I was at the bar the other night and the cocktail waiter brought one of the girls at my table the wrong drink. She had asked for a shot of Red Bull and Jagermeister, but he brought it out in a pint glass. “Don’t throw it away, that’s alcohol abuse”, says I. Mistake. Man that was some nasty shit. What’s the nastiest drink you’ve ever tried? ---

I love jaegermeister but there’s no way in hell I would ever pollute it with Red Bull. People that do that confuse the hell out of me… they might as well add urinal water to the drink. Bleh. Personally, I can’t stand vodka so any cocktail with it as its base will make me gag. Even the good stuff like Grey Goose. It tastes like rubbing alcohol to me and I just can’t handle it. I also hate whiskey. It makes my head feel like it’s about to explode. ---

Ardred was making whiskey sours last night. That was the foulest thing I have ever tasted. The amaretto sours were quite good, though. Whisk[e]y straight makes me cry. (I get very emotional. Strange). ---

I like Boilermakers - cheap draft beer and cheap whiskey, mixed and served in a pint glass. Some of you probably find that disgusting enough as is. I ordered a Boilermaker once in Canada and they served me some foul-tasting mixture of beer, coke, Jagermeister and whiskey, filling the glass about halfway. ---

Snakebite & Black: Cider, lager and blackcurrant cordial, typically all of the cheapest type available. AWFUL. ---

Buffalo Sweat: a shot of tequila (for me, that’s gross already) topped off with Tabasco sauce. ---

A friend’s roomate was a guy of Romanian ancestry. He went there and visited his uncle, bringing back a water bottle full of some stuff that the uncle had distilled from prunes. It was horrid. I’m sure the plastic bottle didn’t help things at all, either. Nobody had any idea how strong it was, but it seemed a hell of a lot nastier than Bacardi 151. ---

Obviously it’s a err, I forget the name, “Hairy Dog”. Basically you ask the bartender to pour the spillings mat into a glass and you’ll do the shot. ---

> [@GUINNESS](#): > > …isnt that a “red headed slut”…i could be wrong I don’t know. My fiancee is a bartender, but I can’t ask her until she gets off. **Aesiron** , I agree. Jagermeister is great by itself, I’ve been known to down whole bottles of the stuff. Mixing it with Red Bull for one shot wouldn’t really be too bad either, though I wouldn’t order it like that. Downing a pint glass of the sickly sweet concoction, however, is indeed “too bad”. Blegh. It’s been over a week and I can still taste it. **Ace309** , your definition of Boilermaker is the correct one, though we sometimes do it with good beer and good whiskey, like Guinness and Jameson. Oh wait, that’s an Irish Car Bomb. 😉 I’m planning on pulling a bender tonight, and some of these are making me sick before I take my first sip! ---

My ex is a bartender, and I watched him make something called a bloody brain once. Jeigermeister, Bailey’s and two drops of grenadine. Ew. ---

> [@Eleusis](#): > > **Ace309** , your definition of Boilermaker is the correct one, though we sometimes do it with good beer and good whiskey, like Guinness and Jameson. Oh wait, that’s an Irish Car Bomb. 😉 Irish Car Bombs are one of my favorite drinks, even though I can only do one early in the evening, and that’s it. I know them as: Pint glass filled 2/3 full of Guinness. Shot glass filled halfway with a good Irish whiskey (Jameson’s or Bushmills) and topped off with Bailey’s Irish creme liqueur. Drop the shot glass into the pint (don’t pour it; drop the entire glass down to the bottom) and CHUG CHUG CHUG as if your life depended on it. Tastes kinda like chocolate milk! But I’ve had bartenders who had no idea what these were, or they’d just pour a little Jameson’s into a normal pint of Guinness until we explained different. ---

I’m sure the plastic bottle didn’t help things at all, either. Nobody had any idea how strong it was, but it seemed a hell of a lot nastier than Bacardi 151. That was probably slivovitz. It is indeed brutally harsh stuff. In my (thankfully limited) experience, Yugoslavian slivovitz is slightly less painful than Romanian, but neither should really be taken internally. They might be good for stripping paint or something of that nature. ---

Ouzo is some nasty shit. Of all the foul drinks I’ve had in my life, it’s the only one I couldn’t finish. ---

> [@Bruce\_Daddy](#): > > That crap that’s served warm and smells like licorice. Ugh. It has beans in it? What the hell is that? That is indeed Sambucca. Those beans are coffee beans, and it’s often served flaming. Those coffee beans aren’t just garnish, you’re expected to eat them. Sounds good to me, except for the fact that I’m not a big fan of licorice OR drinks with enough alcohol in them to support combustion. The nastiest drink to me? Beer. Any kind of beer. The only kind of beer I’ve been able to stomach is Red Dog, and I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. What the **hell** do you people see in it? Sour and bitter, with a nasty taste which must certainly be the polar opposite of _umami_. Close second is whiskey. My mom drinks Canadian Mist and Diet Coke. I can’t even drink a weak Jack & Coke without holding my nose. ---

I think a ‘Flatliner’ is the most disgusting drink I have ever had, its (I think) vodka, tabasco sauce and sambuca. The tabasco floats on the sambuca which in turn has vodka floating on it leaving a strip of hot tabasco in the middle. I like vodka, I like sambuca, I like tabasco (in food) but combined together? Barf… ---

I love your replies! A drink I forgot to mention which I don’t think anybody’s touched on it yet, is more a of a prank to play on the unsuspecting (read: 21st Birthday). **Cement Mixer** One shot glass Baileys One shot glass Rose’s Lime Instruct victim to hold shot of Baileys in mouth, and then take the second shot of Rose’s, mixing them in their mouth. It congeals instantly to form _cottage cheese_. Lesser bartenders will attempt to mix the shot in a single shotglass. This is not acceptable. It must congeal _inmoutho_. 😉 The sad thing is that I’ve actually imbibed 90% of the concoctions presented thus far. Notable exceptions include “Flatliners” and "Snakebite & Blacks. “Buffalo Sweat”, mentioned above, is indeed one of the nastier things I’ve tried. ---
