I’m interested now, what _does_ happen when you mix baileys and lemon juice? I can’t imagine it being very nice.

Oh, and the whore’s milk could be a mixture of milk, orange juice (possibly the wost combination of 2 normal drinks) and absinthe for a bit of colour. It would look as though the whore was diseased.

Our college chem prof “taught” us about the Bailey’s and Rose’s Lime juice drink-- you take a shot of each in your mouth where you gargle them together for a half minute. He called it a “Cement Mixer.”  
Oh, go on and try it, someone. It’s great.

Also a shot of tequila and a lot of tabasco sauce (a “Prarie Fire”) is surprisingly drinkable.

I don’t drink alcohol, but I _love_ tonic water. I’ll drink it straight or with orange juice. The other day I had a tonic water/orange ice cream float. Marvellous!

Also, tonic water + roses lime = really good (though non-alcoholic).

Cod liver oil - as administred by your mother after getting directions from some sort of sadistic practitioner.

Any Tequila puchased in Chihuahua or Tiajuana (and of course consumed in its entirety within less than 90 mins.)

Milk, 151 and tobasco sauce is a Screaming Viking. Guaranteed to still be tasted at the end of a 21st birthday celebration!

I had something similar to this not so long ago. Called a “flatliner,” fill the shot glass about 1/2 way with some alcohol (there is a specific one, but I don’t recall what. Had about the same color as the tequila, not quite the same though), put some tabasco on top of that, top off the glass with Cuervo. If by “surprisingly drinkable” you mean that after drinking it you are surprised that you aren’t actually shooting flames out of your mouth and that not only does a bar actually serve such a concoction, but your friends also had one before, then yes it was “surprisingly drinkable.”

Our theory behind the palatability (is that even a word?) or G&T is that the foulness of the two either somehow counter out or multiplies to the point that the human body can no longer register it.

Butter and Wild Turkey whiskey. While visiting a cousin a friend of his was having a turkey shoot. Each person brought a bottle of Wild Turkey and a $20 bill. The money was set in the middle of the table with a clock. At the stroke of 8 and each minute there after each person took a shot of the whiskey. The first person to take the money and walk out the door without someone else saying something got the money. If you got sick you were automatically eliminated.

5 of us started. A kid of about 17 was the first to drop out after 11 minutes. Another quit at 13. At 15 I did not take a shot but no one noticed. About that time one guy blacked out, the kid ran to the bathroom to throw up and I wasn’t feeling too well myself so I went outside for some fresh air. Did I mention the house was about a quarter mile downwind from an oyster packing plant. I fertilized someones roses then passed out in the back seat of my cousin’s car.

About 4 hours later I was awakened by a police officer asking if I was alright. I actually didn’t feel to bad. I looked up and saw an ambulance and a couple cop cars. I went in the house to see what was going on. The kid had passed out in the bathroom, fell and cut his forehead. He was found when the wife of the guy hosting the party came home from work. My cousin was still passed out on the floor and the host was laying on the kitchen floor moaning. His wife had just poured water on him. Sitting on the table was the $100 and 5 almost empty bottles of Wild Turkey. I took the money and put it in my pocket, woke up my cousin and we went back to his place.

And the butter? My cousin had the idea of eating a stick of butter before going to the turkey shoot thinking it would coat our stomachs and prevent the absorbsion of the alcohol. It did not work.

Isn’t that called a Cement Mixer? You have to be really drunk to be stupid enough to try it.

“It is a curious fact, and one to which no one knows how much importance to attach, that something like 85 percent of all known worlds in the galaxy, be they primitive or highly advanced, have invented a drink called jynnan tonnyx, or gee-N-N-T’N-ix or jinond-o-nicks, or any one of a thousand more variations on the same phonetic theme. The drinks themselves are not the same, and vary from the Sivolvian “chinanto/mnigs” which is ordinary water served slightly above room temperature, and the Gagrakackan “tzjin-anthony-ks” which kills cows at a hundred paces; and in fact the one common factor between all of them, beyond the fact that the names sound the same, is that they were all invented and named _before_ the worlds concerned made contact with any other worlds.”

**ElwoodCuse** has, by far, the best obscure pop-culture quote.

And if you’re looking for the most terrible… awful… EVIL (and presumeably toxic) liquid:

(um… from what I’ve heard) Bong water.

I, for one, thinks that gin & tonic is hideous. Sorry, I’m an uncultured heathen who sticks with vodka.

But I’m pretty sure you sick bastards have come up with stuff that puts Clamato to shame.

\*\*Congac & Vodka \*\* mixed in a just washed jumbo sized “squeeze” type kethup bottle. Now that is hideous!

I was 15 and my best friend and I woke up the next morning on a park bench. I had a hangover for four days.
