I used to drink Stag and blackcurrant, then added peppermint (for a dodgy stomach) and then added lime to make it taste better. No wonder I had a dodgy stomach!!!! We used to go The Sheds and then on to the Grove. Don't know how I didn't spend my nights in the girls toilets. Anybody else any strange combination back then (or now) |

I'm a bit more boring now with just bacardi and 7up, or dry white wine, or anything from a dirty old boot!!!! |

I went on a 5-a-side / drink weekend to the Isle of Man long time ago and one night we were drinking Snakebites (cider& lager) and Pernod & Blackcurrant.
Doesn't sound too bad, but this was all in the same pint glass ![]() ![]() CP |

Remember drinking Depth Chargers in Moscow...............and not that long ago either. A shot of Vodka, still in the glass is dropped into a pint of lager. You can figure the rest out yourselves. |

Try a shot of Jaegermeister. Taste like a mixture of cough medicine and meths (don't ask). Was introduced to it by a mad corkman while a group of us were skiing in Austria (fantastic place to go) Couldn't taste anything for about 2 years tho' |

Watermelon Gin I do remember one time in the US buying a whole water melon. Cutting a small hole in the top and pouring a whole bottle of gin into it. Letting it to soak for a couple of hours, then eating great big wedges of it with the gin rolling down your arms. Lethal on a hot day- Edited by freebird |

Don't like gin but I'll try that with Bacardi. Nice for the summer barbies!!! Will give you a shout when I try it. |

Vodka (Huzzar) with Fanta Orange ... yuck !!!
Was a desperate case of there being no coca cola, pepsi or even Club Orange around. Result = dizzy head, heebie jeeby stomach for 2-3 days later, collapsed on the floor before even heading off to the Grove. It took me several years to get over my distate for Vodka after imbibing that horrid mix. It has taken a lifetime to get over Fanta. Hate the stuff with a passion along with its evil sister "Lilt" ![]() Cool Neat (non diet) Club Orange = lovely (my favourite non alcoholic pub drink) Ice cold Stolichnaya vodka neat = sudden rush of admiration for the old Soviet state ![]() If the Grove had been based in Mayo God forbid I'd say some of us would have had war stories about nasty poteen mixes. I've yet to try any of that evil stuff!!! |

My parents didn't drink, so there was nothing in the cabinet.
Used to go to the Beachcomber. Drank Smithwicks back then I think. Used to go to Hijacks, drank dodgy wine and sangria - think I said this before on another thread. |

It always amazes me how anyone could destroy a perfectly good drink like Guinness with sugary blackcurrant.... Pure sacrilege...eek!! |

With you on that HD. As for the rest of you - dipsos!! Anyone ever tried a drink called Unicum? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicum Its really lethal stuff - the label has a medicine cross on it! We have some in our spirits collection - rather himself does, he got it in Hungary years ago - it has to be tasted to be believed! It used to make an appearance at house parties in the pre childer days..... wicked hang overs for all the next day. |
