    Sambuca ........... the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth.

    Bailey's ........ used to like the odd one but drank a whole bottle of it one night at an after-party and when I vomited the next morning it came up like sweet vomit-flavoured ice cream ........... the memory still makes me wretch.

    Tequila ......... just has no re-deeming qualities in my opinion.

    Bulmers ........... like drinking 50/50 sugar and fizzy water.

    A lad i know used to love turning up to parties with a bottle of Unicum, offering shots of it to innocent bystanders, somehow it manages to taste much worse than it sounds.

    Emu beer in oz...it actually tastes like a dead emu

    Emu Bitter was my favourite drink in Oz. Export was usually all I could afford and that was rough enough but the bitter was quality

    That bottle of sherry found at the back of the press at 6am in the morning when everything else at the party has been drunk

    The horror... the horror...


    Sherry also provides the worst hangovers, or maybe a tie with Brandy.

    Mike's Hard Lemonade? Tastes as bad as the usual alcopops, loaded with sugar!

    No it's the freshly made lemonade that I'm referring to. In the summer I sometimes get them from stands on the streets here.

    Good shout with the Aussie stuff actually. I was there for the cricket last winter and a few days of Carlton Mid-Strength in the sun was not good for my gut.

    Yeah, even Fosters is pretty mank IMO. I'm pretty happy with cheap lager mostly, but Fosters is awful.

    I'm surprised Unicum is getting so many mentions, an ex housemate of mine got a taste for it years ago when he was on holidays in Hungary and always drinks it on special occasions still. I quite prefer it to most liquers actually.

    Fosters is so bad even the Aussies refuse to drink it, they just export it. I've never seen it sold in Australia.

    The worst spirit and mixer combo I've ever had was gin and red bull....almost undrinkable


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    Prosecco is absolutely foul. First and so far only time I had it, I barfed. Granted, that was after having a pitcher of Stella Artois, two mojitos and a plate of birthday cake....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,043 ✭✭✭Truckermal


    Most of the mainstream beers on tap in the UK are fair p1ss in fairness..

    I have a stomach of cast iron but even the smell of Sambuca makes me heave. Was out a few weeks ago and asked a mate to get me a tequila at the bar, he was that pissed he ordered Sambuca instead, I swopped in, downed it without as much as a sniff and instantly puked. Luckily it was only Coppers so was grand.

    Yeah all of them.
    Jaysus, you must have squandered a fucking fortune. Before you go spending more I think it would be wise to invest in a session with a psychologist, cheaper in the long run.

    Gingerbread flavoured tequila! I've never tasted anything as bad in my entire life.

    Fernet (I think that's it's name) - Argentinian liquer made with bitters and has a rotten aftertaste. Steer well clear.

    Any cider and Bacardi and of course the dreaded anything aniseed are guaranteed to make me laugh at the carpet

    Dutch Gold/Bavaria/Tenants and the worst of the lot is budwiser.

    I changed from Tuborg (unfortunately) to budweiser last november until 2 weeks ago just for a short-term change and every morning i awoke I was physically sick puking for at least 2 hours, every morning, and couldn't understand why.

    I done a test and knocked the Budweiser on the head and went back to Tuborg, and since I done this I awake fine.

    Has anyone experienced this feeling of being very sick the next day after drinking a few cans of Budweiser only ? I'd love to know, because it only happens with Budweiser.

    You would want to be horsing it into you to be puking every morning. It's a light beer so I can't see why you would be so sick.

    Only 5/6 beers of bud only. either the water used in the production of bud vatted in Ireland is off, or it has a chemical ingredient added in its brew is the only thing I can think of.

    I'm stumped with this one, because as I mentioned earlier it only happens with Budweiser. It never happens with Tuborg ever, this is why I am so curious as to this particular Budweiser beer in cans. I don't drink in the pub so cannot forward the effects to the pint.

    Don't drink it so. You're not missing much. Allergic to Bud, I've heard it all now.

    I like Desperados, its probably the only lager I do like. The rest are awful but Bud is the worst of the worst, absolutely vile stuff. Actually most alcoholic drinks I've tried are horrible. Whiskey, brandy Guinness, most cocktails, alcopops and so on. Desperados and Bulmers are the only 2 drinks I like. I tried a lovely cider in Prague called Friscos. Can't seem to get it here though.

    Have exactly the same problem, while I don't actually mind the taste of a cold Budweiser any time I ever drink more than 3/4 pints of it I vomit it up the next morning, only happens with Bud ....... I avoid it now.
