Southern Comfort, Strawberry Mad Dog and Coors….bad experiences with all of them.

eponymoushipster's avatar

Tequila, PBR, Hypnotiq, midori (any “fruity” liquour), Jager, any beer with the following words: coors, bud, light, miller, corona.

Allie's avatar

No more blow job shots!

Bailey’s + Kahlua + whipped cream = not Allie’s friend! Just the thought of Bailey’s or Kahlua doesn’t appeal to me anymore. At all.

Last New Year’s was badbadbadbadbadbad.

Long Island Iced Tea I learned the hard way: there isn’t any tea in it

aprilsimnel's avatar

NO cheap pisswater: No Old Style, no PBR, no Milwaukee’s Best, no Fosters, no Bud, no Coors, no, no, no!

NO EVERCLEAR. The Big Pissed Passout, Facedown in the Flower Bed Incident of 1992. Is all I’m saying. Mainly because I don’t remember how I got there after a couple of shots of Everclear.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@aprilsimnel everclear mess you up!

KrystaElyse's avatar

cement mixer shots, natural ice or any cheap beer like that, tequiza, zima, tequila, peach shnapps, sambuca… I know there’s more…

jonsblond's avatar

I can only drink beer. Anything else will make me puke.

aprilsimnel's avatar

@eponymoushipster – Ya got that right! I had the dry heaves for almost 2 days. ::shudders::

ptarnbsn's avatar

@Allie I’ll have to go make my husband one right now! We have homemade Bailey’s and homemade Kahlua….will have to find a substitute for the whipped cream. Ummmm…maybe he can top it off! LOL

peedub's avatar

Peppermint Shnapps. Gin makes me k-razy but I’d still drink it.

I don’t think I need to mention shit like Night Train or box wine.

Oh yes, 211 Steel Reserve. That shit is awful.

Bluefreedom's avatar

There is no way that I will ever drink Absinthe.

jonsblond's avatar

@aprilsimnel I’m dizzy just thinking about my Everclear days!

ptarnbsn's avatar

No sake for me! Bad experience…had to sleep with one foot on the floor all night. Ugh.

peedub's avatar

Cold unfiltered sake, yum…

Hot sake is barf, though.

essieness's avatar

@ptarnbsn Do whuuuuuut? When did you get shitty on sake?

FGS's avatar

@ptarnbsn Does that whole “one foot on the floor“thing really work for you? I keep trying but it ends up with me kneeling in front of the porcelain goddess.

ptarnbsn's avatar

@essieness Got shitty on Sake once long,long ago at a certain musician friends house in Dallas who shall remain nameless but initials are C.Mc. And, yes, FGS, for some reason it worked that night.

essieness's avatar

@ptarnbsn I smoked my first joint with Dad in that house…

ptarnbsn's avatar

Uh, no, we were at the house before that house. Like I said, long, long ago. But I can’t remember if that’s the night your Dad got his toenails painted or not…

jrpowell's avatar

Why all the hate for PBR?

Kahlua is the only thing I refuse to drink.

ptarnbsn's avatar

@johnpowell I like Kahlua so much I make my own.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@johnpowell not just PBR, any shite beer. :) PBR just came to mind first.

jonsblond's avatar

I’d drink PBR over Ice House any day.

@johnpowell PBR used to be brewed right across the river from us. Blondeson’s uncle drove for them.

Mtl_zack's avatar

Gin, anything with “light” in the name, black or very dark beer, the cheapest bottle of anything in the store funny stories about being broke on a saturday night, cream ale, cider with an added flavor real cider is amazing

xenializ's avatar

anything with tequila.

xenializ's avatar

or scotch. I hate that burnt smell.

Ivan's avatar

All of them.

cak's avatar

I’m not a big drinker – but I will avoid jager and everclear…I learned the hard way in college!

Oh and another bad college experience…Boone’s Farm Wine. Just bad. Cheap, but bad.

Blondesjon's avatar

Mogan David 20/20 or as we referred to it MAD DOG.

jonsblond's avatar

@cak Boone’s Farm brings back so many terrible memories.

Mtl_zack's avatar

Blondesjon’s answer reminded me of when I got drunk off of Maneshwitz. That stuff tastes like sugar, but hits you like a rock in the gonads.

FGS's avatar

@Blondesjon Is that what the MD stands for???!!?? I have been asking all sorts of people and they all say Mad Dog…It could be that I’m asking the wrong people…eeerr…uuuhhh…

cak's avatar

@jonsblond…it brings up too many drunken stories…ones that I probably shouldn’t ever share!

Darwin's avatar

I rarely drink anything alcoholic these days. I never have liked most distilled stuff but certainly so much of it is mixed with other tasty stuff that I have in my younger years been able to consume it happily. However, once I found out how to talk folks into making Vrigin Margaritas or giving me a glass of tonic and lime (no gin, thank you) I became much happier to be at cocktail parties. I do like beer having been a brewing judge long, long ago in a land far, far away but my allergies have removed it from consideration. Ditto most wines worth drinking (I have always liked Cabernet Sauvignons).

However, the one alcoholic beverage I think I would not consume is Kumis, also known as Airag.

And the one alcoholic beverage I wouldn’t knowingly consume ever again would be the South American Chicha or Masato (made from boiled yucca root chewed up and spat into a communal container and then fermented by action of the saliva).

cak's avatar

@jonsblonddarn…I just figured out that I am maxed out on lurve for you! I still lurve you!!

asmonet's avatar

No ‘Light’ beers, almost no domestic beers and I refuse to have Blue Hurricanes.

Darwin's avatar

@FGS – MD 20/20 is indeed a fortified wine made by Mogen-David. While unpleasant in many respects, it has the dual advantages of being both cheap and kosher.

cak's avatar

@Darwin – yep – I’d avoid the Chicha and Masato, as well!

FGS's avatar

@Darwin And we both know that Kosher is the key to happiness…

Darwin's avatar

@cak – But what about the kumis? (fermented mare’s milk)

@FGS – Sometimes you just gotta go kosher

FGS's avatar

@Darwin ‘cause Kosher rocks!! ;)

jonsblond's avatar

@cak I’ll share. A vomit mixture of Cheetos and Pepto Bismol. I’ll never look at pink and orange the same. I’ve maxed out on you too. :)

Blondesjon's avatar

@FGS…It’s right there on the bottle.

i’m an avid reader

Dog's avatar

Red bull and vodka is another.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

I only drink microbrewed beers, usually ales and stouts. Any sort of hard liquor makes my guts hurt, and if it gives you pain, don’t do it, has always been my motto. I won’t drink any of that mass produced swill made by the big corporations. Life is too short to drink cheap (and crappy) beer.

FGS's avatar

@Blondesjon hmmm…I’ve never taken the time to read the bottle since my first run in with that devil’s juice…

Kraken's avatar

Red wine = me vomiting.
White wine & beer are Sweet & dandy.

elijah's avatar

Cheap well liquor.
Absolut vodka.
Whiskey.
Cognac.
Tequila.
Jäger.

Anything minty.
Anything blue.
Anything creamy.
I rarely drink beer.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

I used to have a fondness for applejack, but its been so long since I’ve had any, I’m not sure if I can still drink it. I’d hate to buy a bottle only to find out it makes my belly hurt, too.

cak's avatar

@darwin – I’ll pass on that, too! I just grossed out my husband on the descriptions.

@jonsblondplayed truth or dare, took dare one too many times. Had to where a whipped cream (redi-whip) bikini. Roommate took a picture, it was still on the wall during a parent weekend. Not a stellar moment!

cak's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra—that’s one that I’ve never heard of before!

@jonsblond….eeeewww…I just really thought of that combination. Really gross!

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

Here is what Wikipedia says about it. Applejack is a strong alcoholic beverage produced from apples, originating from the American colonial period. It is made by concentrating hard cider, either by the traditional method of freeze distillation or by true evaporative distillation. The term “applejack” derives from “jacking”, a term for freeze distillation.

From the fermented juice, with an alcohol content of less than ten percent, the concentrated result contains thirty to forty percent alcohol, is slightly sweet, and usually tastes and smells of apples. Freeze distilling concentrates all of the alcohol by-products of fermentation including ethanol, methanol and fusel alcohols. Distillation by evaporation can separate these as they have different boiling points. Due to the relatively higher cost and lower yield of alcohol produced from fruit fermentation, commercially produced applejack may be composed of apple brandy diluted with grain spirits until the drink reaches the desired alcohol content.

Known as “Jersey Lightning”, applejack’s long history in New Jersey includes once being used as currency to pay road construction crews during the colonial period.

jonsblond's avatar

@cak I never thought that I would go to sleep with a visual of you in a whipped cream bikini. lol…Time for bed. :)

Dog's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra Wow! I had never heard of it either. Historic brew.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

I think the stuff we bought was apple brandy diluted with grain alcohol. Smelled and tasted like apples, and man, did it ever fuck you up!

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

Apple Jack and marijuana are probably the main two reasons I don’t remember most of the 1980’s.

jonsblond's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra You didn’t miss much.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

@jonsblond I don’t know, some of the people that I lived through it with have some great stories, and I can’t remember very much of it.

cak's avatar

@jonsblondsorry? :)

@evelyns pet zebra – big hair, neon clothes, synthesized music. Red power ties. Yuppies. There you go!

jonsblond's avatar

@cak I’d rather play Trouble. Up for a game?

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

yeah, now its all coming back. There was a band called The Vapors, had a song called Turning Japanese. I liked that song.

Darwin's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra – My parents used to make Applejack when they lived in Princeton during my dad’s grad school days. They would buy hard cider and then set it outside on the windowsill to distill it by freezing. They said it was good, but they never did it again once my dad got a real job.

cak's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra – oh yeah! I remember that song!

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

@Darwin cool, I used to work at an apple orchard and I spent many an Autumn running the cider press. We made it in three hundred gallon batches, as that was how much the tank would hold. Took us about 12 hours to make that much.

I tried to make hard cider once or twice, but failed miserably. Made some nice vinegar, though, without even trying. :-)

kenmc's avatar

Vodka is the devil.

cak's avatar

@boots – no way! Really?

jonsblond's avatar

@evelyns_pet_zebra The grass is barely green and now I’m dreaming of autumn.

Actually, I’m picturing cak running through leaves in a whipped cream bikini. Didn’t I say I was going to bed? :)

casheroo's avatar

There’s a lot of alcohol I won’t drink. I go for fruity things.

No Jager, Gin, nothing with soda (soda and alcohol make’s my stomach turn) which stinks, because i used to like long island’s :(
I don’t drink any beer, I hate the way it tastes…and it takes way too long to get drunk. Such a waste.

laurenigula's avatar

I really can’t do most wines. I try, very rarely do I find a wine I like, but even then I can’t drink more then a few sips. It just doesn’t do anything for me.

kenmc's avatar

@cak Absolutely. It’s Satan’s urine.

I’ve never been worse than when drinking vodka.

@laurenigula hi! Nice to see you’re here.

Likeradar's avatar

I’m sorry, essie, I don’t understand the question… :)

cak's avatar

@jonsblondYes! You did say you were heading to bed. Leave and whipped cream…I see trouble for the lifespan of a whipped cream bikini.

MacBean's avatar

I’ve never tried a beer that I would drink again. Though I’m open to trying kinds that I haven’t tried before. There has to be one out there somewhere that I don’t think tastes like something that’s been passed through a living being.

I’ve never had an honestly bad drinking experience. So I don’t have any “I learned the hard way!” stories to keep me away from any particular liquor. Booze is my friend. I’ve never even had a hangover. Knowing your limits and drinking responsibly FOR THE WIN.

aviona's avatar

NO more gin, straight tequila shots, or Franzia. Fuck Franzia.

MacBean's avatar

Dammit, I clicked to edit my response and the page reloaded without the edit link. Talk about shit timing.

By the way, today (28 March) is Frederick Pabst‘s birthday. Give his beer a break for the day!

wilhel1812's avatar

I don’t drink spirits.

Sueanne_Tremendous's avatar

I can’t think of anything. Hmmm.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

Beer. I can’t get past the sour, vinegary smell. I don’t do vodka, either. I got deathly sick on that shit years ago & it just turns my stomach to think about it.

Mr_M's avatar

Anything with a stupid paper umbrella in it.

EmpressPixie's avatar

Pineapple wine. I just can’t. Never again!

Darwin's avatar

I had almost forgotten it: homemade wine made from cactus tunas. It was a lovely fluorescent pink color, but it tasted like furniture polish.

kevinhardy's avatar

beer in every form

Cardinal's avatar

Judging from what a read here…...............NOTHING!

2corgis's avatar

Tequila…I’ll spare you the gory details.

alossforwords's avatar

The thought of a snow shoe (peppermint schnapps and 151) makes me cringe.

aprilsimnel's avatar

@alossforwords – Oh, that does sounds heinous.

adreamofautumn's avatar

I really really can’t get behind Gin. That crap tastes like someone melted down a Christmas tree and poured it into my glass. Every time i’ve tried all I could think of was Pine-Sol. Eww.

eponymoushipster's avatar

@adreamofautumn you gotta try good gin. get thyself some Bombary Sapphire. everyone loves the blue lady.

elijah's avatar

@adreamofautumn I agree with @eponymoushipster ‘s suggestion, and you could also try Tanqueray 10.

ru2bz46's avatar

Life is too short to drink cheap beer or wine. Also, “prison hooch” (fermented leftover bread, fruit, etc.).

cdwccrn's avatar

I won’t drink any of it.

OpryLeigh's avatar

Gin and white wine

Darwin's avatar

@Leanne1986 – You mean mixed together?! Bleccchhhh!

Sounds like a bizarre form of shandy.

adreamofautumn's avatar

@Darwin in Germany Beer + Cola is bottled and sold under a brand called “Mixery”. Weird shit. Haha.

buster's avatar

I will not drink snake wine.

Darwin's avatar

@adreamofautumn – What a waste of good beer!

asmonet's avatar

@buster: Thanks, that was fucking gross. :)

NUNYA's avatar

I think it is gin. It tastes like a damn pinetree! YUCK! I don’t wanna consume a pine tree! I’m a Crown Royal, Jack Daniels or Bud Light Bottles woman!!!! BUT REMEMBER…...............:BEER TO WIHSKEY IS AWEFUL RISKY! but “WHISKEY TO BEER HAVE NO FEAR! But I live by the rule of…................ Never change horses in the middle of a stream! (it’s either one or the other all night long)

ru2bz46's avatar

@NUNYA Pine tree! I’ve been trying to place that taste for so many years! I actually like gin. Thanks! GA

NUNYA's avatar

@ru2bz46 Well after all these years!!!! lol I really do think it smells and taste like a pine tree or a juniper bush. LOL :-)

ItsAHabit's avatar

I would pass on chica and am not too keen on trying casiri. To learn why, see #5 and #29 at http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/FunFacts/WouldYouBelieve.html Would you try either of them?
