Foulest drink you have consumed?

Zaph · 2007-08-09 16:02:12

As a companion to the strongest drink thread, what's the worst liquid masquerading as an alcoholic beverage have you ever had? For me it has to be Becherovka. I still have nightmares about being caught unawares in a beer hall in Prague by a purveyor of shots and only discovering what the shots were when I'd knocked it…

Drank the collective dregs from that steel thing they put your drink on at the bar.
Earned me the nickname "The Barmat Hero" from the barman.

Couldn't really taste it though, as I was already three sheets to the wind as you might imagine.

Unicum, a panic buy duty free present from Budapest. It's Hungarian, allegedly good for your health and made of herbs and the like.

It has the foulest aftertaste in christendom. Don't ever drink it.

Vogelbeer schnapps, given to me by a student of mine in Austria.

She made me drink a mouthful in front of the whole class. I went to take a swig, and she said "Be careful! It's strong!"

Pah! "I'm Irish!".

1 hefty swig later, my face was burning, my eyes were streaming, my stomach was heaving...

AVOID!

This stuff is strictly for the natives, who can take it. FYI, it's made from mountain ash berries.

jaysus, readin this thread is gas. most of you (not all!) are woosies! How dare any of you list any beer as foul! philistines!

Anywho, id imagine not many of you have drank this stuff as its not as readily available in ireland it seems. I cant describe other than saying, battery acid. Fernet Branca

Its a liquer. Next time you go away to pretty much any other country in the world, order a glass straight. You will understand what i mean by battery acid.

by the way, its a great drink as hair of the dog or for illness.

I tasted that for the first time a couple of months ago. I knew it had a reputation for being an amazing hangover cure, but for use in only the direst emergencies due to its appalling taste. I have to say it didn't live up to its billing, it was nowhere near as bad as I'd been led to believe. Doesn't mean I'd rush out an buy a bottle, but I'd drink it ahead of raki or some of the other poison mntioned in this thread.
