Rum Hangovers

[billyiddo]

I find that the worst hangovers for me are usually associated with gin - gives you a massive hangover I find

that's what you get for drinking an old ladies drink

I can't stand G & T, think it tastes disgusting!! I remember my parents always drinking the stuff when I was younger. I always wanted to try some but, even as I grew older, the taste never grew on me.

G&T is lovely and so is Pimms - theyre both great refreshing summer drinks.

I myself love whiskey on the rocks - simple yet effective and hits the spot but in the summer it really isnt the drink that is as refreshing as the other two.

 

[El Guepardo]

I can't stand Pimms either, especially when people start putting pieces of cucumber in it...Why?

 

[billyiddo]

Pimms is lovely

im not sure how Gin can be described as refreshing - it's anything but

Disagree - gin, lemonade and lime is lovely to have while watching a movie or something. Gin and tonic is wrank though

Try Gin, Angostura Bitters, Dry Martini, Bitter Lemon and loads of crushed ice as a hair of the dog and tell me it ain't refreshing, I think you may be very pleasantly surprised.

I like G&T too, not sure who it was said they couldn't stand it (ah, young PLJ, maybe it's an age thing ), never tried Pink Gin though apart from in the recipe above.

I'd be more inclined to count the affect of alcohol rather than sugar meself when planning a hangover.

Well naturally, but the added sugar content, whether in the alcoholic part of the drink or the mixer, will only make matters worse.

As for the G&T drinkers out there, try and find a good quality tonic water made with real quinine (ie. not that Schwepps crap in a plastic bottle) and it makes such a difference on the quality of the drink. Man, I'm getting thirsty...

Fever Tree. With a large measure of Sipsmith gin. Lovely.

Or Fentimans. Both are excellent.

Gin on its own - is a recipe for disaster

Gin with Tonic or similiar mixer like lemonade? fudging refreshing and awesome.

I woke with the hangover from hell after a night in the cells once, I was dragged down the pub, had one of those put in my hand and I was good to go within thirty minutes.

Captain Morgan Spiced is a very dangerous drink.

So easy to drink neat, it's very easy to destroy a whole bottle in a very short space of time.

I suspect the "Kraken" dark spiced I have sitting starring at me now will be a lot less by this time tomorrow.

...........and so it proved :frown:

6.45pm and I still have the headache from hell. Jeez...........
