RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Necro - 03-10-2021
I remember when I was about 10 I was in England and bought this cinnamon chewing gum thinking it would be cool as it was something I never had.
Have hated cinnamon ever since...

What kind of monster came up with the idea of cinnamon chewing gum???

I can't taste cinnamon.

Wasn't cinnamon one of those things that was used in old times to cover the flavour of stuff that had gone off ?
Reckon cloves would be in a similar category
But not ginger. Ginger gets a free pass from me

Oh I did all three colours of aftershock one night as a young fella and completely blacked out.
The following year I was back up in the same town and the flyer advertising that particular pub had yours truly dancing with some random girl on the front of it
To this day I've no recollection of either that photo or the girl in question

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Purple Mountain - 03-10-2021
@Necro that's a brilliant story!! You should have demanded royalties from the poster.
I've never tried After Shock. Anything that looks like mouthwash isn't appealing to me.
My worst encounter with drink was Perno and blackcurrant. It's not a nice taste to be vomiting up. Eeekkk.
I was only 19 though.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - quickbeam - 03-10-2021
Oh gods, Pernod is vile. I remember having it somewhere semi-posh where I couldn't really turn it down, and drinking it, and topping up with more blackcurrant, and drinking it and topping up again, just to try and get it all down eventually. It seemed no matter how much blackcurrant was added the taste remained the same, so it ended up being a never ending glass of Pernod.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - dawg - 03-10-2021
Pernod is second only to absinthe when it comes to drinks that kill off brain cells
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Purple Mountain - 03-10-2021
Also a drink called satruch, don't know how to spell it but it was pretty strong too.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - quickbeam - 03-10-2021
Ever try Becherovka? A Czech liquor. Holy mother of god that was also vile.

I don't like ginger either. I don't really taste it in food, except maybe biscuits, but I had a ginger beer once, thinking it'd be delicious. It definitely *sounds* delicious and if it was good enough for The Famous Five then it must be good, right? Nope. Horrible.

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Leg End Reject - 03-10-2021
@Purple Mountain, I was that Pernod soldier too. I loved it until that fateful night I puked it back up ... I could still smell it the next morning when I woke up.

Orange - Grand Marnier ?
Nice enough, even if sweet

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - quickbeam - 03-10-2021
We didn’t have Smirnoff Ice when I was young. We’d have Hooch and Woodies. Delicious at the time but I think they’d make me sick now.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Necro - 03-10-2021
I still get hankerings for Fat Frogs even though they're far far too sweet. Nearly bought one last night but thought better of it in the end..
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - nothing - 03-10-2021
Ah, fat frogs. Orange smirnoff, lemon smirnoff, blue wkd, 2 pint glasses with ice and some straws. Nomnomnom

Fair enough, it's an acquired taste, but I have fond memories of it. A shot or two of that stuff traditionally ended our Christmas dinner

I drank Becherovka in Prague about 25 years ago. I still remember the taste like it was yesterday. One of the vilest drinks I've ever had the misfortune to taste.

RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Purple Mountain - 03-10-2021
It would have probably been referred to as an 'alcopop'. But it had a strange bottle with a really wide mouth and a cap you would twist open like a jam jar.
I am going to look for some old photos because I bet I'd find some photos of Nights out from a kodak camera.

I'm in the bed now and I slept for 2 hours earlier.
I had a read of some of the drinks posts. Took me back. When I was 15 my friend at the time wanted a bottle of Woodies for her 16th. She got it so I had my mam plagued for the same. Not a hope was that happening in my house.
Smirnoff ice was the drink of choice in college and After Shock if you were brave enough. Those trying to be cool drank vodka. My attempt at cool was Southern Comfort....vomit....I can't stomach spirits now....unless they in a cocktail.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Diamonds of Frost - 03-10-2021
Jagermeisters though

That Becherovka is pretty popular here, I'm sure we have a bottle or 2 in the cabinet.

(03-10-2021, 11:46 PM)Diamonds of Frost Wrote: Jagermeisters though
The first time I ever had Jagermeister was about 30 years ago, before it really became a popular drink. My dad and myself were in the house of his boss, who was of German extraction and always had loads of strange drinks knocking about, and he poured us each a very large glass of something we'd never seen before. It turned out to be Jagermeister, and let me tell you drinking that much of it as a sipping drink like whiskey, as opposed to knocking it back as a shot is a major ordeal. Can't stand the stuff ever since then.
The other drink I have a major problem with is peach schnapps. For a while it was hugely popular and everyone was drinking it. Friends had a new year's party and there were an awful lot of bottles of the stuff, which myself and a couple of others basically tried to get through without any outside assistance. Now just the smell of something peachy, doesn't even have to be peach schnapps, now makes my stomach do cartwheels.

Oh shudder.
Yes Southern Comfort and Peach Shnapps.
Those passes my lips too on my clubbing nights.
I went to a free house one night, I was probably 15. The drink ran out and I found a dusty bottle of sherry in the back of a wardrobe and drank that.
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Necro - 04-10-2021
Jagerbombs don't even taste nice yet I've done more of them than any other shot... I cannot imagine drinking it like whiskey alright Zaph I don't think I've ever considered it outside the shot option. Must see can I find the photo of the 14 shots lined up on the bar in Cambodia tomorrow... Would make ones liver cry

I remember knocking back 6 woodies because a girl I fancied was going to be there on a night out.
Threw up pink vomit in her hair ?
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - cee_jay - 04-10-2021
Oh Woodies... The memories! We also had an alcopop called Mugshot.
I remember a girl in my class in 3rd year had to get her stomach pumped after drinking too much in a field somewhere. Her mother did a deal with her - if she didn't drink between then and her junior cert, she would buy her a crate of woodies for celebrating end of the exams. Even my 15 year old self saw the folly in that plan.
As for peach schnapps, I have a friend just like Zaph. Even peach smelling shampoo turns her stomach. We went to our friends sister's wedding in Dromoland Castle. She drank too much peach schnapps, and told her mother the next day she must have food poisoning (from a 5 star hotel?). Her mother bought it somehow.
I can't stomach jagermeister. I hate cinnamon so Aftershock is the absolute worst. On my 21st, some guys in my class got me a rainbow of aftershocks - they ended up dumped into a pint glass to be downed. This was on the way to the party! Never again!
RE: We don't know where we are, but at least we know what to do - Kol - 04-10-2021
2l bottles of Linden Village, those were the days.

You must have been sick as a dog afterwards. I remember years ago I was seeing a dangerous lunatic if a lad. He was off his head on the stuff and punched a hole in my kitchen wall. I threw his remaining jager in to a gorgeous vase I had. Ahhhh memories I used to drink peach schnapps in college. Sickeningly sweet stuff. Along with the smirnoff ices it was my "starter" drink.
