    Don't think I ever got sick on anything despite copious boozing when I was younger. Y'all are lightweights.
    Me, me, me...

      Ouzo for me. Had a bottle in about 10 min after a few beers and ended up in hospital.

        A mix of ouzo and retsina waiting for an evening ferry on a Greek island.

        The ferry was late so we kept drinking.

        The only time I've been seasick.

        Have done both drinks many years later though, but with plenty of food to accompany them.

        Metaxa was good stuff.

          Ah yes, ouzo, the devil's own evil urine. Also drank that with some mates and crashed out on the top deck of a ferry.

          Waking up the next morning, the hangover was excruciatingly painful, made worse by the fact we were so dehydrated and there was no bottled water available.
          If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

              Oh God Yes! Now its coming back... A Sixth Form party many, many years ago, Soterakis (or Zoko) the greek lad who's father ran a restaurant brought a few bottles of Retsina - which was pretty exotic compared to the Party 7s and Party 4's everyone else always brought.

              Later in the evening we obviously got into them......... BIG MISTAKE!!

              Projectile vomit with a pine-cone after taste causing projectile vomit!!!
