Drinks to avoid - advice from the wise

[Platypus]

Anyone tried local (home made) Greek raki ?



I managed one and knew that a 2nd, generously offered, would cause a devastating reversal in my stomach.

The first think I got drunk on was vodka and oddly enough the last thing I got drunk on was vodka too
So it looks like I wasnt put off.

But Ouzo, pernod, Richard just the smell of any of those makes me feel icky.
I'll try most drinks - once. I seem to recall getting rather tired and emotional on sake once, I think it tasted like bovril

When I was 18 or 19 I got completely tulip faced on a bottle of vodka I liberated from a particularly crap party. Drank it over the course of a couple of hours walking home accross the moors in the early hours. Woke up the next afternoon with the worst hangover I've ever had before or since, and couldnt touch vodka again for almost 5 years afterwards without wanting to throw up.

Yellow sticky stuff in a tall thin bottle. Galliano I think it was. Not good, not good.

When it all came up the following morning you could have re-bottled it as it was.

Illuminous green puke...

Doesn't matter what I drink - the puke always ends up that colour

And don't forget the diced carrots!

Didn't the locals warn you or is that just in Yorkshire

Were you at the St Austel College end of year ball circa 1989?

Not that I can remember

Thats pretty much identicle to the drink a mate and myself created that night. A bright green pint that was lethal at 200 yards.

This particular concoction, as served by a premier student watering hole in the West Midlands, was termed "Damage". My stomach still turns when I see something resembling that particular shade of bright green.

Stick to the old saying "Never mix the grape and grain"

This was Cornwall, not traditional werewolf territory. You do have to look out for the ponies though. Vicious buggers given half a chance.
