Jagermeister

The club near where I will be living next year is free to enter, and they serve test tubes of Jagermeister for £1.50 each.

I worry about my liver.

Very wrong. Which is why I switched to Golschlager.

what is even in this shit?

besides some kind of hallucinatory narcotic that makes people of all genders want to get their tits out

Never really seen the appeal.

dear Music For One, I am sorry we interrupted your set of sparse fingerpicking instrumentals by ordering Jagermeister, we did not realise it came out of a machine that would whir and rattle for the next minute

that and the black aftershock were both somewhat grim, strangely less grim when mixed together

(do not much like, would order again. why? no idea)

i dig it the most

Heh, Music For One is a friend of mine. As is Jagermeister.

Apparently you guys don't live in an area where doing rounds of shots is a standard part of the evening. It's, uh, a strongly licorice-flavored herbal liquor. xxx-post

I'd really just rather drink whiskey.

tombot 8080 -- i am friendly & amorous drunk to begin with but this shit invites so much more trouble

mh, I think everyone knows what it is -- but no-one knows the proprietary blend of herbs, botanicals, & noxious plants that's actually IN there

my finnish friends LOVE it. i hate it, but if they're buying rounds then i'll shut up and drink it. it's not nearly as bad as sambuca.

koff medicine

you know i think i've had more jagermeister in the last 14-18 mos. than in my entire life before that.

i might be turning into a 22-year-old female communications major from floria.

Is the whirring rattling machine a standard part of the experience? I don't remember one when I've had it before.

The first taste of the shot is horrible, the end of the shot is "actually, that was ok, I could have another". Well, it was for me. When I've done it in a round nobody else has reached the second stage. But then I like liquorice/aniseed-tasting drinks and they don't. Nobody to use as an excuse to buy a bottle of Akvavit or Salmiakki Koskenkorva ;_;

jagerbomb == douchebag speedball

Baltimore is a very serious Jägermeister town, has been forever.

Tell Germans that you get drunk on Jägermeister and they act as if you'd said you like to huff paint. It really is treated as medicine mostly -- one shot after a big dinner, one shot when you have a cold, etc.

I once did thirteen shots of jagermeister in a row. this was probably the biggest mistake of my life.

Jagermeister is a drink that falls into the category of "pre-puke."

I don't have anything against this per se, even tho there's a thousand liquors or spirits or whatever I'd drink before it, but the fucking marketing that goes into it make me want to boot someone in the face. Specifically a gig I was at earlier this year which was pretty badly attended to start with, whereupon these girls dressed up as lurid orange elves or something walked around the crowd, right in front of the band who were playing their set, trying to make people buy test tubes of Jaeger. It was pretty annoying

it seems we know very different Germans.

The thought of having a bottle of Jaeger in one's own home = lolz.

Oh, I know those Germans too. They all drive Opels and listen to the Böse Onkels and are breaking their mothers' hearts.

I drink this crap only when the bartender buys

FUCKING LOVE IT

bottle is amazing

the fucking marketing that goes into it make me want to boot someone in the face

until 3 weeks ago i thought it was a beer

i really have a bizarre fetish for this product. i once put a fake rose in an empty bottle and put it in my bathroom. so college...

the man responsible for marketing jager to frat daddies and young people is the same man who created grey goose vodka from scratch, promptly pricing it well above other, superior vodkas, solely to convince americans that it was better; his next project supposedly involves tequila; i, unsurprisingly, would also like to use boots on his face

all this violent talk. you sound like you've been drinking.

I think this weekend proved that i like about 6 things REALLY a lot

none of which are any good for me at all

One of my friends received a liter of jager that came in a fancy case with two shot glasses (metal, the base was a DEER'S HEAD) for graduation. From his parents.

hahaha

So many better things to do with herbs and alcohol.

Tracer Hand is OTM.

tracer are you talking about steve jobs

SICKKKK.

Yeah, a lot of people I knew got alcohol from their parents for graduation. ???????

rly??? ridiculous

Any liquor that can make me want to be in a bar that's playing the Eagles is BAD. FUCKING. NEWS.

What if it is Journey of the Sorcerer?

lol kenan

I once drank so much Jäger that the next morning, I woke up hungover and choking on a piece of undigested food in the back of my throat. I reached into my mouth to pinch it out and instead of food, it was my swollen uvula!

I don't touch that stuff anymore. Jäger or uvulas.

PP that's happened to me twice after heavy drinking (and smoking); no jager was involved; it is VERY disturbing, feels like a giant loogie is lodged right at the back of your throat

it's an amaro so you're not supposed to have more than one... it's supposed to aide digestion, not cause acute reflux!

but in saying that, i did have jager-night a few years ago with a friend. as i recall, it ended with me accidentally pulling the hand basin off the wall of the bathroom, and holding my friend's hair out of her face while she puked out her guts.

it's the cigarettes wot does it, not the jaeger.

ps you guys are all pussies. Jaeger is REALLY TASTY esp when it's been in the freezer.

i have a 1l bottle in my kitchen Right Now, next to the Bundaberg rum and the Apfelsaurer.

oh god every night of heavy smoking induced by heavy drinking resulted in my throat being swollen shut the next day. Only reason I am glad I quit.

11???

xxpost Yes, it's supposed to be served alone, in small quantities, and ice cold. If people drank it like that, or even remotely like that, it would be a whole different thing. As it is, Jager is trashy and filthy and slutty and gross.

A friend of mine who is notorious for being able to drink beer really fast apparently was given a bottle of jager and unwittingly finished it while walking down the street chatting with friends. I guess he was two sips into the second bottle when he said, "hold on, I gotta sit down" and almost immediately passed out on the curb.

Did I mention he's a hobo who counts drinking 40s under the bridge as a main pasttime?

great article! thanks

That filtering thing DOES WORK. I have done it many many times and also I think they proved it works on Mythbusters.

read thred plz

Haha sorry ILE, work has decided I need to work recently.

THE 151 STORY:

I spent Thanksgiving 1992 with my family visiting one of my dad's cousin's on Long Island. One evening my older brother and I were hanging out our hotel my dad's cousin's son (my... 2nd cousin once removed? I can never remember how that works) and one of his friends from high school. I was 19; everyone else was 24 or 25.

We decided that we're going to play a drinking card game but the only thing we had to drink is a bottle of Bacardi 151. My brother was freaked out about me getting shitfaced in the vicinity of our parents so our cousin's friend decided that in addition to doing his shots, he would do most of mine as well. I didn't care because straight shots of 151 are nasty.

As the game went on, the friend ended up consuming a little over half of the bottle. He periodically got up to go to the bathroom, every time progressively more unbalanced until finally he lost the ability to walk forward. Every step he took was actually to the side, leading him to power-shuffle straight into a wall. At this point, we bundled him up to our hotel room so that we wouldn't get kicked out. Dude sprawled out on a chair and passed out for several hours. Around 3:00 AM, he began to projectile-vomit all over himself and my brother's suitcase. We manhandled him into the bathroom and ran the shower over him for the next two hours.

The next morning we told our parents that our cousin's friend was so bedraggled and dishevelled because we stayed up all night talking, not because he was ferociously hung over. To this day, I wonder if they believed us.

PS: My brother threw out that suitcase.

6/10. Lacks a penis, a cheese fry analogy and a girl covered in vomit. Must try harder.

Man, that NY Mag article – CORAZON as the name of a liquor? HEART? That is terrible.

I admit the story loses a lot because I can't re-enact dude's deteriorating walk in text. It was amazing.

charlie no 4: see our FITE TO THE DEATH? we should do it on jagermeister ;)

i quite like the stuff, TBH. it's fun, like spending the entire night on the floor at a comedically cheesy rock club, wearing a suit. (the two, for me, tend to go together.)

i haven't had jager in a zillion years, but i used to like the drunk it gave me. kinda valium-y.

I still think the "Jager effect" is purely psychosomatic, like the old idea that absinthe was going to make you hallucinate. It's just booze.

Valium does give me severe ataxia...and that's about it. So I can see how a bunch of Jager (or any booze) could induce that. But jesus, Jager, you taste like ass and have the texture/color of polluting chemical runoff.

Jager is awesome but has nothing on this:

I have never even seen that until now. What is it like?

Even I refuse to drink anything called "Unicum".

It basically tastes like Jagermeister, only really really awesome. It's a liquer with the same general composition but a more palatable flavor.

John, I've known you for a long time now so it really saddens me to know that, at your core, when it comes to drinking you are a FILTHY POSER.

It basically tastes like Jagermeister, only really really awesome.

DOES NOT COMPUTE

We'll see who the FILTHY POSER is over labor day weekend, tough guy.

YOUR TONGUE HAS PUSSYBUDS

NIPSY RUSSELL SHOWDOWN, YO.

Well, actually, that drink is awesome, so that won't work. Maybe the alcoholic salsa shot will separate the wheat from the chaff.

1 part gin
1 part milk

TWO DRINKERS ENTER, ONE DRINKER HEAVES

pussybuds?

OH MY GOD

Gin Milk Punch

2 oz Gin
1 tsp Powdered Sugar
1 Cup Milk
Ice

Shake with ice and strain into a glass, and sprinkle with nutmeg.


o.O

More like gin milk punch in the fucking stomach.

There is a variant that replaces the gin with SCOTCH.

People really know how to fuck up some alcohol.

UGH.

Let me go see if I have any gin.

Milk is a good mixer with amaretto or Kahlua. Or both.

Actually, I dunno what you call this but:

1 part amaretto
1 part Kahlua
3 parts *warm* milk

Enjoy in a sweater in front of a fire while listening to Love Rock

Alone or with a friend, doesn't matter

just had the most amazing drink the other night - a "golden dream" - sooooo good. the ingredients, spelled out, sound like ASS but oh my goodness is it good.

1 part galliano
1 part grand marnier
1 part orange juice
1 part cream

shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, oh my goodness that's tasty - and take it from the top

Yeah, I've definitely had worse.

Results, with pictures, here: John Justen and Fluffy Bear Will Drink It

i am seriously considering buying a bottle on the way home tonight. am i crazy? haven't had any in well over a decade. hey, it's cold out and its new years! and i don't feel like drinking champagne. maria will have to match me shot for shot.

does anyone over the age of 22 even drink this stuff anymore?

maybe old german men after a hunt.

I like anything that tastes even kind of like black licorice.

Try some Finnish Salmiakki icecream. Or just dissolve some Fisherman's Friends Lozenges in 100% proof vodka, another local favorite.

does anyone over the age of 22 even drink this stuff anymore?

hi dere. Against my will though.

Last time I had Jager, I fell through a window.

Tip: stick to shots, not straight from the bottle.

My old german dad who hunts wouldn't touch that shit with a ten foot pole. It's vile and should only be used to punish one's enemies imo.

You know, the whole reason I tried it the first time was during my artskool semi-douche period and the deer reminded me of The Brothers' Quay "Institute Benjamenta."

Yes. It reminds me of this

http://www.almacendelibros.com/images/large/isbn978087/9780879515836-l.jpg

Also by the Bros. Quay.

last time I had jager I ate some cannabis and ran through a bush

Aw Jesse I'm glad I'm not alone in this. Also I fear I was a bit harsh on myself 2.5 years ago; I was never a 'semi-douche' or any portion douche for liking the Bros. Quay.

i bought a pint and put it in the freezer. we'll see how i feel. right now i'm drinking guinness/bass blak und tanz. and coffee. and i bought wine too just in case. and cheap champagne-esque sparkling wine from new mexico!

Haaa what is it called?
