Zombie is old. Zombie is grumpy. She freely admits to those.

Zombie also has one tit left and there are a few posters who are really, really getting on it.

It's getting to the point that she's about ready to take an extended MN holiday just for the sake of her blood pressure and her sanity.

Please, please may we have a hide poster button?

"pretty much 40% proof so 3 indeed will get you sloshed"

I guess it comes down to quantity in 3, but my first impression was lightweight :)

Remembered my 18th birthday when I had 18 shots of Southern Comfort (also 40% proof) (+lemonade, though some would moan about it) and was still in college the next morning at 8:45... 18 should surely get close to 3 vodka martinis... in terms of volume...

OK, it was 30+ years ago and might do me some serious damage now (as I don't regularly drink anything much stronger than 15% Southern Comfort)

18th birthday drinking S'Cumfort ?

What's wrong with cider and black, followed by pernod ? It certainly makes for interesting coloured vomit on the carpet... pity my mum didn't agree. Bloody blackhearted woman.

Strangley enough, I haven't been able to let one more drop of pernod cross my lips in nearly 30 years.

25th birthday.

Mescal. That's the type of tequila with the worm in the bottle.

Zombie had 2 worms.

She was hung over for a week. She still can't even smell tequila without retching.

Ah, 25th birthday I don't remember it well. Started shots of JD at about 5 and ended them about 0200.

I don't remember the next two days....

"When it comes back neat up your nose it stings like hell"

Fortunately have never had that experience, and have only ever been sick from drinking the once... Not bad in 36 years...

NetworkGuy · 05/01/2013 09:37

cider and black, AF?

I have never touched lager or beer (after a summer job working in a pub at 16)...

I like cider and SC (not mixed!) and Baileys (and had about 4 litres of a similar Irish cream in the last 2 weeks).

Pinot · 05/01/2013 10:44

Did you eat the worms? I'm A Zombie Get Me Out Of Here-style?

I got smashed on Mateus Rose on my 16th birthday I went to dinner with my warring parents. I think we all needed alcohol tbh Hmm :o

Fiderer · 05/01/2013 11:40

Funny how a certain amount of over-indulgence can put you off a drink for years.

I drank a fair amount of cider as a student in the West Country, then a irresponsible amount of Arack (like unrefined Ouzo) in the Middle East, then a hefty amount of vodka in the Cold War years in the Cold War countries.

Only in the last few years could I face any of them again.

Glad I avoided the worms though Grin

NetworkGuy · 05/01/2013 14:00

After the smell of stale air from cigs and booze every morning (coming out the extractor fans at the pub), and having to empty out the drip containers, I would never touch beer or lager! Mine wasn't from any excess of them, honest! Started drinking cider at college (and we had a few 'Cider nights' in the SU building down in Southampton), and tried SC, etc.

Sentiment sediment! shared on the worms!

AnyFucker · 05/01/2013 20:57

mary, that sounds like a terrifying episode Sad

cider and black...'twas the drink of choice for teenagers where I came from

cheap...but nobody really liked the taste so disguised it with cordial

white lightning ....christ almighty, I annihalated a few million brain cells on that stuff
