I've discovered through various experiments that I cannot drink any amount of beer without feeling a horrible, nauseating sick feeling in my stomach for up to two days afterwards. Having tried a variety of other drinks including whiskey, vodka, wine coolers, and rum; I can determine that it's only beer that gives me this horrible feeling. Any thoughts on the cause or how to get rid of it?
Since I've started getting into drinking socially, I've been looking for various drink mixes. So far some Malibu and Dr Pepper mixed was pretty tasty, along with the traditional Coke and Jack Daniels. Do you have any other suggestions for good drink mixes?
I'm booked, but Black should be available. Sean fucked around with this message on 07-16-2006 at 10:04 PM.
It's not something people hear about.

It's not Coke and Jack Daniels.
It's Jack Daniels and Coke.
Vodka and Coke is good. Whiskey and Coke is good. Tequila and Coke isn't good, but you don't drink Tequila because it's good.
Likewise, a lot of juices just plain work with alcohol. Screwdrivers, Cranberry and Vodka, etc. Just drink what you want and see what you like. You might try Long Island Iced Teas, since they have about every kind of liquor in there.
Shots are nice, too. Ask for a Redheaded Slut, Liquid Cocaine, Slippery Nipple, whatever. Or just ask for a good shot. Most bartenders know a bunch of them to make.
I'm not quite as much help as I was years ago. I pretty much exclusively drink wine now, as I can't stand the usual crowds at the usual bars. If you ever want to chat red wine, I'll be a little more helpful. As it stands, Karnaj or Fizodeth might be able to help you.
What beers are you trying, anyways? Stronger beers or weaker beers can upset your stomach, but it's usually one or the other. If you don't like either, though, you can just stay away from beer and drink other stuff.
I used to hate beer and love hard liquor, now I throw up every time I have a straight liquor drink.
If you're a common peasant like Liam, just drink hard liquor and beer after a hard day of plowing the fields.
Gin is an aromatic drink. It does not mix will with fruit juices. There are recipes involving gin and fruit juices, but they usually use other ingredients to make it not suck.
Vodka is supposed to be neutral in flavor. This usually means that it will only add the sting of alcohol to whatever you add it to. This can be a good thing or a bad thing.
Rum is made from pressed sugar cane, so it can be considered "Sweet," but drinking it straight won't make you confuse it with fruit juice. Depending on the type of rum, the flavor can be very strong, or very weak.
Bourbon and Rye whiskey are the only whiskies that should be mixed, and only mix the cheap stuff. Never mix Scotch or Irish whiskies, except in certain, established recipies (Rusty Nail and Carbomb being two that come to mind). If you have Japanese or Indian whiskies, then you probably shouldn't mix them either.
Tequila should only be drunk if you want to wind up in a dumpster on the other side of town with sore jaw and 300 dollars more than you went out with. Ah, good times.
Rum and cock used to be my personal favorite, but I lost my fondness for the sweet stuff. Now it's straight whiskey, straight tequila, gin and tonics, and then I'm ready to go to work.

hahahahahahahaha
I love rum and cocks, too.
Ive been chilling with whiskey and beer lately. Jim Beam and Jack Daniels are the standard around here, both are very good, and good to mix with soda.
Nothin like a nice Jack and Dr Pepper 50/50 mix.
Dr Pepper mixes with any whiskey Ive ever had, and southern comfort and beer makes a nice mix.
Other than that, I dont do much mixing. I usually drink straight, so Im no help at all, except for Vodka and hawaiian punch.

Fizodeth has funnier quote texts than me:
Stay the fuck away from Canadian Hunter. Its really cheap ass whiskey and it gave me the worst hangover I have EVER had.
Try rehydrating before you pass out geez.
That said, water will take away the ill effects from dehydration, but it can't guarantee a hangover-free morning, nor will drinking clear liquor. If you drink too much clear liquor, there's still to much residual acetylaldahyde left over from metabolising the alochol, so you'll be hung over from that. While I won't say the obvious way to avoid a hangover, your best bet for minimizing them is this: drink water, and don't drink cheap booze. Do that, and you'll minimize two contributors to a hangover.

Hangovers are not caused by dehydration, but rather by acetaldehyde that is produced as the liver metabolizes alcohol. Dehydration exacerbates the problem is all.

Plus, it puts you a cut above Karnaj and Liam. They'll be squatting like Russian peasants, rolling about in their own feces and eating out Madeline Albright just for a few precious monies to buy a bottle of store brand vodka.
Karnaj sucks.

1. Drink at least a small glass of water every third drink. This should minimize dehydration. At evening's end, you're going to want to drink at least half a liter, preferably a liter of water. Well, you're not going to want to drink the water, but you definitely should anyway. Pop a couple multivitamins, if you can.
2. If you can avoid puking, avoid it. Puking, while providing temporary relief, also throws your already dehydrated, vitamin-deficient body even further out of work, exacerbating the hangover that was coming, anyway.
3. The next day will be miserable, no matter what you do, especially if this is your first real hangover. Your body has a ton of toxins to process, and it's going to make you pay for having to do it. Drink water, lie low. If you can deal with food, eat whatever you have a craving for. Time and rest will make you feel better. In the mean time, bask in your half-remembered glory and try not to hurl again.

Only in the sense that beer is essentially vodka with some extra things added in.
Vodka is basically WATER and ALCOHOL and that's it.
Gin isn't made from the same stuff that vodka is, if that's your question. Gin is made from juniper berries, vodka is made from potatos or, in the case of Grey Goose and other similar vodkas, grains.

Almond put down Tada! magazine long enough to type:

Yes and no. Vodka is produced from any starchy plant, mostly potatoes or rye. Gin is, essentially, grain alcohol infused with Juniper berries (some others are sometimes also used). In a broad sense, some kinds of vodka could be considered a grain alcohol, that's where you could get this notion from.

Ah, yes, the Immigrant Cocktail. Open a can of Squirt, drink about a third of it, fill it back up with tequila and you've got a good drink.
I don't think Squirt even has a purpose beyond being that drink anymore.

The good old rum n' coke is always a favourite. I also like to mix coconut rum with different juices (like Tangerine juice).

Drink a glass of water between each alcoholic drink. This will not only help with the dehydration, but will prevent some of the dangers, especially if you don't normally drink much and may not know your limits (or have the spine to stick to them). Don't forget that alcohol has a delayed effect. . .so if you stop drinking when you think you're about to pass out and die, life is going to get much, much worse before it gets better. And fercryinoutloud have a big dinner and keep snacking while you drink.
Before going to bed, take a multivitamin and however many aspirin is appropriate for your weight and wash them down with at least 16oz of water. Twice that would be better. You'll want to drink lots of water and eat well the next day, too.
