Merry Christmas. Southern Comfort is horrible

I’m an argumentative old cow, but I genuinely enjoy talking to many people on here - so can I:

A) Wish you a Merry Christmas; and

B) Warn you that, if you run out of wine and decide a shot of something from the spirits cupboard will help you sleep, Southern Comfort is a bad choice? It’s like childhood medicine without the promise of feeling better 🤮🤮🤮

Happy Christmas! 🎄

Buy some Woodford Reserve.

Merry Christmas. Xmas Smile

Southern Comfort is liquid straight from the devil's arsehole. I can't even look at the bottle after a very unfortunate night when I was 18.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 25/12/2020 02:10

@Aquamarine1029 be glad you realised a whole 23 years before I did!

@StillCoughingandLaughing

I'm 47 and haven't touched the shit since I was 18.

Same here, but I was 22 Grin

Jack Daniels is the only nice whiskey imo!

Graphista · 25/12/2020 02:26

That's my ex's tipple which as he mostly spent his career in the army got him ripped the piss out of Grin

I'm on the baileys and may actually get to sleep before my usual 5/6am!

Insomnia is a bitch and the worst thing you can do is stress about the sleep you're missing, best to "go with it" and deal with it later apparently so I'm told (hasn't worked for me though)

sbhydrogen · 25/12/2020 02:28

Oh no, that's a terrible whiskey!

Get some peaty scotch whisky in your life; then you're in for a real treat.

Same here but I love it as the taste is an instant hit of nostalgia.

AlCalavicci · 25/12/2020 02:42

I use to love it neat until I over did it on my 30th ( I think ) I worked in a small pub at the time and every one kept buying it for me at one point I had 12 doubles sat in front of me and I valiantly tried to drink them all on top of the 3 or four I'd already had and a couple of pints .
I did not surface for two days. 🤮🤢

It isnt a whiskey, it's a fruit-flavored liquor.

lljkk · 25/12/2020 05:05

Send it to me. I have enjoyed SC quite a lot...

I polished off a bottle of wine with DD last night. I typically have 1 glass of wine before dinner & no more. I did not know that 'after dinner' I could get thru half a bottle. Xmas Shock

Bookworming · 25/12/2020 05:11

I've never liked southern comfort and neither has DH since a very unfortunate night when he was 23!

August20 · 25/12/2020 05:12

You need to mix Southern Comfort. We used to mix it with L&P.

Bookworming · 25/12/2020 05:13

@August20 what's l&p?

IHaveBrilloHair · 25/12/2020 05:16

L&P?
The only thing I can think of is the Worcester sauce and surely you don't mean that?Confused

Bookworming · 25/12/2020 05:17

Me too @IHaveBrilloHair Grin

IHaveBrilloHair · 25/12/2020 05:19

Or lemonade and pernod but wouldn't you say pernod and lemonade?
I need to know.

Bookworming · 25/12/2020 05:22

Maybe this?

Merry Christmas. Southern Comfort is horrible
ImRealHonest · 25/12/2020 05:23

YABU

If shooting the shot and not using it for mixing, I declare gin shots the absolute worst.

PatMustardsBigTool · 25/12/2020 05:33

I used to like it with lime and lemonade...think it was called a steamboat.

BasiliskStare · 25/12/2020 05:37

@StillCoughingandLaughing & @Aquamarine1029 & others - If you can read through to the reviews - this is funny - makes Souther Comfort look like an aged Amarone www.amazon.co.uk/GREAVES-CO-Barrettine-Methylated-Spirit/dp/B002ATI4VG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?tag=mumsnetforu03-21&ie=UTF8
