Fernet Branca 🤮

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

Vodka 25 years ago.

[–] bluesheep@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago

Anything anise (e.g. ouzo). Woke up one new years day with an open bottle next to me and the sight of the stuff alone made me almost puke

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 6 hours ago

Whiskey. Over two decades later and I still can't stand it.

[–] Flickerby@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Blackberry liquor. I woke up on my porch cradled around half a cooking pot of ramen at like 4 am and no shirt or memory of the last 8 hours. Still don't know what happened to that shirt.

It's funny, it seemed like blackberry brandy was a popular choice for getting fucked up underage drinking back in my day. But I don't think I've ever encountered an adult use of it. Never knew anyone to drink it, or ever saw it in a cocktail recipe.

Same here Tequila. But 15 years late I got one served "by accident" and wouldn't you know it, I'm back baby.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 hours ago

Cutty Sark Scotch.

Sailor Jerry

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Southern Comfort. Shared the same initials as my college, and was a Marching Band favorite at all of our various rituals…

[–] blackbrook@mander.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

That's the one aversion I never got over. I'm not unhappy about it either, if there's to be a thing I can't ever drink, that seems a pretty good choice.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

Tequila too.

College. Everyone doing shots. Throwing up in a back alley. Never again.

[–] teuto@lemmy.teuto.icu 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Pineapple juice. I went to a party in college that had some sort of unholy concoction of jungle juice with a bunch of cheap pineapple juice powder to mask how terrible it was. Completely ruined pineapple juice forever.

[–] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Oh Jesus. Jungle juice was a hazy near forgotten memory for me. What a horrible concept. Or at least horrible execution near every time. I may have had one okay jungle juice in my entire college career.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 5 points 16 hours ago

Vodka,

Tried to shot n entire 1 literally bottle at 18 got so sick never again.

Brake clean smells similar enough it makes me gag too

[–] MajorSauce@sh.itjust.works 6 points 18 hours ago

For me it's Goldschlager. Got a bad experience with it and the strong "cinnamon" smell made this aversion last even 20 years later...

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 5 points 18 hours ago

Sweet shots like Crown and Jaeger. Cloyingly sweet. I’ll take a bitter burn over that any day.

[–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

For about a year it was lambs navy 151 dark rum. It squirmed it's way back into my heart though

[–] DoctorWhookah@sh.itjust.works 7 points 22 hours ago

I once barfed Jager all down the side of my friend’s white Fiero. This was in 1989. Haven’t touched the stuff since.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't drink at all now, but Jager. We drank a lot of it when I was first drinking as a young adult, so much so I even think about how it smells I get nauseous.

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

Same for me

Was working at a fast food stand at night in my youth (well, for nearly 10 years) and Jägermeister was the only shot we had
So I drank that with the customer

Don't even want to look at it anymore...

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I tried it a couple times and never acquired the taste. Although, you’re not the only person I’ve heard say that :D

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Gin, I'll drink Malort before I touch gin

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I <3 Mallort even though I hate Chicago.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

I love Chicago but you can keep rhe Mallort. My big hub of great lakes sleaze

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, gin is probably a personally preference
For me it tastes like perfumed alcohol

I like my alcohol more... honest

[–] itsworkthatwedo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I legit love Malort. So delicious. I like gin too, but it gets me riled up. One gin drink max.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 3 points 18 hours ago

I’ve heard others say that too. Interesting!

[–] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago

Downed a whole bottle of Svedka, was drunk the entire next day. Won't touch that shit again.

[–] turkalino@lemmy.yachts 3 points 1 day ago

For me, anything dragonfruit flavored

For seemingly everyone else in my life, they had a bad experience with Fireball when they were young and didn’t know how to pace themselves yet, which sucks because I unironically like Fireball
