The only drink that has ever made me forget a night out. I'm told by witnesses I drank a few shots (5+) on top of a large amount of vodka at about 10pm. The only thing I remember is being escorted out of a club by some nice bouncers, who took pity on the 22 stone wretch in front of them and collared me a cab to my mates house.

When I woke up with the ****tiest hangover in existence, I was told by my mates new girlfriend I arrived home at 3 am, with my flies undone, without their jackets which were left at the club by me, and with 4ft of arse wipe hanging out the rear waistband of my jeans. It took 3 days to clear my hangover and I still do not know what the fcuk I did for nearly 5 hours that night.

I'll not drink it again.

In the morning, I found myself waking up on the floor of my bedroom in my own sick and felt like cattle stampead had went over me. Found the bottle in the washing machine, apparently guests had to hide the bottle from me as I already had about 3/4 of the bottle, only a few others had a shot. I couldn't eat or drink for over 2 days, took me about a week to fully recover...Never again!!! Can't remember a thing but did have some interesting photos!!!

FPMSL!

Reminds me of the character Siadwell (pronounced Shadwell) in the Naked Video comedy series in the 80s. He was a Welsh loner living in a bedsit with thespian aspirations. He used to do a commentary sat on the end of his bed dressed in a parka or a lumberjack jacket. One episode he hit the Scotch and what you describe above is pretty much what happened to him. Classic!

I bought a bottle from France a year or so ago and was dissapointed having heard so much about it, it was just Pernod type stuff, you need to get the real gear.

If you live near Altrincham, give this place a try.

Having looked at the website that place looks so good I'm going to make a diversion next time I'm up there to visit it. Thanks for the tip, all I need now are links to other decent places UK wide.

I'll add my own, if you are ever in Somerset try this place

A bit poncey but the owner took me out to a local beer festival and got me paraletic so he's not up his own backside even if the attitude of the place seems like it is.......

Yup - 190 proof. Bought a bottle of something similar off a Russian fish factory ship skipper once. A wee tough Irish foreman who worked with us claimed he could drink a shot neat :cuckoo:.........................he tried and failed big style :lol1::lol1:

Muppet BBQs! :D Sadly I missed the first, but have some recolections of the second: Wibbledon - nearly 4 years ago now! :eek: Bet the search thing doesn't let you go back that far - there were some awesome pics! :thumb:

IIRC we used to manage to persuade someone to come all the way from Tenneriffe with a couple of bottles to make events go with a swing!

I found some old pics at home the other day and most peeps are lying on the floor - infact all you can see of IM are the soles of his shoes!! :lol1: And he blamed it on 'medication'.... :rolleyes: :D
