On fire
Incidentally ... I claim to be the ONLY member of NSC to have seen Sambuca football club play. It's a place near Pistoia.

Before it was fashionable in the 70s we used to have Sambuca in coffee now I have been given Jagerbombs by my sons, what a load of rubbish virtually non alcoholic I would think by the taste of them. After about 8 one evening after a few pints of London Pride I felt fine but didn't remember going home to bed and slept like a log so obviously not non alcoholic. The drink that used to get my wife drunk after 2 or 3 at the most was an American Sombrero which is a shot of Southern Comfort, shot of Tequila over ice in a large bowl glass topped up with dry cider. Wow it knocked her head off.

Me too.
Incidentally, my nephew was supposed to be staying with us last night after a pub crawl of our local town which has something like 17 pubs. He turned up this morning to pick his car up as he never made it back here last night. Hope to God he didn't get stopped, he REEKED of booze and was very much a whiter shade of pale.

I feel ever so slightly chastised!

Oh bugger..!
Sadly Sambucca has joined Southern Comfort,Pernod,Jack Daniels and Ouzo on my throwing up at the very mention of list.
I don't get out as much as I used to, but in the near past I've been out with friends for their birthdays, and on both occasions they've ended up going home about half nine, because they've smashed the sambuca, and couldn't carry on 
The stuff (like all shots 
) is pure spirit, and the body can only take so much of it's assault on the system...

I like a drop of Sambuca but it has to be drunk neat and is a bit naughty if I have more than a couple. Generally at teh end of an evening, if I'm having a short it will be brandy with ice.

Modern day drinkers Brandy should be served in a pre warmed glass hence decent bars will wash the brandy balloon under hot running water before serving. If done it is very noticeable in the taste. This coming from somebody, who for my sins, drunk well in excess of a bottle of REMY Martin VSOP a day.

Call me a phillistine, but I like it with ice so I'm gonna have it with ice

There are many, mainly younger drinkers, who follow suit. Even Guinness brought out Guinness Cold because without doing that they thought Guinness would have become extinct within about 10 years.
Somewhere, possibly in Sussex (I could have been on holiday in England though), there was/is a pub that has the whole bar areas decked out with a complete run of empty Coivosier (sp French brandy) bottles, encircling the whole joint, on shelves just below the ceilings...
I took it the landlord (or a punter) was a bit partial to a drop

There's nothing wrong with good tequila. Unfortunately, most pubs and bars in the UK choose to sell rubbish to be drunk as a punishment rather than for the taste.

More of a Tuaca man myself, hate Sambuca.

Yes there is. I've had so called 'good tequila' and it still tastes like paint stripper.
The 'fun' element of a group of people doing tequila slammers is the only reason why this evil stuff gets sold.
