Fowllyd Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Following from the foods thread, what Drinks do you hate? Me :- Gin - almost as if I have an allergy to it, one sniff and barf. Advocaat - makes me shudder. Red Bull - likewise, though even more so. Gin - yes please, especially if it's Bombay Sapphire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Pernod. Or anything Aniseed for that matter. Went a bid mad with a bottle or 2 one night many years back, ended up with head in the toilet through the night barfing up with that rank smell of Aniseed. That's it now, any smell of it makes my stomach turn. Sunny Delight, how people use to consume that is beyond me. Pepsi Max gives me rotten headaches.

dubai_phil Posted 20 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 20 July, 2011 Yeah with you on the Pernod The Eastern Med has a similar drink, derivatives called Ouzo in Greece, Ravi Yaki in Turkey & Arak in Syria Lebanon & Jordan.... all much the same and all ..... Once got given a bottle of Sri Lankan Coconut Toddy (called Arrack) took it on one of my trips back to play Village Cricket - BAD idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigersaint Posted 20 July, 2011 Share Posted 20 July, 2011 I'm with Saintscott and Dubai phil on this one, I hate anything that smells or tastes like aniseed, disgusting stuff, so I don't go anywhere near Pernod, Ouzo or anything else even remotely similar. Gin, same again, hate it... I learnt a harsh early lesson when getting drunk after lifting an 80% proof Litre of Gordons Gin from my Dads alcohol cupboard, I necked half of it with orange juice at a School leaving disco in '86. I've never touched the stuff since, even the smell of it nowadays is enough to make me feel ill again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it now, any smell of it makes my stomach turn. . I have the same reaction with Carlsberg Special Brew .... even just saying the name makes me feel like chundering. Got absolutely blitzed on it as a teenager and every time I hurled chunks through the night all I could taste / smell was the sickly sweet Special Brew. Gin is well up there as well - the perfumed smell of gin makes me squeamish - not because i was mega sick on it - but the first time I ever tasted it (teenager years again!!) was necked straight from a bottle whilst stone cold sober in an attempt to catch up with my mates who had been on the sauce a few hours ahead of me. I really thought that they were on a wind up and had just mixed some water with a perfume!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Coffee with milk. Why do people feel the need to change the taste of coffee by putting milk in it? If you don't like the taste of coffee then don't drink it. What next? Putting ketchup on chips? FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithd Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Bacardi. nearly died after a binge. Mate found me choking on my own vomit and sorted me out. So to speak. So any sniff of that now makes me gag Guiness. Just fowl. Thick and creamy and tastes dead. I imagine its like the after taste porn stars get after a heavy day at the office Ribena. Reminds me of hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGun Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 I dislike Bacardi and the smell of it for similar reasons to Keith. Plus any sugary drink that cloys in your mouth. Flavoured waters for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 21 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Question for the Guinness haters. I also detested the stuff. Until I went to Ireland. The UK muck was brewed under licence and in comparison to the REAL stuff was like watered down gnats ****. I was surprised to find that I actually liked the proper stuff, but still only drink it under extreme sufferance in UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 +1 for Guiness. Always feel that anyone wanting it in a pub should have their own queue. There's few worse things in life than the bloke in front ordering 5 pints of the stuff when you next in the queue and gasping for a pint. Dr Pepper and Cherry Cola are horrible, I also hate those Oasis drinks - they are almost as disgusting as the band of the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 21 July, 2011 Share Posted 21 July, 2011 Lucozade reminds me of being poorly. Love grapefruit juice and in my ****ging days always had a carton in the bedside cabinet, its a genuine aphrodisiac. Sadly conflicts with my statins so its off the menu now, as is heavy ****ging. :-( Absolutely love milk from a bottle straight from the fridge and a mars bar.
