    This is actually a well guarded secret amongst teenage and early-twenties drinkers. 600ml of JD and exactly a couple of cans is scientifically proven to temporarily disable your taste buds, thus allowing you to head down the park and swig back a sixer of dutch without the fear of projectile vomiting all over one of the lads, or young wans' you're tryin to be scorin into'.

    For all the joking in this thread it's a fairly serious concern. One of the things excessive alcohol can cause is a killing of the nerves and pathways of the tastebuds to the brain.

    OP, it's most likely just an interrupt of the pathways and only a temporary thing, but it could be a permanent severing of them.

    Best of luck.

    Edit: Also, don't drink for a few days because it's most likely a reaction to the alcohol, and any more could trigger more serious effects like blindness.

    Heh, i've been sipping on cans all afternoon watching Home Alone. In fairness though I went for a walk through town (tradition on XMas eve with me) but I had a cheeky bottle of coke and JD for that :p

    and any more could trigger more serious effects like blindness.

    To be honest if you drank that much and your only symptom was not being able to taste something I think you are getting off lightly:D

    Sounds like a drinking problem. Think about taking a look at the non-drinkers' forum before your body decides to warn you with something more serious. :(

    Is there a Bah Humbug forum? Because if there's not there's not one should definitely be made. It's horrendous watching people hating something for all the wrong reasons. Hate it if you have no family, or can't feed yourself, but if you're like most of the population, who celebrate the only time where people are told to stop and enjoy themselves, their family and friends, then there is something seriously wrong with you.

    Or you're a teenager.

    One or the other.

    That wasn't directed at you, I was just quoting the Bah Humbug forum suggestion. I was saying the people who hate Christmas must be teenagers or have come from ****e families.
