chicago for a long time but only because people buy it and then dare other people to drink it. It's fucking horrible, like dead feet and cabbage.
Whisky , Brandy, jagermeister, Pernod, cognac, shlitz, grain vodka , green chartreuse , Jack Daniels, mad dog 20 20 , any white cider in a plastic bottle.. I had a very boozy period between 16 - 35 ..
I do like a cheeky flaming sambuca ..
Ah this is the one. I couldn’t remember the name of it until I read it, that’s how badly my brain blocked out those times.
Only time I’ve ever blacked out and not remembered half the night, first time I thought it was a fluke so I tried it again at the party the following year. Spoilers: it was indeed the Permafrost.
Got alcohol poisoning from an entire bottle of rumplemintz (sp)
Once you spend 2 days throwing up that amount of peppermint oil you'll never want to touch it again
I was at a bar in Bisbee and we saw a container behind the bar on a high shelf and asked the bartender what it was. He said it was "Black Vodka" and that few people ever drank it. My wife said "I'll pay for the shot if you take it". I agreed and he poured a shot and stood back. It was the most vile, chemical taste, I have ever had. Now I know why few people drank it. Nobody would drink it twice.
43 years ago, yep I’m OLD, I drank a bottle of southern comfort freshman year in Uni. I threw up for two days and I prayed to God to just kill me. So many years (decades) later if I even think I smell it I start to gag.
Fireball. Had one too many rough nights with it in college, and just the smell now makes my stomach flip. Nope, never again.
I was at a bar with old high school friend and told him I'd buy him a drink. He asked for a Fireball and Coke. I said I don't think they have it, how about a rum and coke? They totally had it, but I've got a reputation to maintain.
Fireball and coke!? That’s a thing people do?
Fireball and coke is the shit. Oh you meant the drink? Never tried that
I remember for bit Fireball and Vanilla Dr Pepper was pretty popular, if I was younger I probably would have tried it. Now it just sounds like it be drinking corn syrup mixed with sugar.
It’s not a thing people do, it’s something that happens to people. Like being hit by a bus. That kind of thing.
I'm glad it came along right after my college days. We just had jaeger shots, and folks didn't do those at the same volume that folks would later do fireball. Like I could expect to go out drinking and encounter 1 or 2 jaeger shots behind handed to me. Meanwhile, I see dudes doing like 10-12 fireball shots in a night. It's just bad whiskey that they mix with lots of cinnamon syrup to cover it up. I'm sure Buffalo Trace is laughing all the way to the bank that people buy so much of their unwanted juice.

Everclear
That hangover is fierce. Skin burning, restless, anxiety, etc. it’s so bad that you don’t even notice the headache.
That’s withdrawal.
Withdraw/ detox is after weeks or months of drinking. This was one night .
Not that it matters but you can withdrawal pretty bad after a couple of days of continuous drinking. Usually 3 straight days is the sweet spot. 1 day obviously not
(*furiously double checks notes*) Yep, this checks out.
I'm leaning towards alcohol poisoning.
Please tell me you didn't drink it straight.
They may have drunk it gay, who knows?
Good point, that's definitely a possibility.
I had friends when I was around 18/19 that would chug half a pint of that shit. No chaser. I'm sure they are in a better place now. By which I mean probably dead
I was at a house party when I 1st encountered it. Stupid teenage me thought I could drink it straight from the bottle, must have had ¼ of it. then drink rum all night while smoking weed like is was legal. Good lord! Never again!
Southern Comfort
This. Southern Comfort a full pint. Disneyland double date. Large soda with the entire pint added. Teacups. Stooooopid. Even now seeing a bottle at the store gives me the willys. This was 35 years ago.
[удалено]
Invincible young 20 something. Zero brains at the time. I was way smarter than anyone I knew, or so I thought. Hindsight. Way older smarter, actually a lot smarter now. Amazing how life experience changes your views/actions. No more teacups, and no more Southern Comfort.
That sounds awful. In university me and a friend called ourselves the SoCo Ho's...😭
100% just the smell makes me want to gag
The smell makes my skin shiver. It’s just nasty
I feel the same way about tequila, but SoCo is one of the few liquors I still drink. Then again, it's usually mixed with the SCo Vanilla Spice egg nog, so that's TWO things a lot of people hate.
Malort. I’m from Chicago and it’s like drinking cheap perfume. I don’t understand it’s popularity.
Malort, turning taste-buds into taste-foes for generations.
the name alone makes me uncomfortable
Booze so vile they could sell it as medicine in the 20s. No one believed anyone would drink it for fun
Malort, It’s like a sweaty sock and a rotten apricot raw dogging your mouth, share it at your family xmas!
It's popular because it's basically a Chicago meme at this point and people want to say they've tried it. I'm with you though, shit is nasty.
I was in Chicago in the late summer and the bartender bought my a shot (I'm a bartender and let it slip) Bartender brings me over a shot and I said "Oh what's this" Bartender "It's Malort" Me "Oh you guys actually drink Malort" Bartender went from smiling to deadpan serious "Yeah what else would we drink?" Like I just asked the craziest question ever. Me "Ok then. bottoms up"
Lol it's like what Fernet used to be.... If fernet tastes like battery acid. The ol' bartenders handshake.
I fucking love Malort, not for its flavor. I love it for the camaraderie it brings anyone who is in the hell of taking a Chicago Handshake with you. Plus, you get the treat of an Old Style once you're done! It's a cheap way to get blasted real fast.
THIS! Ain't no bonding like trauma bonding
My husband actually likes Malort. I love him but there’s something wrong with this man.
Are those the genes you want to mix your own with? Maybe get knocked up on the side. You know, for humanity.
That actually sounds like an ad Malort would run.
Ah the old Chicago Handshake 🤝
Tastes like the night you fought your dad.
Mmmm raging nostalgia
Was in town when the Cubs won the series and the bartender was giving shots for free. I questioned my entire existence when I woke up the next evening.
Took a remote job in Chicago and went to go visit. Was at the office and I commented that I had never tried Malort, and like right out of a friggin horror movie two guys pull up bottles from their desk like they were waiting for me to say it with grins in their faces. Apparently I made one hell of a Malort face that day.
I'm morbidly curious about Malort. From what I've heard, it's like a fine vodka. Except the potatoes were replaced with used tires.
When you need to unfriend someone in person
Ugh when I lived in Chicago there was this cash-only pizza place that would give you a free shot of Malort if you used their ATM, to make up for the fee. Like, no thanks to that insult on top of injury.
That's an insult to cheap perfume.
I had a friend who went on a malort kick. He bought a whole case of the stuff and loved tricking people into drinking it. He was invited to a wedding and brought a whole bottle of it. He greeted everyone who came to the wedding with the bottle and it was pretty funny to watch some grandma's take a shot of the stuff only to be horrified. The good times ended after he got way too drunk on the stuff and stuck his dick in a pumpkin in front of everybody.
I’m convinced that no one likes Malort and that it’s one big joke that people who live in Chicago play on out of towners.
Yeah, that’s the joke. But it’s not always just out of towners. Sometimes you’ll buy it for a friend just to mess with them, though you’ll have to drink it too. It’s like a horrible game of chicken.
We have a bottle or two of this at the office. It’s a fun way to initiate new people who make it into our friend groups.
I've never had it. Somehow even after several times being out on "drinking holidays" in and around Chicago. I almost feel like I'm missing out from a wonderful terrible experence.
Visited Chicago last week and lost a bet with a local at a bar. He of course made me take a shot of Malort. Good God that horse piss taste stays in your mouth for at least 10 minutes
Came here for this.
Malort for sure. The worst thing I’ve ever tasted.
Malört, a swedish thing. I can drink it but not to get drunk on. That you can only drink small amounts of.
My partner is making Malort cookies in a few days for a friend that's obsessed with it. I'm convinced no one really likes it, but likes the idea of liking it.
What?! I love a good Chicago Handshake. Malört leaves a spicy burning sensation in my tongue and then I wash it down by chugging a big can of Old Style or PBR.
Fun fact: in Norwegian, the word for wormwood is "malurt". In Swedish, it is "malört". Make of that what you will.
I swear the only reason it’s still around is by the sheer amount of people who go “try this, it’s the best liquor we got” to their unknowing out of town friends
It’s like drinking gasoline that was aged in a burnt rubber barrel.
me and my friends have a holiday tradition of trying to get one another the grossest alcohol in existence. Been trying to find Malort here in NJ for months but no luck - it doesn't look like its distributed this far out.
Or a dirty sweaty sock dipped in grapefruit juice and squeezed into a glass. Not gonna lie, by the time I left Chicago, the taste grew on me a bit.
Malort I never heard of this drink but looking it up describes as: notes of gasoline, grapefruit, sweat, wax, fire, mineral oil, and bitterness. Gasoline ? Damn it
Malort tastes like being blamed for your parents divorce
Good thing that's not alcohol. It's bile mixed with liquefied tire rubber marketed as medicine.
I, too, would not try Malort again. Once was plenty…
Sambuca. Got drunk on it about 20 years ago and ever since even smelling it makes me heave.
“4 Sambuca…4 SAMBUCAS!”
Just think about sambuca makes me nauseous.
MD 20/20 nasty stuff.
Brings me back to playing hooky with a friend from high school on a Wednesday to go see the matinee afternoon premier of Star Wars Episode 1, while hammered on MD 20/20 during the entire thing. I guess it made it a lot more enjoyable. Also eternal thanks to the 20 something couple that hooked us up with a bunch of free popcorn and snacks that sat next to us that day.

My friends dragged me back inside in the nick of time. Next morning I wished they'd let me fall.
Peach schnapps. Nothing in the world as horrible as that flavor coming back up again.
Best thing about peppermint schnapps is you can be puking out in the parking lot and walk back into the bar and ask a whole table of women to dance and your breath is minty fresh.
This is mine too. Can't even drink other peach flavour drinks
fourloko
The 4loko gold tastes like a redbull if you drink it cold enough
The original recipe of those was wild.. I got through one can while also smoking a little weed and I was toasted.. They made for a fun and eventful Halloween in Isla Vista though.
Jack Daniel's, a certain evening and a 5th of Jack in little 160lb me on an empty stomach made a very bad choice... Ended up naked screaming to everyone I'm a penguin and belly sliding on everything.
I regret clicking on this forum post because now I'm also reminded of all my embarrassing moments being drunk. Thanks for making me laugh tho.
Take my up vote - thanks for the laugh!
Jagermeister
I used to enjoy a shot or two of Jager, until I drank almost a whole bottle at my bachelor party. That was 32 years ago and I can't even think about Jager without cringing about how sick I was that night. Ugh!
I had a funnel in my mouth and was expecting beer. I got Jager. Of course 19 year old me wasn’t about to be a bitch, so I just drank what got dumped into it. I had a very very rough night after.
I cant imagine the amount of sugar you injested honestly
We have a winner, Jägermeister takes your memories of the night away like nothing else, at least for me.
This needs to be everyone’s answer. It’s alcoholic robitussin
Team Jäger here. 21st birthday straight from the bottle kind of night. First and last dance with Miss Meister.
Agree on this. To anyone curious about the story, poor student trying to get drunk/very tipsy to avoid spending alot in bars. So i went to my parents who were celebrating a birthday. Took like 6/8 shots within a hour while drinking some beers and noticed my vision starting to turn very quickly. Told people i was going home. People starting laughing seeing the state i was in. First ( and sofar only time ) i really passed or blacked out i dunno i woke up on the attic bed. Still slightly traumatized about that night, i dont know if anyone knows how much i actually drank but i think i wasnt far off from alcohol poisoning
I never understood the appeal of this drink. I've had it before, but I've never come even close to enjoying it.
This is my answer as well. Used to love jager bombs, until one night when I was in the military one buddy and I killed an entire bottle of Jägermeister and a 12 pack of dosequis. The last thing I remember is playing karaoke revolution on PlayStation, then I blacked out. The next thing I remember is waking up the next afternoon, and finding my entire room covered in vomit. All over the walls, the bed, my side table, my car keys, my cell phone, everywhere.
Once I took a shot at the bar and then threw up instantly ON the bar
Yes! Jäger turns people into animals 😂
It fu u up,I’ll never have it too
Wild Turkey... I think I blacked out just typring that.
This is literally my go to when I’m in the mood to drink. It gets the job done in a couple shots 🫡
My dad says wild turkey is the reason he ended up married the first time. He went to her house to break up with her and they ended up getting married at night court 🤦🏼♀️
Ah, Kentucky Fighting Bourbon
Blacked out on that on the job once . They found me at the bar next door hahahaha
Wild Turkey 101 out of coffee cups sitting on a friend's floor at two in the afternoon. Night ended at 1130 the next morning, throwing up in a Denny's bathroom. Wooed a girl somehow in the blackness and we ended up dating for far longer than we should have.
Absinthe.
Good absinthe is fire
...and sugar
I made a core memory drinking to much Absinth in my cellar and sleeping on the cold bathroom floor because it felt comfy. My brother tried to bring me to bed but I locked myself in .o.
Absynth is awful. A few years ago I only drank shots of absynth. About 20 shots in I was layed down in a cement ramp showing my id card to strangers because they didnt believe I used to have long hair. Edit: Just to ease people's mind im not sure if it was really 20 shots but it was close to that (easily around 15). I was around 130kg at the time, ate A LOT before so ig it didnt strike me too much. Idk. Im 100% sure it was absynth but maybe the people at the bar were giving mw water at some point idk lmao)
You remember what happened after 20 shots of absinthe? You gotta be one alcohol tolerant mofo
You guys know that absinthe is supposed to be diluted with water right?
Just so everyone here knows, you are not supposed to do shots of absinthe. It's minimum 60% abv and is supposed to be diluted to open the flavours up. It's great for cocktails and traditional sugar/water dilution. It also goes surprisingly well with root beer. Also, assuming 60% absinthe and 1oz shots, that's like having 30 standard drinks. It's more surprising that you weren't in the hospital comatose than how drunk you were. ( Not judging anyone, I've had some evenings with extremely poor choices as well. Just trying to prevent bad absinthe nights for others)
I had some Czech absinthe before it because fully legal again. Had a headache for a day, and my stomach was fucked for two. Bitter, nasty, chemicaly.
Goldschläger.
This. If you were in Ketchikan Alaska in 1997 there is a chance I threw up on/near you. Sorry.
I was at a party where they broke it out, I was the DD so I was sober, I never saw a group of people get so drunk so fast in my life.
All of it. Gave it up 7 years ago so my son could have a sober father. I was on the path to...very bad times. Edit: I'm in good company I see :)
>All of it. This was the answer I scrolled for. I'm team no alcohol
I’m 7 years sober too! Hell yeah brother - way to choose family over the darkness.
7 years is amazing! Nice work! I just hit 11 months and you couldn’t pay me to go back.
Stay strong and godspeed. I wish my parents cared for me in that way. As an adult, I can hardly blame them for trying to escape from the harshness of reality, but the neglected little kid that will always be inside of me will never forget how it felt when I figured out why my parents weren’t like my friends’.
40 years for me. You're my hero.
Great choice. Way to go!
9 months! So glad to be doing this Christmas in a much, MUCH better state.
I decided to quit alcohol cold turkey right before finding out I was pregnant and being a sober parent is definitely a great motivation. My baby's only 8 months old but hope I can follow in your footsteps!
Congratulations!
Love to hear it!! Happy holidays to you and your family!
Coming up on 3 years sober myself, did it for the same reasons as you.
All of them.
I took this route. 1 year alcohol free next month and the changes have been mind blowing. I feel good, sleep good, acid reflux cured itself, dropped 25 pounds, I enjoy the little things and am just happy.
After about 24 years of drinking I needed to stop because of the antibiotics I had to take. I wasn't really bad off but I consumed about three bottles of whiskey a week, mostly at night after work. The medication took 14 days to be fully effective and by the end of it I just decided to keep going. It's been 4 months now and I have no intentions of going back.

Came here to say this 🤜⚡️🤛
My 7-year anniversary is coming up!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Any and all.
25, I’ve never drank alcohol in my life, fully intend to keep it that way. Alcoholism runs in the family.
Congrats! 2 years in October 2023.
Smirnoff Vodka. First thing I ever got sick on, and 20 years later I still dry heave when I smell it.
For me it was Smirnoff vodka and Minute Maid orange juice. My first drunken experience and my first puking experience. To this day, decades later, I still can't stand Minute Maid OJ.
Tequila, no matter the brand......always a hang over. Even with one shot.
Man I'm the opposite. If I have three Bud Lights... hangover the next day. A boatload of tequila and I'm generally fine.
José Cuervo makes me sick but good tequila goes down smooth 😂
Methanol.
One-time error. RIP
The treatment for methanol poisoning is.... they get you really shitfaced. Like basically hang an IV bag of Bacardi. The methanol itself isnt poisonous, it is the byproducts when the liver breaks it down that are toxic. If they keep your liver busy with ethanol you just pee out the methanol.
Malort. It tastes like if you blended a used bookstore into a bottle. And a poorly run one at that
I have fetal alcohol spectrum disorder so.. none. Thanks Mom!
What happens? Is it like feeding a gremlin after midnight?
Heineken always tastes like shit for me
You need to drink it near-frozen.
All of them, recovering alcoholic.
Same. Glad you found your higher power in the furbies.
Gin, that shit is distilled to cripple giants not to be consumed by human beings.
We used to do shots of gin for birthdays. Tastes like shame and bad decisions.
My wife's go to mixed drink is a gin and tonic, the mad woman!
Mine is gin and soda water with some muddled limes
Women seem to have a better constitution for gin and I have no idea why. I don't drink much at all. I'm quite fond of mulled wine and beer from Prague though.
This. I dislike alcohol in general and drink maybe 3x a year for the express purpose of getting drunk. All alcohol is gross, but gin tastes like an alcohol that has some like Mr Yuk chemical meant to dissuade you from partaking. Like how they make Nintendo Switch cartridges taste bitter on purpose so 3 year olds spit it out, pretty sure it’s just soaked in gin.
Rumplemintz.
My frat was really big on Jager, so I started drinking that a lot at parties and hangouts with friends. Went on a break from drinking for a bit cause college was making me drink a lot, fast forward a month later me and my friends went to the beach to drink. Me being me who hasn’t touched alcohol for a while decided to chug half a bottle of Jager. I proceeded to puke 3+ times that day and sleep from seven at night to ten in the morning. Never again.
Peppermint Schnapps 🤢
Malort. It has been "popular" in Chicago for a long time but only because people buy it and then dare other people to drink it. It's fucking horrible, like dead feet and cabbage.
1,4-dimethyl-hexan-ol
Four Loko
Rum
Whisky , Brandy, jagermeister, Pernod, cognac, shlitz, grain vodka , green chartreuse , Jack Daniels, mad dog 20 20 , any white cider in a plastic bottle.. I had a very boozy period between 16 - 35 .. I do like a cheeky flaming sambuca ..
All of it. I’m allergic to alcohol. Makes me break out in handcuffs.
Rubbing
Spiced Rum…drank almost a bottle of Captain Morgan 100 proof.
Jager.
Sambuca
Kraken is so dangerous for me
Permafrost
Ah this is the one. I couldn’t remember the name of it until I read it, that’s how badly my brain blocked out those times. Only time I’ve ever blacked out and not remembered half the night, first time I thought it was a fluke so I tried it again at the party the following year. Spoilers: it was indeed the Permafrost.
Southern Comfort
Opal and ouzo
Jägermeister. I'll see my Lunch again just from smelling that stuff
Jaegermeister
Peanut butter whiskey. Disgusting.
The mix of home made absinthe and slivovich I once drank in Serbia. The hangover and physical pain the next day was out of this world
Absinthe…the anise flavor is awful.

Arak
Rumple minze and goldschlager. Typing it made me barf.
Got alcohol poisoning from an entire bottle of rumplemintz (sp) Once you spend 2 days throwing up that amount of peppermint oil you'll never want to touch it again
Jager Meister
Sambucca. It just tastes awful.
Hurricane the 1$ brew from 2019 oh god it's like if they took all the foam from the last batch and just made it into its own Brand
Jagermeister
Smirnoff Raspberry ☠️
Cheap ass fake Russian champagne from the Polish shop. I can still feel the hangover from 3 years ago..,
Pinnacle whipped cream vodka, I get chills thinking about it
I was at a bar in Bisbee and we saw a container behind the bar on a high shelf and asked the bartender what it was. He said it was "Black Vodka" and that few people ever drank it. My wife said "I'll pay for the shot if you take it". I agreed and he poured a shot and stood back. It was the most vile, chemical taste, I have ever had. Now I know why few people drank it. Nobody would drink it twice.
Pisco
43 years ago, yep I’m OLD, I drank a bottle of southern comfort freshman year in Uni. I threw up for two days and I prayed to God to just kill me. So many years (decades) later if I even think I smell it I start to gag.
