Why why why why... SAMBUCA

[HalifaxSeagull]

Was at a wedding last night, good do, loads of food laid on and a decent band. Stayed on lager all night, thought that I may have a small hang over...

Then someone came from the bar with a tray of shot glasses and the rest is hazy! I woke up at 4am and genuinely had no idea where I was (I'm in a hotel room - mine I hasten to add!) for a few seconds I panicked and thought I may have been locked up!! (travelogues aren't up to much these days!)

Anyway, my rambling point is this. A, why do people drink sambuca, B, why did I drink it, C, why did we end up having at least 10 shots and...

D, what am I going to do now, my heads pounding, I feel pissed still and I've got to pick my dad up from Ilkley in an hour or so and then drive to Hull!!

Moral of the story... Like Zammo said 'just say no'!

A couple of Sambuca at the end of the night used to guarantee a clear head in the morning for me. Tequila is the one I don't understand.

Ha, these went around with my mates the other night, and i slyly tipped mine into a mates and faked drinking it..

Nurofen/Ibuprofen... The only was forward..!

Be careful driving ur very likely to still be way over the limit

Suggest you find another driver, don't want to ruin the day with a drink driving offence under your belt.

Sambuca is made by the devil.

One of my cousins convinced my gran to have some at her surprise 80th birthday party. She hardly drinks and after 2 got up, nearly walked into a post and said 'was there alcohol in that?' lol

The Mrs (sensible, started drinking water at points last night - how do people manage to do that?!) is driving to pick up dad and the old man will have to drive us to Hull... Will take us twice as long, but better to be on safe side.

Just had a shower and coffee and feel a tiny but more human, but not much, I need FOOD, preferably fried food!

This. Though personally I find Vodka shots the worst. Stopped drinking it straight a while back as it meant I ended up doing and saying things that probably made me look a bit of a cock (though have no memory of doing these things). Quite partial to Buca actually, like the taste of it!

 

[HalifaxSeagull]

I can still taste it. Especially when I burp!

You'd be crazy to drive to Hull if you had lager last night and then 10 shots of Sambuca

Way over the limit and an accident waiting to happen

I am feeling your pain my friend.

I met a mate in the pub at 15.30 yesterday for "one".

6 hours and 9 pints of strongbow later it seemed like a good idea to have some shots, by this time there was 6 or 7 of us all having a great night,

Sambuca is evil, I don't like aniseed and I don't like licquorice so everyone found it funny to give me black sambuca.

As much as I hate it I find it easier than vodka or whisky shots.

Ive brushed my teeth several times this morning, mouth washed, the works and I can still taste it.

Me and the missus are off to my folks this afternoon for a BBQ to do it all again (minus the sambuca).

It's going to make me or break me I feel.

I haven't learned... A night out in Whitby with mates celebrating them finishing the coast to coast. Few 'quiet beers' turned into Sambuccas, nightclubs and a dirty donner kebab.

Now my head feels like there's someone inside it with a hammer, my mouth tastes if aniseed and 'red bat' (cheap red bull) and my Gf is in a mood with me!

No more Sambucca for me!

I've never understood the shot culture. Mind you although I love booze I've never liked being drunk.

Jagerbomb is where its at

I nearly died after a few bombs in Bushwacka's in Campamayor, sent me loopy and I walked over a busy dual carriage way causing cars to brake and swerve. I've steered clear ever since!

I opened this thread thinking it would be a new song...

to the tune Delilah...

Why, why, why... Sambuca!

The ONLY reason for doing that stupid thing with a glass of Sambuca and a coffee bean (then setting it on fire) is to burn off most of the alcohol. Maybe that's what you should have done?

Personally, I like my Sambuca neat, and my Pernod and Ouzo diluted with water. It's a taste thing - and I enjoy the taste. But to drink large quantities is just stupid.

Having said that, we can all be stupid on occasions.
