You know how everyone's got That One Liquor they can't drink because They Had That Wicked Awful Experience With It? The one that makes them Capitalize Mid-Sentence Phrases? Mine's actually whiskey (I know, I know, it's all right, I'll manage a full life), but I know so many people for whom it's 151 that I've never been able to touch it myself. Cringe through osmosis.

My Mid-Sentence Drink is Wild Turkey 101, but I can drink that again without getting the shivers. I just choose not to.

I didn't drink white wine for 4 years until I was 19 after an incident that saw me almost lose my virginity to a very unsuitable lesbian and end up upside down propped aginst my bedroom door.

Also, vermouth (read: it was cheap alcohol, dammit) in my 1st year at university. I haven't had it since, and I so no reason to even try.

I read the phrase "mid-sentence drink" and remembered the moment in the first ever pro script sent in by Mark Millar, now I believe the best selling comics writer in the English language. (I was the editor.) It described one panel where a character spoke, then took a drink, then spoke some more. It is perhaps the clearest small example I've seen of a talented writer who has not learnt to think in comic terms when writing comics.

Jaegermeister and/or sloe gin

I'm not exactly certain if I have one of these, I mean, I've done my share of drinkin', I've drank whiskey, jaeger, goldshlager, kahlua, tequila, MOONSHINE...oh wait there ya go.

I feel so bad for oops, Tanqueray is a gift from evergreen gods.

(I'm sure every entry in this thread will inspire a similar comment from someone; why is no one's MSD ever "Uncle Jed's Slop Wine Surprise" or "Miller Lite" or "sour mash-up, potcheen vs. Green Apple Schnapps fite!")

(What the hell am I talking about with that last one?)

(Where the hell's my coffee?)

And crosspost with Nickel, dammit, proving me wrong as a nun with a strap-on ferret.

Rrf rrf *muffle*

(Do ferrets rrf?)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep, you are very very bad man.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Rrf.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway, yeah, mine's whiskey, I think. Straight whiskey: I can take it in coffee, and never notice it in daiquiris because they're daiquiris. Straight whiskey, especially anything from Bushmill's, just makes me quaver. I was never even sick on it, but I had a long multiweek drunk on it, and it was Not A Good Time.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

gin tastes like pine trees smell. I like it.

Exactly, if there was a liquor that tasted more like spruce than pine, I'd die happy. Of drinking. The spruce liquor.

That's why I don't much like Dutch gin, though, it's all ... different.

Citron vodka. Last consumed on New Year's Eve 1995 in Anchorage, Alaska. Arrived at the party at 10:30, dimly remember midnight. Locked myself in the bathroom and wouldn't come out until "Sabotage" was played--twice.

somebody's gettin' all rrf'd & muffl'd in their area, yo.

and i can't drink Capt Morgan, thanks to the night after the Michigan/Michigan State game in 1996.

Southern Comfort. All I remember is that I was babbling like a homeless dude.

Can not drink vodka anymore. Gives me quivers to this day. The thought of a white Russian makes me dry heave.

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Yep, its Southern Comfort for me. Turns me into an ornery bastard.

Best reaction to unhappy alcohol ever.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 29 August 2003 15:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Milwaukee s Best. Yes, that s right. BEER.

the beast.

Dammit, Francis is proving me wrong too. Okay, so much for my theory.

It was the first weekend of my Xmas vacation freshman year of college. Back at home. My best friend, ex-gf, and I finished the entire bottle of Tanqueray in about two hours. My best fried, Dan, later said he only had a few shots so my ex and I drank the majority of it. All I remember is dancing around like a buffoon, making out with her (she was my ex at that time and it was the only time since we had broken up that we were ever physical), driving around and sitting in Dan's car with the door open trying not to puke.
Just sitting in Dan's driveway, trying to sober up when my Dad appears out of nowhere and just goes apeshit, yelling at me as if I'd just killed baby Jesus or something--we already dropped Meredith off at my house so she could meet up with her Mom so he knew what was going on.
It was the first time I'd been caught drinking and the last time I was ever punished for it--I couldn't go out the next night. Boo-hoo.

I don't really have anyone anymore, but I'm not that keen on white rum and orange juice (not that one ever should have been in the first place) ever since the pissing incident.

The only anything that I can't consume due to agonizing sickness memories is Marlboro Lights. I don't remember what I drank to achieve the worst hangover of my life, but I do I remember smoking 2 packs of these the night of. Plus they are just plain awful cigarettes.
