What’s the nastiest alcohol you’ve had?

Cheap vodka is straight from the pits of hell

I'm convinced it's rebranded rubbing alcohol. It's the most heinous shit.

Cheap vodka + orange juice = I’m never going to have a screwdriver again in my life. Also ruined orange juice for me for a couple years.

Run it through a brita filter a couple of times.

Omg I had cheap VOKAT. Yes vokat not even vokda, we were that dumb age 15 and I swear to god my memory got wiped.

But... what else is gonna get you blackout drunk for under $10?

Malort.

That shit tastes a war crime.

I’ve been meeting a bunch of people from Chicago this past year and they always try to get me to drink this stuff if we ever see it in a bar. It’s disgusting…

The objectively correct answer, but after years of malort shots....I actually love it lol

Anyone replying with any other answer has never had Malort. The worst tasting thing ever.

The only alcohol I've ever had that was worse drinking than it was puking.

I’ve heard it’s immediately vomit inducing and the disgust level is unfathomable. I’m so curious, lol

Thank you! Nothing stands a chance against the Swedish snaps Bäsk made from Malört here. Fun fact, at some universities in Sweden it’s tradition to drink 23cl of the stuff when you turn 23.

it is most foul, and yet somehow it still makes its way into parties every now and then

The correct answer

My husband is from Chicago so Malort is a thing for him. We don’t live anywhere near Illinois now, but we mandate all visitors to our house (over 21) to take a shot of Malort with us. Gotta weed out the weak.

Hands down, the worst taste ever created. Took a shot of this as a "rite of passage" and almost threw up.

"It tastes like an abortion clinic in Iceland!"

Got given a shot of this recently. I took the teeniest tiniest sip possible and even that was too much

This is the one true correct answer.

The only people who will answer other than this are people who haven't had malort.

Oh God yes. My boyfriend like this stuff 🤢

I just… why does it exist

jagermeister

Literally Jägermeister is my favorite liquor.

That’s like an instant trigger to make me sick 🤮

Eh, I love it haha. It has a great kick when insanely cold.

The drunkest I’ve ever been was on Jäegermeister and it was like the 8th time in my life I had ever drank.

Agreed, will never forget that person who told me that Jager won’t give you a hangover

And his cousin - Blackhaus 🤢

Awful stuff 🤢

Came here to say this.

Yes 🤢 This is the nastiest stuff on the face of the earth...Never again will I ever take a sip of that mess!!!

This is my goto drink because it’s so thick it sticks to the stomach and you can’t puke it up. Only time I ever threw it up was my 22nd birthday when I gave myself jager poisoning

I love Jager. First proper shot I did was Jager. Good times.

I hate hate licorice, but a cold shot of Jager..... Heck yes

Fireball

Fireball is my favorite liquor. I drink it neat

Underrated comment

It’s really good with rumchatta though

Agreed. Cinnamon and alcohol should not be a thing.

Fireball is fire tf

Same! It tastes like Big Red gum which is a disgusting gum to chew and it burns the side of my tongue.

I came here for this answer. One of my very best friends used to drink exclusively Fireball and I don't know how she did it. Sadly, she passed away and I bought a lil sample of it to sip on during her burial (don't judge, she would of approved), and I think I took two sips lol. The rest went in the grass and I kept the bottle.

As a hot cinnamon flavor hater I agree

Ouzo, nasty black licorice taste yuck.

I didn’t have to scroll far to find this. I still have flashbacks of barfing up ouzo in 1996.

This and sambucca, ick

I came to say this. My buddy had a bottle he brought back from Romania and we felt compelled to polish off the bottle. As if it was better bc it was from Romania. Gnarly af.

Ick. My boyfriend is Armenian so the have a drink called Arak which is the same damn thing and it sounds awful every time he mentions he's drinking it.

Ouzo with ice water though 😉

Which reminds me of Jaeger which is also dislike!!

Homemade moonshine from a friend’s grandpa. Made from a still back in the woods, the shine hidden in a cave and kept cool in a creek.

Ugh. I feel for you. My friend made wine out of dandelions, tasted like rotten dirt and alcohol. Like, what a waste of time and tastebuds.

I believe it. My dad makes homemade moonshine, he makes different flavors though. Gave me a jar of apple pie flavored for Christmas last year and it was awesome.

A friend's girlfriend once brought a homemade Calvados to a party.

cheap tequila....worst hangover ever.

The cheap tequila from a Mexican gift shop. The ones with a scorpion in it 🤢

Agreed. Cheap vodka and tequila are the worst.

Original Four loko

Ohhh the original formula.

gotta get up to get down

Ah yes those were the days. Shit had me running down the street all sweaty when I’m typically at a sloth’s pace.

That shit fucked you up.

The gold one was 🤢

Everclear. Never again.

Scrolled too far for this. By far the worst most potentially deadly drinkable alcohol in existence.

I came here looking for this and am surprised how far I had to scroll to find it. It’s like drinking jet fuel. I actually used to regularly do shots of it back in the day too, and now just seeing a bottle makes my whole chest burn.

Takes me back to college, drinking grain punch scooped out of trash cans.

Fucking yes!

Goldschlager. It’s like chewing and swallowing 10 packs of dentyne fire all at once

Thats my #2 most hated mostly because I just despise cinnamon

Grappa

Can confirm. Fucking horrible.

Terrible 🤮

Hands down, the worst ever. I thought I was going top go blind.

Tastes like methylated spirits

Without a doubt, Campari. I know a lot of cocktail people snob about it, but if I wanted to drink cough syrup, Nyquil is cheaper.

Campari is disgusting. However, I’ve learned that substituting Aperol in drinks that call for Campari makes them much better.

Not really a cocktail snob, but one of my favorite drinks (Negroni) requires it. It would never occur to me to drink it straight, though. It’s more like a condiment.

Seriously, it's so bitter. Fun fact, until recently the color came from crushed beetle shells ><

Beer. Every single kind of beer. They're all gross and taste the same to me. I'm more of a wine, mixed drinks, and cider kind of gal.

Same, my friends are like “taste this one, it’s very particular” and all I can taste is sour and bitter nastiness. I only like fruity drinks

Samee they’re all disgusting.

Jack Daniels… just no.

Rum. All rum. Gross.

Bundaberg rum is literally like tar. It comes back up black 😭

Any straight up rum is gross! I can tolerate spiced or coconut.

I used to HATE rum. Literally the smell alone would make me gag. Until my friend insisted I try Plantation XO. It was delicious and the only rum I can handle now.

Black absinthe.

But absinthe makes the heart grow fonder!

What does it taste like?

couldn’t agree more.

Black sambuca is the devil.

Wow, reading this gave me a terrible flashback, LOL!

Gorilla fart: jagermeister and banana schnapps. Do not recommend.

Why would you do that to yourself?

Malort (idk if that is how you spell it but it tastes like hazing)

I know exactly what you’re talking about it’s nasty!

Mezcal is NAASSSTY

It's like drinking liquid smoke

Yes! It's terrible

Ma-f’ing-lort. F Chicago and F their combination drano and bleach drink.

Aquavit. Tastes exactly like rubbing alcohol.

Skål !

I second this

Made once the mistake of buying my family a peppercorn Aquavit.

100%. It's awful. I think it's a national inside joke in Norway

Unicum, herbal liqueur. Sorry Hungarians.

Malort

YEP ... URRRRGGGG.....U must be near CHICAGO ? LOL. NASTY HAHA

Gin and tequila are both horrible!.

So much gin hate! I love a good gin and tonic with lime! Ya'll are crazy

I've never tried tequila. But seriously gin tastes like nailpolish remover smells

My dad says gin tastes like turpentine

Gin is just vodka thats been ruined. Tequila can be okay, depending on the brand but my god bad tequila, like patron, is so very bad

Blue Moonshine. Literally almost vomited after one sip. 😅

My dad gave me moonshine that his friend made - saskatoon berry flavored - and jesus christ. it tasted like what rubbing alcohol smells like

That Hungarian shot that I don’t know the name of

If you're thinking of palinka, I can assure you it's cousin Unicum is 100x worse.

Pálinka. It is straight up poison.

Good tequila is heaven

Fireball. Even though so many people love it...just no.

Also Sake. Sorry not sorry.

I hate handcrafted beers. I mean mad respect to people who can handle such strong flavors. But I want alcoholic water. Give me a bud light with ice any day!

Chartreuse 🤢

I forgot about chartreuse until this comment...can confirm, not good.

Definitely Malort. Never again.

Malort. 🤮

When I was 16, I “hey mister”’d a woman outside of a liquor store. I gave her $30 and told her to bring me back tequila and keep the change.

Bacardi 151 was baaaaaaaaad but cheap and got you absolutely wrecked. In my opinion tasted worse than Everclear.

Grappa. It's been 33 years and I still shudder. 🤢

Scotch tastes like liquid hardwood chair to me

An Aviation cocktail at an airport. It was bad.

Absinthe

It's my favourite drink 😁💚

Any kind of Vodka. It makes me puke. No matter how much and brand. My stomach rejects it everytime.

Same!! This and blue curaçao. Got drunk on this ny first time drinking alcohol, it was BAD and i can’t stand it since then.

I'm like you with any vodka...except it makes me cry. Like sobbing about anything crying...lol me and my husband have a joke about how potatoes make me cry

Jägermeister. Tastes like bleached piss and gave me the worst hangover of my life. Drank it once and then never again.

I worked in a liquor store, smelt many bottles smashed from falling to the floor, and I can say in no uncertain terms that cheap tequila is the most pungent thing I've ever smelled. It lasted for days. It was terrible.

What is a good tequila? I thought patron but somebody above said it was bad

Fernet Branca tastes like dirt, forest, and cough medicine.

Why did I have to scroll so far to find Fernet? Maybe most people haven’t tried it. Absolutely vile stuff.

Bacardi - only bc I got really sick on it when I was younger and can't even smell it without wanting to puke 🤢

Ugh same!!!!

Cheap gin, served as shots when I was in college. I still get goosebumps thinking about that 🤢🤮

Tequila

Malorts. Try it at least once with friends

Gold Four Loko

Everclear. Nothing makes it taste good. It should be sold at CVS and not the liquor store

I really don’t like Mezcal but the worst in my opinion is Brandy.

It's either Jager or this Icelandic whisky (can't remember the name).

Ouzo

i will NEVER drink twisted tea again. I was 15 in high school at a party. I was drinking with my friend and we both had so much to drink that we were both hurled over in the woods together puking for like 20 mins straight. I dont speak to this dude anymore due to us just having different lives now and college, but i wonder if he remembers that because i do. I will never forget it, and since i'm still young i know i will have more memorable experiences like that

Omg twisted tea! I forgot about that. I used to drink that in college. I used to love it but it’s so nasty idk how I did it, If i had to drink it now I would throw up

Soco pepper. My friend bought it because “it was on sale”. It was on sale because it tasted like a chemical fire in a musty basement.

I had an aperol spritz, recommended by a waiter at the restaurant I went to for my birthday. Not a fan. Tasted almost medicinal to me

Unicum, Hungarian liquor that tastes of Satan’s taint.

Every single thing that has alcohol. Sorry not sorry.

Some fancy schmancy spiced rum from the depths of my dads liquor shelf

Tuaca

Black sambuca 🤮

New Amsterdam vodka. It made me fear taking shots because I always immediately throw up after taking one of those.

I once had 86% alcohol Stroh Rum, i think it's called in English. It was absolutely revolting! Never again

Kraken, I was drawn in by the cool label, never again will it pass my lips

Old Crow. Never again.

99 Bananas

Anything with wheat in it. Just leaves the worst aftertaste in my mouth. Otherwise? Fireballs. I don't know how yall do it, but the drink makes me throw up each time.

XO Dragon Brandy. It comes in the absolute coolest container ever, a gigantic glass serpent dragon that you pour out of the tail. It was like $200 at Costco when I got it

I stay in South Africa and we have a shit cheap vodka called Russian Bear 🤮🤮

Grappa. The name even sounds like what I said after I took a sip.

Either rose, bamboo or rice schnapps... there was an evening where I had those and I was so sick

Absinthe. It taste like licorice.

All beer & whiskey

Angels envy tasted like hellfire and death.

Beer

Uh... the cleaning type

Colombian aguardiente from a bottle that a friend’s mom kept her in glove compartment, which should have been the original tip-off.

literally every single one

Gammeldansk

Brennivin

Ouzo. Had it first with my grandparents when they took me to Greece when I was 13. Never again

Moonshine

Brandy. No just the awful taste btw, it was the worst hangover of my life. I passed out, hit my head and got a big ass bruise in the forehead (this was like 8 years ago). Never fcking again.

Actual moonshine from Tennessee. Tasted like straight nail polish.

Cachaça

Jameson whiskey, one sip made me want to throw up.

Kamchakta gas station vodka

Pink Whitney. Completely disgusting. Worst hangover ever.

Kamchatka. My boyfriend got it thinking it was regular vodka but it’s a vodka liqueur, good god that shit is AWFUL.

Sambuca

Sambuca

Bourbon.

99 bananas tastes like bananas on fire

99 Bananas
