[Closed] Do you have an alcoholic drink that is your 'Nemesis'?

V.a.T.

V from the freezer, T from the fridge. Chilled glass. No ice.

Nope. I can take it or leave it.

I'd prefer a drink of milk, TBH. 🙂

Dry white wine, 1 bottle doesn't touch the sides, 2 bottles lasts an evening but I feel fine the next day, 3 bottles gets me pretty pissed and I feel jaded for a couple of hours the next day, 4 bottles and I behave like an asshat and don't come alive until midday the next day.

Tequila

Usually served in a glass, with a dash of tequila and a sprinkling of tequila.

Absinthe == bad

One particular night in a French campsite, many hours of lost memories, with photos to show what we were up to. The next day's hangover was hell on earth - couldn't even keep water down.

Bad. Can't go near the stuff now; even the smell turns my stomach.

Dave

tequila i love, or a decent mezcal !

cider on the other hand-i leave it for the tramps and 14yr olds now

Isn't a nemesis your arch rival you can never beat? In which case Martini is my nemesis, makes me yak.

Gin on the other hand would be my battlecat... if I was He Man 😀

The worst hangover ever. I was convinced my veins were full of iron filings. I've never touched it since.

I hardly drink now but in the past (15 years ago) I was a bit of a piss head.

Miller Lite as sold in Bury's premier night club was my nemesis 😯 , it turned me into a violent bad tempered idiot.

Vodka - Whenever I have more than a couple of shots my memory of the night before isnt clear.

Carolans Irish Liquor - Cant even stomach the smell due to one night with this. Smelled the same coming back up too. never again!!!

Ruby grapefruit Bacardi Breezer.

Not my tipple. But I used to work in a bar and I've seen what happens when the above makes a sudden, and unwelcome reappearance.

EDIT: Damn my oversensitive Send Post mouse clickery. Ignore this one (and probably that one ^^^^ too).

I think you've got the whole nemesis thing wrong Hora. You're not very bright are you.

I can't stomach the smell of brandy.I used to love the stuff until a nosebag-fuelled, weekend-long birthday binge ended me up with proper, honest-to-god alcohol poisoning. Oh, to be young and stupid!

A nice glass (or bottle or 2) of nice Shiraz is far more civilised

Dry white wine, 1 bottle doesn't touch the sides, 2 bottles lasts an evening but I feel fine the next day,

MIne are Hoegaarden and Stella - turn me from happy drunk to stupid, irresponsible, argumentative drunk. I won't touch them in the pub (well maybe one pint of Stella). If I am out with my wife I won't even have a sip of either.

Vodka, guaranteed hangover the next day. Can drink whisky until it comes out my ears with little or no ill effects.

I'm into, wait for it.. Tea Cocktails, Oh yes, I kid you not!

All started after a very long night up the Oxo Tower drinking that one they serve in the tea pot (can't remember the name but it's something to do with the proibishion (spelling!!))

Anyhoo's I've been finding recepies off t'internet containig all sorts of wierd/wonderfull ingredients and lots or either White Rum or Vodka..

No hangovers here as we're just going for the taste not quantity/vomit ratios, phah

Binners I could drink it straight out of the bottle. Its like pop.

When I was younger JD used to turn me evil.

sambucca..... just thinking about it makes me feel ill

one bad bad bad night when i was younger a mate and i drink a whole bottle out of mugs on a camping trip...woke up about a mile from the camp cant remember much and now even the smell of the stuff makes me ill

Gin on the other hand is awesome!

Vodka, bloody hate the stuff, the smell, the taste, everything.

The other thing is a drink we invented in my student days, the Turbo Spritzer. In a pint glass mix 1 glass of white wine with 1 bottle of Smirnoff Ice. It actually tastes OK but the hangovers it leaves behind are enough to make a grown man cry.

Whats the plural for nemesis, since I have 2 of them?
I was at a party and thought that brandy mixed with baileys was a great idea, it resulted in 24 hours of missing time in my life. Theres a list of crap from that night that I´d only ever admit to in court.
And the hangover was like the return of the black death...never again.

Another one for Rum here

Brought back a bottle from a trip to Cuba (Matusalem) & it literally evaporated on the plane on the way back!

Well that's what I told the Mrs a few days latter 😯

Southern Comfort = instant pukage so violent it doesnt touch the sides!

Newcastle brown=arse of fire and head of hammers 🙁
I like it, but it hates me 😕
Edit, and purple nastys (pint of snakebite with a double Pernod and blackcurrant) never again.......

Others I can't drink because of earlier encounters:

Pernod (ended up a pillion on a motorbike going the wrong way down the A1 - the person riding it had a full leg in plaster and we walked into a service station for food. Found a sheep in my tent the next morning).

Southern Comfort (got so drunk I actually missed an orgy going on in the same room as I fell unconscious in)

Tequila (walked out of a tree)

Why, oh why did I ever think that was going to be a good idea?

Not a drinker really but vodka hits the stomach and comes straight back up, pleasant for all concerned.

Rarely drink nowadays but I used to have to stay clear of Beamish as twice, whilst drinking it, I had to throw pants away after 'following through'

Flashy - On its own or as a Green Nasty? That used to be our first drink of the evening

Pint glass. 1 bottle of K cider (8% remember that stuff?), 1 bottle of Lowenbrau Pils, 1 double Blue Bols, Optional double vodka depending on mood

Used to turn your pint fluorescent green 😀

Flashy - On its own or as a Green Nasty?

Out version of that was a pint of blue bols, gin and OJ, was surprisingly drinkable, and turned your poo green the next day, which was nice.

Yep tequila here as well. Had a mental night where i drank about 6 shots of it. Lost about 4 hours that night.

Even the smell of it makes me heave now.

Cheap tequila.

Vomit and memory loss practically guaranteed.

Ha! +1 😉

Had a mental night where i drank about 6 shots of it.

Does not compute. Did you miss some numbers out there? 😉

Not found anything in particular that makes me any worse than anything else. although I can't stomach baileys/dooleys/corkeys, basicly anything creamy makes me gag.

Absynth though, even single shots gives me hangovers! Not as bad a taste as I anticipated though.

Had a mental night where i drank about 6 shots of it.

Either you've made a type and missed a digit before/after the 6 , you're a light weight, or you just dont remember the rest of the bottle.

Shot after shot of tequila with whole chillies, by bedtime I was projectile vomiting, even into my girlfriends bedside mug which she kept her gum shield in - she was not impressed.

And before you ask, she used to grind her teeth.

Generally a happy/sleepy drunk, but sherry probably qualifies as my nemesis.
Me and the missus drank a bottle of it walking back from Oban town centre to our campsite 3 miles down the road and then decided that as a) it was raining, and b) people were sleeping, that it would be best for everyone if we had the barbecue inside our tent.

McEwans Export. 4 cans of 'Red Death' give the worst hangover i've ever had.

As an aside, a drink which sounds revolting but is actually rather tasty is a Buckfast milkshake. 50% Buckie and 50% milk - genuinely tastes yum

And before you ask, she used to grind her teeth.

NAME THAT BAND!

Baz Bomber

Pint of lager with a double vodka and lime in it. Taste's like a lager and lime but you can only do this when you are 18.

I used to work in a bar in Perth where the pre-football crowd would drink snakebites where the lager was Special Brew and the cider White Lightening.

tequila, sambuca, pastis, absinthe, salmiaki vodka, jaluviina, rakia all make me rolf.

I love Sambuca. I hardly drink now but am going to have a couple of glasses after dinner on Friday.

Is it Madness?

Nope 🙂

Not the not drinking bit, but the vodka bit. It's OK when mixed, but drunk neat it just wants to come straight back up.

Jack Daniels gives me a rotten headache. Even just 1 JD & Coke, so it must be something that's in it.

Tequila I seem to be able to drink a lot of for some reason. I used to house share with a bloke and we'd play Tequila Banzai (remember the TV show). Place your bets & if you lost you had to drink a shot. I think we used to average about 11 or 12 shots each per show......

Therapy?

I used to live on white lightning and Uni. We each had a bottle before going out.

POSTED 12 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

Pre-going out drinks at uni? We used to have Fastaways. Bottle of Castaway, bottle of Diamond White. Drop a gram of speed in, mix, neck in one. Ready for anything 😀

We used to make that at uni as well, except we used port rather than blacks and called it 'Snakebosh'. Twas an excellent pre-club drink....

Castaway! there's a drink from the past!

Haven't seen anyone admit to anything involving Babycham yet 😉

TVR

Tequilla, Vodka, Red Bull

Just say NO..........

Diamond White turns me into a right nasty piece of work even just 1 bottle when sober,I get arsey with people/start fights without reason.

I haven't touched it for years because I know what it does to me.

Normal cider/scrumpy don't have the same effect (thankfully cos I like them)

Ahem, Babycham you say, on a camping trip many moons ago up the west coast somewhere can't remember where exactly, anyway after camp and bikes were set up we nipped down to the village shop (in car) for some supplies, and low and behold they have a promotion on, buy the evening paper and get a 6 pack of babycham free, he only had 45 papers left as he had sold 5 to the locals already, so we purchased them all at 32p at the time IIRC, so 270 bottles of babycham later........ £14.40 for 270 bottles, good deal we thought.
Shop keeper was not impressed so we left him 44 papers.

a Double Pernod and Blackcurrant in a Pint of Cider,a Red Witch?
Woke up in hospital after a few too many pints of that mix.
Malibu, teenage experiment, cant even smell coconut without feeling sick 30 years on.

I can (somehow) remember swigging from two bottles of K Cider simultaneously. Ouch. I couldn't walk home from the pub if I did that now, but that was just last drink after a night on the pop back then.

Then there was 'Spiders' nightclub in Hull - a Goth/Metal nightclub frequented by students - they did a 'Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster' which was basically a top-shelf rally in a pint glass. Ohh the memories of drinking that whist listening to Black Sabbath 'Sweet Leaf' blasting through their PA 🙂

They used to do that at a pub near work MF. It was referred to as a 'Life on Mars' and was a birthday tradition that couldn't be escaped!

Aaaaah the projectile vomiting memories

As well as tequila (the devils very own tipple), my other nemesis' are Brodie and K cider, both would turn me into some kind of devil eyed monster.
Ruddles County turns me into a biological time bomb that could clear a small city in seconds - pppphaaarrrrpppp! Bought some cheap Grappa from a local supermarket once and bejesus it was rough.

Myeh - nothing like pubs next to work and birthdays - that's where/why the 'orgy' night started out way back when (1992 I think). The Commercial, Earlsheaton nr Dewsbury. Pints of Tetley's and karaoke (Summer Loving) with another guy. LOL. Ohh happy memories.

Hold on a second. Did I read this right?

As an aside, a drink which sounds revolting but is actually rather tasty is a Buckfast milkshake. 50% Buckie and 50% milk - genuinely tastes yum

Really?

Are you sure? I have never drunk buckfast due to an encounter with a friend who had been drinking it. He emerged from the pub cubicle ashen faced, wiping spew from his mouth and then washed his hands. Turned to me and said never drink buckfast. and then stumbled off to the cubicle and started voming again. I never have.
My nemesis is vodka.
And jack daniels. Mainly because if I find myself drinking jack, (and there is only one pub where I would find myself doing this and one group of friends) I know that the night has somehow gone very very wrong and nothing I can do will save me.

Ohh happy memories.

Or lack thereof!

Tequila turns me into a stunt double for Linda Blair in the Exorcist. Projectile vomiting, speaking in tongues, the works.

Never knowingly touch the stuff.

I was a bouncer at rooftops, blimey so you were the lad who was spit-roasted? Well I never! 😀

Did you ever go to Hardtimes in Mirfield?

My nemesis is also my special weapon, as Vodka Redbull renders you completely sober after drinking it for more than 8 hours. Have never had worse hangovers though, so I try to stay away from it now. When I'm very drunk whisky is the one most likely to make me vom so I just avoid it if I can remember what I know it's about to make me do 😉

Most dangerous was probably the bottle of absinthe with a decent % of wormwood in it. Caused a full on family row that did, which is unheard of for us. I bought it for my mum's 50th 😆

my nemesis is absinthe, I love it but too much makes me go whooooooarluk everywhere.... yey 2000AD reference mission complete

Slivovice 😳

Thornbridge Jaipur IPA - goes down a treat, gives you a truly skull cracking hangover the next day, even with only a couple of pints

Amaretto (awful, really, really awful)

Killepitsch (sp?)

Never, never again. (Well, I might try Killepitsch again. Maybe. I hope not.)

all alcohol is my nemesis 🙁 sambuca especially though; just 'cause it tastes so so rank.

Hora - no, my shenanigans were based around Dewsbury and Wakey due to work and workmates. 🙂

In my sleep. I grind my teeth.

Saw 'em live last November. Played Troublegum straight through.

F*cking, [i]f*cking[/i] fantastic.

Myself and 2 chums made absolute beasts of ourselves on tequila in germany on an NMA tour once; totaled the bottle and a bag of lemons, helped Justin et al finish the rider (the band were not particularly big drinkers apart from Moose) and made our way back to the EMI rep lady's house.once there we marveled at her record collection blagged as much cool promo swag as we could and collapsed arseholed drunk. the next morning we were met with stern German scowls and asked to leave. turns out of of the lads had "made love" to the EMI girl while we sensitively roared on encouragement from the lounge. I was very very drunk at the time....

MF reminds me of a time I ran through a pub naked in Dewsbury for a bet after a great night 😀

..and I once went to a fancy dress in a dress on the train from Hudds to Dewsbury...got some funny looks but **** it 😀

Whisky is my nemesis. After necking half a bottle at one of Debbie Wilsons infamous house parties when i was 15, threw up for an hour in sink & wierdly got nowhere when trying to convince her to "make lurve" afterwards.

Cannot stand even the smell of the stuff now (whisky that is).
