Demon Alcohol

[Chris Misfit]

Not to start a "I did this, you did that" competition, but I've done absinthe, me and three friends drunk half a litre one night. It was around 90% proof. The stuff that makes you hallucinate (sp?) Legally, you're only allowed to buy 2 shots of this in one night, but the barman didn't read the bottle until after we had drunk it (i Can remember his expression) . I don't remeber how many shots we had, but we had quite a few, and to be honest I don't even remember leaving that bar, but we did. But the first thing the barman said to me next time I was in was "Were not getting it again" not because we did anything bad, but because we were sober one minute, absolutely fucked 10 minutes later. I do remember having trouble holding it down, coz it stunk, like drinking acid, and I never puke when drinking, ever.

I managed to drink that night until dawn, I ended up at some poor smucks house party. How, why, when, I do not know, but I've never touched that stuff since, it's a true killer.

Yeah i had 3 large shots of absinthe (70%- 75%) proof in Tenerife a couple years back (Plus several beers) and i remember waking up in the morning not being able to see over 20m in distance for about an hour - it did something to my eyesight?

I have never touched it since - worst drink i have ever tried is something called 'Knobs-creek' Vile stuff.

We did a pikey/tramp night a while ago, and all we were only allowed to drink, was a cocktail of 'White lightening cider' mixed with 'Tennents super larger'

Both very cheap and very strong and very horrible - give it a go?

Edit: forgot the 'e' on the end of 'Absinthe'?

Isn't real absinthe something more than just alcohol?  My understanding is that in the early 1900's a lot of French poets would get hooked on it, and eventually go crazy, because of the other drugs in it.  Now there is a lot of things marketed as absinthe, but they just have a high alcohol content, versus being "real" absinthe.  Or am wrong?

[Chris Misfit]

The real stuff is illegal in many countries, hence the reason you find so many watered down types, the US is one I believe. It has some elements that make up heroin in it, or so I've heard.

The stuff we drank that, I think is possibly illegal, because my friends tried to get it in other bars, and they claimed that the drink we had that night was illegal to sell. I dunno.

Absinthe is Greek for "undrinkable". Although, I don't speak Greek so that could be a lie.

It is believed that Van Gogh cut off his ear because he went crazy from drinking the stuff.

Mixing lager and cider = Snakebite. And you couldn't have chosen two more disgusting drinks to mix. White Lightning is a killer cider, that stuff will fuck you up.

I need to find some of this.

Check out this link http://www.a1b2c3.com/drugs/abs01.htm for info on absinthe.? ?It looks like it has a lot more than just opiates (heroin) in it.? Wormwood sounds tasty.

Mixing lager and cider = Snakebite.

Around here, a snakebit is Wild Turkey whiskey with lime juice.  Guess we're just weird.

Yes, you're correct - the 'snakebite' in the trampy style - Tramps drink these kinds of cheap, strong beverages!!

Well, since we're discussing the Demon Alcohol, here's a story I read in my local newspaper today.

A 23 year old college kid went out drinking with two of his buddies, drinking liquor and beer all night at several bars.? His buddies had to carry him out after the third bar, and he never woke up.? He was found dead in his dorm room in the early morning hours.? They're still conducting the autopsy, but it's widely presumed that he died of alcohol poisoning.

This kid is my boss's nephew.

im only 17 (31 days till im legal!) and i drink often enough like once every 2 weekends cause we have to take turns driving! ive dont do stupid stuff when im drunk unless there is some creapy guy touchin one of my friends or me then i go a little angry mode! but other than that i just laugh a lot... and have a good time... sure there have been times where i get a little moody and just go to bed... but nothin too stupid that i can remeber!

[Mr Cowbell ?]

I remember one time making a trip to another state to pick up the liquer called EVERCLEAR.? The 95% alcohol 190 proof drink that burns blue. I drank a whole bottle of it while watching some movie at the movie theatre......

You're full of shit................

If you actually travelled to another State to get some booze, then I'd imagine that you'd be picking up more than a flask. Otherwise the trip itself wouldn't make much sense now would it? Jesus! Even a twenty-sixer would seem a little frivolous.........

In any case, if you drank a 'whole bottle' of that shit - i.e. a 26 or 40 ouncer - you'd have to get fuckin' pumped out..............

Moreover, I seriously doubt that you dragged a 26 or 40 ouncer into a movie theatre with ya........... ...........where did you hide it? In your fucking sock?..........

So, we now come come back to one of only two conclusions (one of which I already covered in the first line of this post......... ), and that's the flask.............

Yes you could have easily smuggled a flask into a theatre. Previous experience on my part tells me that. However, unless you're some kinda fucked-up mutant with the constitution of a cast-iron pot-belly stove, you just ain't gonna polish off a flask of 95% alcohol............

OK let me anwser your questions one at a time. I live in Michigan and go to this casino in Indiana called BLUE CHIP. Its about an hour drive. On the way back I picked up 5 bottles of Everclear the 350 ml size bottles.

You dont need a flask. I fill up a sprite bottle with everclear and top it off with just a little sprite on top. It's easy to walk into a movie theatre in the mall, (like a cinemark.) with a bottle of "sprite"

Yes everclear burns like hell the first shot but after drinking it and you are buzzed it doesn't burn. Let me add here I am 6'2'' 250 lbs. so you don't need an iron stomach to drink it, just a stupid brain.

What do you guys think of Night Train? I have no idea how they get away with calling that stuff wine

My friends drink it they say it makes you feel like you are on acid (which I didnt feel)

Well, that's certainly a more believable story than:

I woke up about 12 hours later home in my bed. Dirt and little rocks stuck in my skin. Cuts on my handss. I wondered what happened in them hours and found out.


We went to Steak N Shake where I ordered 3 kids meals for some reason and didnt eat any of them, and I was threatening people and breaking plates on the ground. Having the cops called on me.

Threatened my friends and tried fighting them at my house.

Threw up all over the drive way and crawled through gravel.

Got rolled over on my back a few times so I didnt pull a Bon Scott.

Had good enough friends to take care of me and bring me into my room.

Woke up 12 hours later with a headache and in pain and that was the last time I was "drunk" . Although I still drink I usually only drink 1 maybe 2 beers while at the bar for 3-4 hours.

Other than telling that you're not short & fat, what does your height have to do with anything?

EDIT: Absinth was just the brand-name of the stuff we were drinking......(As far as I know)....

i cant spell it, but has anyone ever heard or tried a 'SA- TRUSE', pranounced like that but spelt totally different, knocks you the fuck out.

For my 21st, my mate invented me a coctail, i still dont know the mix but it was a full bucket with ice n' a  little end of a straw on the top from a 1.25 coke bottle in it, the steam from the ice didnt help and no bastard will tell me what i drank 'cause it was that strong n' fucked up i chucked up 30 mins later.

I tried Absinthe (supposedly the real stuff) last night to celebrate the completion of my album (see my soon to exist topic in Nice Boys)

Wow.  That stuff will fuck you up pretty damn nice.  Between four of us, we went through a couple of bottles.  It was disgusting.  I don't know if this was "real" absinthe, or watered down, or how pure, or what.  I mainly felt drunk though it was a different kind of drunk than normal.  I blacked out most of the night, but I woke up here at home, and I have the strangest lingering feeling, that's actually kind of nice.  Not a hangover.

Anyway, that's my story.   

[Evolution]

Sounds good!


Well when i started drinking at 16 i had a stupid gung ho attitude to it. I would down a Vodka bottle in 10 minutes. Fucking stupid. Blackouts were the norm until i got a beating from some idiot which wised me up.

Recently i drank to much too early and slapped a friend. Thankfully we are cool again but i know i fucked up bad. Nowadays i just drink till i am pretty merry and drunk  Better feeling, i remember the night and it's easier on the wallet. When i drink too much i become a alcohol hoover and get aggressive which sucks.

Hmm.....i fancy a wee bevvy tonight actually

Most people seem to black out on this stuff.

I remember seeing an interview with Lemmy and he said he blacked out, ran through a hotel naked and then pooped in a closet somewhere. 

[Rob]

I guess I'm lucky that I never seem to get aggressive when I'm drunk.  I get loud and stupid, but I never say or do shit that gets me in trouble.
