The "Purple Nasty" at uni (Snakebite + vodka shot + blackcurrent cordial) looked absolutely disgusting if it ever came back up

Aged 15 a pal and I raided his old man's homebrew shed to find out what all the fuss was about a new drink he was concocting called "Nassau Cider". It was awful, smelled of farts and within 20 seconds of drinking gave us heartburn.

Notwithstanding this we persevered and polished off 3 or 4 bottles waking up the next day with the hangover from hell and no recollection of the last 12 hours. It was only a good few years later when I fessed-up to his old man there was nothing exotic about his "Nassau Cider". WTF? he said "that stuff was the worse I ever made and was called 'NASA Cider' i.e. rocket fuel."

My very first drink was a snowball about aged 10 I was only allowed one After that it was "Blastaways" at 15, 1 bottle of Castaway with 1 bottle of Diamond white. Dont remeber how many I drunk but I know most of it came back up!

Once I got into pub's it was always cocktails or triples, I lived in a tourist town that gets invaded everyweekend with stag and hen partys and the drinks were so cheap I think I paid around 1.50 for cocktails and 1.70 for triples.

Never been able to drink beers can't stand the taste of them

Cider! I was a bit of a merchant of the stuff at school because I had access to most of the equipment and apples needed though my dad (quite what he thought we were doing with this utterly astonishing volume of apple juice I don’t know). It was horrible though (as was my fathers), if only I’d known about the Charmat process (which can give you a nice fizzy cider utilising a second fermentation) I could have really grown my customer base .
