adios 717 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Speaking of mixed alcoholic beverages.. If you add shots of apple sours to Magners (the cider) it is by far the nicest drink ever.. including soft drinks, it's quite refreshing, which is the danger! Also, turbo shandys (Lager and Smirnoff ices) now they are lethal 171820[/snapback] I'd like to hear someone order one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themags 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Lad who used to work with me, used to order "woodgates", apparently the cocktail of drinks our departed defender was drinking the night he got in to a spot of bother with Bowyer I think it was basically several types of Bacardi Breezers and a Smirnoff Ice mixed in to two pint glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I used to drink Snakebite when I first started drinking and hadn't developed a taste for Larger in its own. Doesn't get me more pissed than anything else. I've recently come up with the theory that warm larger gets you more pissed and gives you a worse hangover than cold. No matter how many ice cold bottles of Peroni I drink in the house, I never get a hangover and hardly pissed. Yet I have a few half warm bottles of but in the town and I'm fucked the next day.

Renton 17783 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Has anyone ever heard about drinking a lot of Pernod, supposedly it crystalises in your stomach and you can get drunk the next day just by drinking a pint of water.

Alcohol is a liquid which is eliminated from the body at an approximately the same rate regardless of how much you have drunk from the moment you drink it. It can't hide somewhere in the body to reintoxicate you the next day. Perhaps the anis has its own intoxicating properties, but again, the effect here would be maximal within minutes or hours of drinking it, and wouldn't just arise out of a dormant state the next day. I reckon it's an old wives tale. Also regards mixing drinks. The only important aspect is how much alcohol you have drunk, nothing else is relevant. My mum reckons she can drink as much whiskey as she wants but will get pissed on half a lager. This, of course, is horse shit - she just can't accurately estimate how much alcohol she has drunk. People say that mixing drinks makes you more drunk and gives you a worse hangover. Nonsense - the fact is that if you are mixing your drinks you've probably had more than you usually would in ther first place. Although obviously some drinks can give worse hangovers than others, usually depending on their tannin content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WubbleUC 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) The first time I ever got pissed to the point of spins and sickness was when I was 14, and I'd been drinking Snakebite all day. Never touch it now because I've got this complex about it getting me fucking shitfaced. I'll drink a pint of Lager then a pint of Cider though..

I said in my first post on the matter that I thought it was nonsense made up by the drinks companies. The bit I've quoted above is utter bollocks, I know from personal experience, and I am quite an expert in this field. Unless you can give me an alternate reason why my mind and body react so differently to different alcohols? Are you saying that equal percentages of wine, vodka and lager will have the same physical and mental impact on everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that equal percentages of wine, vodka and lager will have the same physical and mental impact on everyone? 171937[/snapback] Well OK then, by far the most important factor is how much you have drunk and in what time period. I accept that some drinks are absorbed quicker than others (iirc 9% by volume drinks are absorbed at a maximal rate), but these differences aren't that important in the grand scheme of things. Whether you've eaten or not is probably more important tbh. If there really was a difference, would the government not make specific recommendations? The advice on drinking always boils down to how much alcohol you drink, not what form it is, because it doesn't matter. It's funny how you say you feel better the next day when you rehydrate with water. It always makes me feel worse, just another part of the hangover I have to cope with.
