What are you drinking right now?

[VAiN]

So, as to not dilute the food thread, lets kick-off a drink thread! I'll start...

Before


After

I have only been drinking coke all day. i have a bad hangover, have vomited 4 times. Coke helps, right? If you can keep it down.

Yesterday I drank champagne, wine and Ouzo.

No! Ginger Ale lol...

[FORD]

Ginger anything, actually. It's the ginger that settles your stomach.

Here's my recommended hangover breakfast supplement.....



The ginger will settle your stomach, the cranberries will clean your kidneys, and the fat in the almonds and macadamias will help absorb any alcohol left in your system.

[envy_me]

No! Ginger Ale lol...

Lol, we don't have that here. It's like eastern Europe, we don't have anything

[envy_me]

No! Ginger Ale lol...

You were absolutely right about this. Apparently ginger is used for nausea. We don't have Ginger Ale, but I just made some ginger tea, since I do feel sick now that I have the flu.

Always nice to sent that information viral.......

Ugh! Sounds like you over did it with a nightmare combo!

Is it a nightmare combo? Had no idea. Well, now I know. What did I do wrong?

Anytime you mix different types of alcohol, it's a risk.

And by types, I mean the general type. Wine vs beer vs the hard stuff. You can mix it up within the categories, like Vain is doing with the beer sampling. Or different types of wine. Or even shots followed by mixed drinks like a margarita or whatever. But mixing the types always ends up in trouble. Damned if I know why... maybe the liver is just protesting about not knowing which type of alcohol it has to process?

I started with champagne, went on to wine and ended with Ouzo shots. Ouzo is the last thing I remember from yesterday. It was just three of us, me and one girl were both feeling bad today. But not this third girl, she drank one bottle of wine, some champagne and just a half shot of Ouzo. And she was feeling great this morning.

I suppose my next question would be what you ate before, or immediately after drinking. Foods with a high fat content are best for absorbing alcohol out of your system, so it's not a bad idea to eat something before you pass out if you drank a lot. And for breakfast if you don't.

And if the third girl wasn't a vegetarian like yourself, and had a bacon double cheeseburger or something like that, it would explain the difference. Or maybe she's just got a stronger liver that processed the booze better.

Back in my heavier drinking days, me and my friends had this down to a science.... we would either hit the Jack in the Box drive through after the bar, or if we were buying more beer at the grocery store anyway, grab some microwave burritos with it. Never had a hangover - at least once I stopped settling for shitty beer.

You made the classic mistake of mixing too many kinds of drinks. You probably would have been fine if you steered away from the ouzo. If you have been drinking wine you really don't want to follow it up with something else; especially something like ouzo.

I hate to say it but my hangover remedy was to drink a beer. LOL! The old standby of black coffee is still good. Sometimes just getting a little food and sipping on orange juice helps.

I get pukey just thinking about ouzo.. Man that stuff is nasty!

[Hardrock69]

Back in 1997 when I was engaged to this chick, I had stopped in to the jewelry shop where I bought her engagement ring. The owner was a Greek immigrant, and he was about ready to close up for the day, and he asked me if I wanted to do a shot of Ouzo with him.

I said sure thing.

Was not bad. Different, to be sure, but I did not have any problems with it.

I do not like to drink hard liquor straight, but a shot of something or other once in awhile is not bad.

[LoungeMachine]

Mix equal parts Ouzo with Chambord



It tastes like the Good N Plenty Candy.....

Remember, it's not so much the ALCOHOL that causes your hangovers, its the SUGAR

Hydrate, drink quality hooch, stay away from anything with HFCS such as Margarita mixes or Curacao....

[FORD]

And for wine drinkers (which includes coolers and all that sort of shit) sulfites are a big problem.

I'm allergic to that shit in general, so thank God for beer

[LoungeMachine]

Thank God for beer

AMEN

You know what, I don't understand that. HOW can so many people find beer tasty??? It's absolutely gross. It's pretty bitter taste, you can taste the alcohol, it smells badly. Okay, if there was one small minority that liked it, people with strange taste, but SO many people??? What is so good about it? It's not even sweet.

The problem with Ouzo is it's pretty high proof but because it's sweet and tastes like licorice it's easy to drink too much of it. For some reason it's not as easy to drink as much whiskey or even vodka of the same proof. You drink the liquid candy and then all a sudden a two by four slams you and you are fucking drunk.

The thing is when I drink any kind of alcohol, I have to wash it down with something sweet like soda. Even when I drink Baileys which I like, I have to take soda after every sip.

Rum and Coke or Jack and Coke is what you should drink.

Dude, das boot is where it's at! 1 liter of beer goodness. This German place has beer tours and I'm like Rambo with that shit!

I can dig it!! I used to have my pic up on the wall at a local joint and my own permanent seat at another. Brass plaque on the bar with my name at the second. Man those were the days...

[Nickdfresh]

It's $1.50 Guinness at the local pub, goodnight!

[DLR Bridge]

Nuthin' fancy tonight. Bud Light Platinum. Finally, a light beer that doesn't taste like water. 6.0% alcohol. Not too shabby.

[Zing!]

Just cracked open a Red Stripe.

I love Red Stripe. I have a few stubbies of that around here. I'm drinking Sol at the moment.

[VAiN]

The king of shitty beers, Budweiser. The only other choice is Bud Lite. It's a no-win.
