I just can not drink this stuff.

[Uncle-A]

I was looking at a photo that someone had posted here that had a bottle Gin in the photo and my stomach just cringed. Because years ago I had a very bad experience with Gin, so I was wondering.

Is there a booze you just can not drink for one reason or another and if you feel like sharing why?

Goldschläger. Didn't get sick off it but drank a good bit of it one night at a club. Then came home after midnight and ran into our neighbor who was rollerblading. Well joining him seemed like a great idea. At one point i fell and apparently landed on my tail bone but didn't feel it till the next day. OMG the pain. I had a job interview and of course my car was a stick shift and having to move my legs to press the pedals had me in tears by the time i got there. Fortunately i got the job but haven't had Goldschläger since that night.

Guinness.

I bolted down a 6 pack of the tall cans in about an hour when I was 17. It took about 6 hours before it stopped coming back up.

37 years later I'm still avoiding the stuff.

Tequila. Ahhhhhrrrrggggg!
It was my bachelor party, just a few decades ago. We were in a cabin belonging to a friend of a friend in SLT. Lots of fresh snow that long weekend. I didn't get to ski much of it. We did various fun things, like going to one of the casinos and sitting at the slots and everyone getting "free" drinks and all of them going to me; and playing drinking games in the cabin (of which form I have no recollection) where somehow I always lost. Remind me again...why bachelor party? So the two immutable facts I learned? Tequila is the Devil's piss; and never drink liquor that comes in a plastic bottle.

Gallileo white Zinfandel in the gallon bottle. That was an ugly night.

Any type of whiskey, bourbon etc. Had a bad experience with Old Grand Dad when I was about 17...can;t even stand the smell of it (45 years later...LOL). My drink of choice these days is Patron silver with a slice of orange.

The local Austrian schnapps.... Great for desinfecting open wounds though

Reminds me of some of the Geneipi we had in France.

Southern Comfort, Jagr....can't stand the smell of either..

Cheap wine - high school. It's pretty amazing how long you can keep puking after you thought you were done.

I'm not that crazy about PBR or other cheap beers either.

Collectively as a staff? Nope.

"Alabama Slammers"

So, "this one night in college", a bunch of us went out and I had myself 5 or 6 of these fine concoctions. Not sure what exactly was in it since there are several variations, but they sure went down easy.

Woke up the next morning to a rip-roaring hangover, but hadn't puked yet, so I considered the whole situation a great success and headed off to work.

As luck would have it, we were starting to get in some of our ski merchandise for the upcoming winter so my excitement started to overshadow the freight train rolling through my head. One of my "bros" who was out the night before showed up and we unpacked skis and boots in the back room and tried to remember some of the fuzzier details from the previous night.
Then I started to peel off the shrink wrap from a really nice pair of wooden Smith pole racks.

Wooden racks with a lot of varnish on them.

Varnish that smelled just like....an Alabama Slammer. I had to run out the back door to to alley and dry-heaved for about 10 minutes.

Those things off-gassed in the shop for the next 2 weeks and every time I caught a whiff my stomach would twinge.

Haha that is exactly the reaction I have to Jack and Coke - it is just exactly the smell of hide glue.

 

[Frankly]

My first drunkeness was with Southern Comfort and I could never stand to even smell it for years afterward but I can confirm that after 41 years I can down it without involuntarily heaving. Barely.

But why would you want to drink the crap we drank as kids? Jack Daniels, Boones Farm, Molson, LaBatts, Bud, Coors, and Miller beer, Michelob was the "good stuff" lol. YUCK

"If I took all the money I spent on inebriates back in the day and stuck it in a mutual fund we'd have a million from that alone...." Not that I was a drunk but it did consume all the pocket change.

Southern Comfort did do a nice rebranding campaign, the fat guy on the beach who didn't give a @#$%.

Peppermint Schnapps. Couldn't even chew peppermint gum for a while after that night.

You know, I had one when I may have been underage..ahem..and I remember thinking to myself, who the hell would drink this crap!!! Now it's my go-to!!!!

Margaritas

A good friend was having his 21st birthday party at a bar in Seattle and everyone was drinking margaritas. Being only 21 myself I had never had one before. I began to drink the thing but wasn't paying attention to it. Very soon I began to feel sick (still on my 1st drink) and it kept getting worse until I discovered that there was a huge, dissolving lump of salt in the bottom of the glass. I was drinking alcoholic brine. I couldn't drink anything else and I had to go home. Somehow I kept from puking, but I don't know how. I can't stand margaritas to this day, even writing this makes me feel a little ill, and this took place in 1975!

Also Mad Dog, just because it is.
