- I think the gay guy/red wine bit is mostly imaginative. Not my crowd, but I understand that while fluid comes out of there rather easily, but because of the way the plumbing is set up it’s much more difficult to get any back in. Not that someone hasn’t probably tried.

- Wierd drinks I might try: I just saw an ad somewhere for “the world’s only potato vodka”. I heard about the “black” vodka a couple years back but haven’t found it anywhere: they say it turns your puke and shit black (Goth vodka?).
- There was the guy touring with the Jim Rose Circus, who would drink the -uh, I don’t know what it was, really- some kinda liquer, I thinks- and he would regurgitate it into a bucket and invite members of the audience to drink it, which many would. As to if they puked it up again, I dunno. He could also get it to squirt out of his nostrils, too. - Yum! - MC
It’s possible that you saw an ad for “the world’s only potato vodka,” but I would highly doubt that claim, as potatoes were, at one time at least, quite commonly used to make vodka. Russia still has potato vodka, but much more common is the typical stuff made from grains.
I have a friend who lives in California and either
claims to be or is a werewolf depending on your view
of the world. He’s probably second only to Cecil in his
knowledge of bizzare and useless facts. According to him,
there is a drink made with spiders. From anyone else, I wouldn’t believe it.
On the subject of black feces, I cite the Preacher special Good Old Boys. Garth Ennis shows vast knowledge of alcohol in his writing. When a character states that too much moonshine produces " a big, black, man eating turd." Ennis is likely speaking from experience
- Blak Sheeeet : moonshine might do it, I dunno. What I’m talking about was a jet black vodka that was being sold in Europe (it was a Brit magazine I read about it in). The vodka had something “completely organic” in it to color it black: you couldn’t see through a quarter-inch of the stuff. The name reflectd the color but I forget what it was called. - MC
OK, who wants to install the Japanese character set and go read that page. I need to know how to make this!
Quoth jayron 32:
Um, SqrlCub might debate that… According to him, it’s a “very intimate activity”… I’m not sure if he’s ever claimed to do it himself, though. I would also tend to doubt that he’s engaging in deliberate gay-bashing.
I’ll admit that you’re right about the gerbils (Uncle Cecil says so), and I’d never heard of the wine thing before. As to your statement that,
you’d be surprised what some folks find gratifying. Besides, maybe they don’t do it for gratification, maybe it’s just for the novelty of it.
I’ve heard of the wine thing also, at least up to the point of filling their bladders with the stuff through catheters. These were not homosexuals either. I warned them about:
A: Infection of the bladder. (It is sterile to the person.)
B: After A, potential infection of the Kidneys.
C: Improper catheterization – which must be sterile – can give one a urethral infection.
D: Improper catheterization can RIP the urethral lining and cause all sorts of interesting problems.
E: The alcohol content of the wine, unfiltered by kidneys and liver, could irritate the lining of the bladder.
They ignored me.
Perverts.
Some did it, claiming they could get a buzz off of the wine that way. (It's **much** more fun to drink it.)
I won't go into the wine enemas they played with.
These people, of course, are masochists.Come on Jayron, it was not my intention to bash anyone. I’m sorry if I stepped on anyone’s toes here. Why is it that you haven’t replied in response to Prism02 and defended the masochists? Being politically correct is a constant vigil and a bit too tiring for me, but feel free to carry the torch.
What about that Rain Forest tribe of people that chews up some kind of plant, and spits it back into a bowl where it ferments?
Is that the same group of people who literally drink their brew untill they projectile vomit? I swear, I’ve SEEN this in Nat’l Geographic.

This page has a good description (in English) of how to make a PousseCafe:
http://www.cocktail.com/misscocktail/PousseCafe.htm
There are a lot of cool recipes (with some interesting color variations) here:
For an amusing opinion of pousse cafe’s plus a long list of liquers in order of density:
Thanks, all. I guess my suspicions were correct; I’m going to have to start hanging at a better class of bar if I’m going to try one of those things. I’ve never heard of half those ingredients.
Just another quibble: sugar+water+yeast+time does not make vinegar. The vinegar comes from alcohol-eating bacteria, so they have to be in the mix somewhere.
See http://www.vinegar.at/info2.html for a pretty good description, or http://winemakermag.com/99winter/feature.htm for a detailed recipe.
As for naming the most revolting drink in the world, I can easily top all you blokes.
In Madagascar the highland tribes have . . . shall we say, unusual funerary customs. They put the dear departed one’s corpse out in the sun on an inclined trough. The body fluids trickle out and are collected in a bucket. And they drink it in honor of the deceased.
Beat that if you can.
No, I don’t think I can.
I think I’ll go barf now.
