What's cool?

When I were a lad, we used to ply the girlies with a couple of 'leg openers' , which was half a pint of cider with a cherry B mixed in
(we are talking '71 here)

When they vomit it looks like they've haemorrhaged...

Exactly, save time and drink brandy!

Youtha Joyce was doing a litre a day for ten years.

When I was at Uni many years ago we'd get a pint of Stella, drink half and then top up with red label Thunderbird Wine. It tasted gopping but it did the trick.

Red label T-Bird...now there was a one-way ticket to the cells

They used to have a second label on those bottles that looked like a cops badge. Obviously, to "Earn Your Badge" you had to neck the whole bottle. On reflection, this was not such a good thing

Another one was 75% lab ethanol mixed with Irn Bru - breakfast of champions

Can't remember the name of the drink, it was something like 'Green ????'. Consisted of a bottle of Special Brew mixed with a bottle of Barley wine and then a Blue Curacao would be added to make it green. Absolutely horrible mix.

The rugby and rowing types at Uni used to think it hilarious to watch someone neck one of these and then spew it all straight back up again (preferably back into the same glass so it could be drunk again).

and me, although I've heard it said brandy has more effect on your heart than other drinks with the same alcohol content.

Strange that, and it's also true that gin dries your throat and makes your voice sound husky the next morning.

Never tried absinthe though - they say the full-strength stuff (if you can still buy it) has seriously weird effects such as hallucinations.

Youtha Joyce was doing a litre a day for ten years.

So did Field Marshall von Rundstedt (sp?) for years, and a box of cigars a day, and he lived to be 78.

Diesel - snakebite and dash of blackcurrant.

Diesel over here is Export (bit like lager but stronger) and coke. Then there's Krefelder (or Muddy Water) which is Alt Bier and coke (gets its name because there is a horrible scum on top.) Some people drink Weizenbier with banana juice although I know one bloke who drinks it with milk because of a stomach complaint. Try Apfelwein and Jägermeister (you can substitue Cider instead!)

I seem to remember folk in Northern Spain drinking "calle mucho" which was red wine and coke mixed together. Makes a €1 bottle of wine very drinkable...
