Absinthe.
I thought I was going to die… I wish I did at the time.
UGH!!!
Similar to FranticMad, a girl … and yet I continue to go back for more…
Ouzo. Missing time. Haven’t touched it since. The smell makes my stomach quesy and gives me flashbacks.
A non-alcohol-related painful memory:
A neighbor and I were smoking pot. I started feeling REALLY queasy. I swear I was melting, and not in a good way. When I went to bed I thought I had bugs crawling on me. I also thought I could hear them breathing. Found out the next day that he had laced it with PCP.
Alcohol-related painful memory:
Potato vodka from the Ukraine.
Homemade potato vodka from the Ukraine.
Homemade potato vodka from the Ukraine that had been bottled ohhhh 25 years earlier.
(shudder)
I can’t do tequila shots anymore. I was hungover for three days last time I did shots at a party all evening.
I drank Black Russians at the 9:30 Club in DC one night when I was about 18. I have no recollection of how I got home; I just remember being violently ill all the next day.

by themselves all was ok
but combined they formed Hell in a glass that caused me to die several times before somebody somewhere pulled some strings and decided to suffer mostly alive instead
I had to revisit that lovely product last month. It has been years, and the snakebite is still as sweet.
Vodka Cranberry and sours. Had about 15 of them one night, shortly before I moved cross country. I was throwing up for a day and a half, and the headache stayed for close to a week. I haven’t touched vodka since.
Approximate timeline:
1 PM: Eat lunch.
8 PM (I’m driving back to school): Stop at a gas station and eat two York Peppermint Patties for dinner (goddamn, I used to love those things).
8:48 PM: Arrive back at dorm.
9:20 PM: Friend brings a handle of Jim Beam to my dorm room. He, another friend and I commence taking shots while watching the NBA All-Star Game.
…15 or so shots later…
Actually, I really don’t remember much of went on that night. I recall crowding into another dorm room a floor down and watching idiots pay ugly girls to make out. Then, I go back to some girl’s room and lie down on her fouton. I calmly walk to her trash can and hurl–an enchanting mix of Beam ‘n’ Mint. I think someone must have carried me to my dorm room, because when I awoke I was somehow in my bed. Also, I had a goddamn wicked 4 day hangover that kept me from doing work, studying, reading, eating, or really doing anything that required I concentrate for more than 15 seconds at a time.
To this day (about a year later), I’m still a bit sheepish about drinking whiskey, and I’ve only recently overcome my aversion to Peppermint Patties.
A mixture of beer and really really really cheap Sambucca.
Oddly, it’s Coca-Cola.
I don’t get truly ferocious hangovers from alcohol, although I rarely have major binges on spirits and I don’t drink wine, I have been known to drink black beer in quantities that have felled lesser mortals who weigh 50 kg more than I.
Given that, I get my worst hangovers from drinking soft drinks, especially Coke. And even they’re not too bad. Go figure.
OMG
Tequila. 30 years ago. From a mug of all things. I have never been so ill in my entire life. I have never touched it since, I still feel queasy at the memory.
Shocking stuff.
Sherry.
The WORST hangover I’ve ever had came from drinking sherry with friends one evening. I was sick that night and almost all the next day. Add to the nausea the violent hammer-pounding-on-anvil headache, and you’ve got a woman determined NEVER to go through that again.
LOTS of red wine and Kamibaze’s. Ugghh, very bad hangover.
Ahem
6 Budweisers
6 Hornsby draft apple ciders
1 750 ml bottle Bailey’s (STRAIGHT!)
All this in the span of about 1.5 hours
Decided to put my head down for a minute to “rest my eyes”
Was apparently dragged into the bathroom by my sister-in-law and cousin after I started puking in my sleep. Hung over for 3 days
Another time…
3/4 bottle VERY CHEAP pink champagne
1/2 liter VERY CHEAP gin mixed with Diet Pepsi
Didn’t puke, but was hung over for 2 days.
THis was about 11 years ago. I have never been able to drink Bailey’s again. I just started being able to drink (good) gin in mixed drinks. The smell still gets me though…
MM
Ouzo is way up there, but the winner is Scotch. I drank it warm out of a tankard because the limey bastards I was with told me that’s how Scotch is supposed to be drunk.
To this day, the thought of Scotch makes me want to urp.
Beer. About 2-3 gallons of it on an empty stomach.
I got seriously fu**ed up on an enormous bottle of Manischewitz.
I’m not Jewish, I just though there wasn’t enough Maddog in a bottle of Maddog, and needed a very, very, very big bottle of something. Manischewitz was it.
It was the worst case of Blood Alcohol poisoning I ever had, and I had many cases of those.
my bandmates homebrew. it was really good but potent. i was sick for days. first time i ever puked through my nose
