Drinks to avoid - advice from the wise

[Scary]

*peers*

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

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

My friends and I invented "Browno". A pint glass with one third red Vermouth, one third orange juice and one third vodka.

We are within days of Xmas and then the New Year celebrations. And between us we must know every drink to avoid. And after a bad night on the pop, one tries to forget.

But try to remember for the benefit of those with their booze-ups tomorrow or on "Black Friday" (18th) that might be about to make the mistakes you have already made.

So, what have been the drinks that made you really bad? I mean really, really bad.

What would you advise the rest of the world to avoid?

(With stories would be good. So we can at you. )

one word: ouzo

(to be more precise, four words "ouzo - entire bottle, neat" )

I pretty much downed a bottle in a bet. Haven't been able to stomach aniseed type drinks ever since and can't stand fennel.

Good to see you last night, good thing neither of us had any of these

Don't you mean orange juice, in a champagne glass?

Abysnthe.

End of.

I like getting drunk. I've done lots of embarrasing things when I'm drunk. I'm ok with that. But every single time Ive had absynthe (3) I've done something silly, including nearly getting killed and keeling over at a party ontop of an antique coffee table and obliterating it (5 grands worth, happily he was a mate so scammed it on insurance).

It's evil.

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

Ditto with retsina at a dodgy Greek island cafe waiting for an overnight ferry. I haven't touched the stuff since.
