What is the most foul thing you've ever had to drink?

Either for a medical procedure or due to bad judgment, what beverage have you had to drink that caused severe emotional trauma in the days following?

I had an upper G.I. done today so barium is on my mind.

my 'friends' made the bartender make up with random bottles of liqueurs and other booze on my 21rst birthday.

Come to think of it, I am not friends with any of them some 12 years later.

LOL

I have no idea why people like the stuff. It's nasty.

:D :beer:

I opened one of a six pack. Took a drink and just about lost my lunch. The five remaining one are in the fridge still.

I'm not wild about the bottles; but I love the widget cans!

Come and get 'em!

Try the cans next time...or better yet, on tap! It's an entirely different animal!

"stoutish" obviously, but as a Guiness lover I have to say that the new bottles with the nitrogen widget built in are much tastier than the can version, much like soda fountain coke to canned coke, or plastic bag tuna to canned tuna.

Just gotta have a taste for dark beers I guess. Real dark.

;-) HEy once you like it you LOOOVEE it!

There's no way I could get used to drinking that stuff. It made be gag. If that was the only beer available i would go without. And you're talking to a serious beer drinker here.

Either a can of 7up from (possibly) the 60's, or.... well, never mind that.

When I was 9, I had to spend an entire summer at my uncle's house outside of Golden, Colorado. All he had in his house was well water. It was the most ungodly awful thing I've ever tasted, not only quite salty but with the taste of some kind of metal that hurt my throat after having to drink it for several weeks. His kids were used to it and said they couldn't taste anything strange.

Had to drink a vile brew of Jaeger, red wine, Corona beer, and peppermint schnapps. Make that, I had to drink TWO large plastic cups of it due to me losing 2 games. And the lovely part of the game is, everyone's "backwash" from their drinks goes into it as the game goes on, as they add their drinks to the brew for the loser to drink.

Do I win? :)

A wicked concoction of many hard liquors and much hot sauce.

My stomach is roiling just thinking about it.

to determine whether they have gestational diabetes.

Blech! Ptooooie!

no one has said semen yet? Vile stuff. Like Clorox and buttermilk.

Other than that, the DISGUSTING stuff I had to drink when I had a colonoscopy. Oh. My. God. I shudder just to think of it NOW.

Number one- That is in *such* poor taste! (No pun intended)

Number Two- That is the funny as hell and there's coffee on my monitor and keyboard now!

Number Three- I am now enlightened. If the conversation ever comes up at a poker game, I can tell my pal's what it tastes like!

*********************************************************************

"Clorox and buttermilk...I'll take two."

"How do *you* know? Dealer takes one."

"Ummmm.... the internet?... No seriously, guys- I *read* it on the internet!!!- stop looking at me like that!!!"

*********************************************************************

On second thought... maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut (again- no pun intended).

Or so they say.

I had a good link (I think I got it from here ... ?) but I lost it.

Yes it was in a dormitory. Yes girls made it out of ingredients our two rooms shared. Yes it tasted indescribably nasty.

He made a batch of red wine, which I don't care for to begin with, but this was bad even for red wine. Tasted like someone had put a cigarette out in it.

Reading this thread, I'm reminded of something I heard on TV the other nite. The guy was talking about some horrible food he couldn't eat, so he gave it to the dog, and the dog had to lick its butt to get the taste out of its mouth!

Upper GI procedures, that is. Fun times. At least you can be thankful that you're not getting the barium up the other end.. :P

Did they have any flavored barium? I know of several childrens' hospitals where they mix chocolate syrup with unflavored barium, and it makes the taste a bit more tolerable..

Fruit juice and malt liquor which comes in a tallboy can.

Provides the invigorating combination of a screaming hangover and a screaming case of the shits simultaneously. Yum.

Absolutely the worst, most gawd-awful tasting thing ever concocted by man.

2nd: Fenjiu, a Chinese wine that'll ruin your night if you drink too much of it.

Saigon(Ho Chi Mihn City), after a vacation there. She gave it to me as a curio, which I kept on a knick knack shelf in my home. It was Cobra wine, with a real baby cobra inside the bottle of wine. A few weeks ago my oldest son had some friends over for a birthday celebration, and trying to be macho, he opened the nasty shit and he and his buds tried to drink it. Three of them, my son included, threw up.
What a shame. It was one of the coolest looking things I ever had and now its gone.

They don't usually drag it out until eveyone's quite hammered. They love to make foreigner's drink it and watch them try to keep it down.

Tried it once...never agin.

My mexican neighbor some years ago used to makes his own "bathtub tequila", an old family recipe. After a night of drinking beer he went over to his house, next door, and came out with a mason jar filled with this brownish liquid. He passed it around and when I took one sip my throat closed up, then I blew lunch projectile style. He laughed and slugged that nasty shit down. It tasted like what I would think JP5 (jet fuel), might taste like.
:puke:

Norway's national drink...tastes like coal oil :puke:

I had to take it when I was about 12 or 13 because I accidentally took some anti-depressants instead of my asthma medicine (they look identical). Had to drink two cups of that horrible stuff. I can usually down nasty foods and drinks but I had to keep from throwing up while drinking that. And the best part is that my number 2 was black as tar for a month. :)

:-)

tasted like lighter fluid, but whatta drunk THAT was!

We used to call it skunk water.

... you can try it in the Pump Room which is now a museum.

It's like drinking a liquid fart!!!! :wow:

The Skin

Bong water.

It's bad enough cold, but it's revolting when it's warm.

:puke:

Yuk!!! Tabasco goes *on* your food, not *in* your drink!!

Mustard powder instead of nutritional yeast.

as bad as it is orally, it's much worse anally, administered that way for the ultra popular 'lower GI'

thanks for stirring up the memories, man...:)

BTW, i hope everything is alright with you...

And almost as bad as the barium: When I had my upper & lower GI series done, in addition to the barium they gave me a tiny cup full of some sort of gritty substance (solid, not liquid) and told me to drink it. ~shudder~ I'm still not sure what that was about.

Sometimes we give a small cup of fizzies for the patient to drink so that when they reach the stomach, the fizzies will produce air.. this results in a very nice air-fluid(Barium) contrast on the film, making diagnosis much easier.

The patients usually want to burp after drinking that gritty stuff, but we constantly have to tell them not to, lol..

God, just merely thinking of it...:scared::puke:

I chugged part of a bottle as a toddler. I still have a thing about the aroma of chlorine.

How did you survive?

:scared:

DTH

with no chaser. I was broke, a friend offered me a drink so I asked for a shot. He kept buying, I kept drinking.

I can't do peppermint anything anymore. :puke:

for colonoscopy. A gallon of brackish, foul water.

Christ i forgot all about that...at least with barium, they don't have to give you an ANTI-EMETIC, to keep it down, like they do with Go-Lytely...:puke:

my grandmother used to dose us with paregoric and milk of bismuth, an old-fashioned remedy that an elderly doctor friend of hers still prescribed.

It worked, but oh, the taste!

The other medicinal horror from my childhood was elixir of terpin hydrate, a cough syrup. Fortunately, I was sensitive to something in it and couldn't keep it down, so they stopped giving it to me. I much preferred Cheracol, which tasted like spiked grape Kool-Aid.

foul

somewhere i read that a small glass a day would help to lose weight. (not that i'm overweight, but every ounce i gain goes to my waistline.)

tried it for about two weeks. awful, awful stuff. i don't know how you oil and vinegar people do it.

SOME things you CAN get used to. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

others will give you shivers the rest of your life.

the last double shot out of the botttle of real Absinthe without the sugar and water-- at a homecoming party for me this last April- ten minutes later I puked my guts out and had to go home.

I was sick for a month after that...:puke:

Well, it was some sort of purplish stuff that purported to be gin, according to the guy who brought it out when we'd finished all the other booze in the house. Tasted like extra-strong cough syrup...definitely *not* something you want to drink after several shots of various other liquors. :puke:

I was about 16. My dad came home one day complaining that he had to chase some aftershave drinkers away from the back of his shop. That night, I dreamed that I was one of those guys, taking a swig. I awoke to a dreadful taste in my mouth - I was standing at my dresser with a bottle of some sort of musk-type stuff in my hand. The taste lingered for days.

I've also had a mouthful of gasoline, from trying to syphon it out of a lawnmower. Strangely tasteless.

in a bottle

warm

it was disgusting

used to love that in college.

I can't imagine drinking mint and citrus together...kinda like drinking orange juice right after brushing your teeth...come to think of it, that is probably my second least favorite drink/taste

nuff said

:puke: I tried it once and it tasted like Altoids and Robitussin in one gawd awful drink...Never ever again!!!
