Merry Christmas. Southern Comfort is horrible

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

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! 🎄

Best cocktail ever - drunken Apricot.

Apricot sitting in southern comfort.
Flute topped up with champagne.

Heaven.
Favourite cocktail bar in the early 90's near Leicester Square, called something like Nautilus, great for pre-theatre drinks.

Southern comfort, lime and lemonade or swizzles as we called it was one of the biggest influences of my late teenage years.

I agree. I got scammed thinking it was a whiskey in Namibia. The poor waiter with broken English couldn't understand why I was so upset telling him he got me the wrong drink. I left a big tip

It is indeed revolting stuff.
Merry Christmas!

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.

Exactly the same here.

Except I was nearer 30

When we were 16 dbro got drunk on Southern Comfort and apple tango. I have never seen anyone vomit quite so much 😁

Southern Comfort lime and lemonade 😋 yummy.

Yeap same here 😁.

I love southern comfort with lemonade!

As teens we used to be very fond of a Gatsby or two: Southern Comfort, dry ginger and lime (cordial). The last time two times I drank SC (definitely not in my teens!) I was bloody blootered and threw up the next day. Wouldn't touch it again 😑.

@MargotLovedTom1 Gatsbys sound lovely!

Vodka and orange juice is my ‘can’t even stand the smell of it’ drink

You were all clearly more sophisticated than me 😂

My unfortunate night was at 17. It was the only thing in the cabinet at home that no-one ever touched so I thought I could get away with drinking it. I think the phrase then was ‘I spewed my ring’ or some such.

Just the smell of it over 30 years on makes me cowk.

It's the most sick Ive ever been in my entire life. Full on alcohol poisoning. N Y Eve, and I was about 21

I also got stuck by ice/frost to a car bonnet (face down) on the same night under the influence. And puked inside my best friend's partner's new coat

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery they are/were! Southern Comfort does seem to have a fairly emetic effect if this thread is anything to go by .

I drink southern comfort and coke, I’m on my second of the night. I can’t drink Jack Daniels due to over doing it in my early 20’s 🤮

I'm take one for the team OP and drink it for you.

Southern Comfort and Cherry 7up is the fucking bomb.

DH loves Southern Comfort. I'm not a fan, although I don't mind it with lime and lemonade. We always bicker good-naturedly over whether that's called a Steamboat (me) or a Swizzle (DH).

@Linnet thats me with vodka and coke - just the smell makes me heave after a very messy 20th birthday.

The trouble ive been in due to southern comfort. It does have an evil switch

@PatMustardsBigTool oh yes I was just about to say as a steamboat it’s lovely! Couldn’t drink it straight though.

DP loves it (there's a bottle under the tree for him from my parents!). I wouldn't choose it as a drink but I've had the odd sip of his SoCo & mixer of choice and it wasn't unpleasant! He really likes it, I might have to show him this thread!

😂🤣😂 I’m so sorry, but this image has me Mutley laughing. I’m not sure whether to ask why you were face down on the bonnet in the first place or just quietly move on 😁

it certainly sounds... interesting maybe I’ll try it at home near a toilet

I fell into a bath in someone’s house many years ago after drinking SC and couldn’t get out. Poor fuckers who were waiting for the toilet after me 🙈. I did indeed (as a PP said( puke my ring up afterwards 🤮🤮🤮

Oh god, this is bringing back... er, bringing it back

Let’s just say vodka and orange tastes the same both ways.

And being drunk in a friends bathroom with floral tiles, border, wallpaper, mat, blinds, even bloody bog roll, all in different floral patterns (it was the 90s, but still...) does NOT help.

I should remember this more, at least it’s put me off my gin
