50 Ways to Leave Your Liver

Have any of you tried consuming Listerine?

[Sweetie]

Have any of you tried consuming Listerine?

LOL. For some reason I thought Listerine was Lysol and I was gonna ask, you been to Canada lately?

Mouthwash is a staple I think, the stores would keep it behind the counter and only sell it if they felt it would be used for non-consumption, but I don't know which solvent is popular these days. A few years ago it was gold spray paint and laquer thinner always, must be a real great high I guess. My friends used to sniff gasoline.

I'm sorry, your answer flew over my head; have you ingested Listerine, and if so, did you regurgitate and/or reach an intoxicated state?

LOL, sorry the Listerine=Lysol, Lysol-solvent, people actually ingest it or did around here-other solvents-other crazy things they ingest or inhale-gold spray paint-laquer thinner-mouthwash-must keep mouthwash behind lock and key, etc., etc.

No, I never have ingested Listerine but there is a type of liquor that tastes like it that I have ingested with no ill effects if that helps. :P When I was young I just drank my parent's alcohol so I didn't try substitutes. But then, I'd have to be pretty desperate to drink Listerine, man that stuff is awful.

Listerine? That stuff is nasty. No, I have not consumed any of it.

I've consumed white lightnin' that I helped distill myself. That stuff was nasty.

Beer puts me to sleep. I have about two a year.

Wine gives me an awful acid reflux reaction...I wake screaming in the middle of the night. I've given it up.

I can, and do, drink spirits. I'm a unreformed tightwad with expensive tastes, so I rarely drink "out"....it's too fukken expensive. I drink at home, usually Bombay Sapphire gin & tonics in the summer and either Black Bush or Glenfiddich whiskies in the winter. I love to make Irish coffees. I tend to drink when entertaining guests, usually when my male bonding buddies come over to the clubhouse (my house, being the widower) to get away from their wives. Their wives know I won't let them on the road wasted, they stay here until they are safe.

But by far, my intoxicant of choice is weed. I haven't had a hangover since I was 24-25 years old. Learned how to hold the good stuff and replaced the rest with the herb superb.

TELL me you haven't actually drunk WL.

Moonshine maybe, but not white lightning. (Yes, there is a difference.)

[Token Effort]

Desperate to drink Listerine? Why couldn't one just be looking for something new/ different?

[Corwin]

Because the package specifically says 'do not drink?' Primarily since it has (among other things) camphor in it?

[godfry n. glad]

Hey... While I got the drunks' attention -

I try to keep a decent liquor cabinet, so I have:

- Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch whiskey

- Black Bush Irish whiskey

- Jack Daniel's Tennessee Sour Mash whiskey

- Bombay Sapphire dry gin

- Reserva Del Duen~o tequila

- Jose Cuervo Especiale tequila

- Appleton Estate Jamaica rum

- V.S. Hennessy Very Special cognac, small bottle

- Corbel brandy

- Kyrgyz walnut cognac, tiny bottles

- Grand Marnier

- Frangelico

- Hartley & Gibson's imported cream sherry

- Harveys Bristol Cream sherry

- Martini & Rossi dry vermouth

...along with tonic water, cola, ginger ale, root beer, vanilla creme, spanish olives and marischino cherries.

I don't really know why I have the cherries.

Any suggestions for additions or replacements for those on this list? I'm particularly open to suggestions in the area of tequilas, rums and cognacs (or brandies). I'm pretty set in my ways when it comes to whiskeys, Old World whiskeys that is. I don't know a good bourbon from a bad, and will take direction, there, too, but do I like the Tennesse sour mash. A lot of that bourbon runs too "sweet" for my taste, at least that's my poor impression.

Somebody wanna set me right?

Eh... I'm a Macallan/Oban man. Glenfiddich is too pale for my tastes.

Okay, moonshine, most likely. Homemade sqeezin's, made from homemade wine. Distilled in the kitchen. How do you differentiate the two? They're one in the same to me. White lightnin' is not what you call Sterno strained through bread, is it?

No... that's just called 'desperate.'

White Lightning is moonshine that's been cut with strichnyne to give it a kick.

Think of it as a redneck vodka and red bull.

Ah, Corwin... We've been down this road a'for. You'll not sway me to that stuff drenched in bog stench...although I don't remember the Macallan bein' all that bad. Any Islay is....well, a trial. I'll stay with the Highland stuff.

...and...I am the host of Ravenswood.

Then definitely moonshine. Wasn't a bit of strichnyne in it. I merely tasted the stuff. It was horrid; not something I'd willingly repeat. Rather like scratching one's itchy eye after cutting up a jalepen~o pepper. You only do it once.

Ug. Moonshine. I had some at a Xmas party a few years ago. I was lit like a light.My eggnog was spiked with it and I could not taste it too much. Hubby's uncle lied at first and said it was Jim Beam, since I never drank wiskey before... So, I thought I was downing some 40-proof stuff that actually had the alcohol content similar to Everclear. It was a funny joke on me because I am always so proper. I was really upset because I was lit and I had to go with hubby and kids to his dad's. His dad, incidentally believes all women who drink are cheap whores

That's outrageous! :eek:

If someone did something similar to me, I would have no trouble telling them that if they did it again, they'd be seeing the ugly end of a baseball bat. Spiking someone, with anything they don't know about is stupid, mean, dangerous and I suspect criminal.

That really pisses me off that someone would do that. :fuming: :fuming:

[livius drusus]

I agree, Adam. Some people think this kind of shit is funny, like Mr. Burns making Smithers get trashed and dance around stupidly.

On another note entirely, a friend of mine once drank something called "Cherry Bounce" -- which is apparently a variety of moonshine -- with a paint crew she had hired to work on her asshole husband's shanty in South Carolina. They were really nice guys apparently, and it wasn't until she got back into town and showed me their card that she realized they she'd been sharing a jug of 'shine with the local Klan.

White Knight Construction. I shit you not. She called her asshole husband and he confirmed.

Well, to be fair, she was told it was spiked. Jim Beam is nuthin' to snub, it's actually 80+ proof. If it was 'shine, it was probably 'bout double that, rather like the Everclear mentioned. Note, though that it's still alcohol. Strong alcohol. It's not like it's spiked with something else and/or nobody said anything about it.....

Spiking it and not warning of any alcohol, or spiking with other intoxicants...that deserves the ugly end, man... not this.

[Dingfod]

Isnt' Everclear 190 proof? 95% ethanol, that's about as pure as alcohol can get without some really well-controlled distillation. I would think moonshine would be pretty close to that.

[Dingfod]

Gotta love this, names for moonshine (http://www.ibiblio.org/moonshine/make/basics.html):
* corn liquor
* white lightning
* sugar whiskey
* skull cracker
* popskull
* bush whiskey
* stump
* stumphole
* 'splo
* ruckus juice
* rotgut
* stumphole
* catdaddy
* mule kick
* hillbilly pop
* panther's breath
* tiger's sweat
* sweet spirits of cats a-fighting
* alley bourbon
* city gin
* cool water
* happy Sally
* blue John
* jump steady
* see seven stars
* old horsey
* block and tackle
* wild cat

They forgot one: Kickapoo Joy Juice, the stuff Pappy Yokum would make in his still in Dogpatch.

[livius drusus]

Wow. The only one of those I'd ever heard was rotgut. I didn't realize it was a synonym for moonshine, though. It's just what my dad used to call the house wine at certain local trattorias.

Yeah, I knew it had something in it, so I was not clueless, but it was just way too much for me to drink. It was given to me because I was shaking because I was going to my father-in-law's after the party. I lightened up after that. Anyway, It was not right, but it was not too horrible. Just family playing a joke on another family member. -Not that I play those jokes.

For that I prefer "plonk".

As in "I'm putting this wine on my ignore list"?

That's just it, worn, few 'shiners have "well-controlled distillation" like the Everclear folks. There tends to be a lot more water in the mix, usually 'cause they're in a hurry. Still...(heh)...80%+ alcohol is nuthin' to sneeze at. It's all burn, no flavor. Nasty.

Great for Bunsen burners.

It was captioned something like "Aged in oak."

:drunk3: I had my fair share of bad wine.. Lots of 2BUCK CHUCK.. Did more than my share of drinking in my youth.. :chug: :tapbeer: :friday: :coconut: :drunksgn: They didn't have NYQUIL in my day, or Listerine Well they did, but it was the realllllllllly bad shit stuff that first came out.. If you drank it YOUR HEAD WOULD BURST INTO FLAMES.. :explode2: then your friends would have to rush to the nearest EMERGENCY ROOM.. :giggle:

So we just drank Brown Jugs, Whisky, bad wine, Slow gin, rum and coke.. :drunk3: My best friend father would make moonshine in the garage. We would constantly steal some. Yikes that will put you in another ZIPCODE everytime. :eek:

The LISTERINE thing is taking off here as well. Braincells take the first hit with this shit. My sister works in ER sees it all the time, not pretty. :(

[Dingfod]

Have any of you tried consuming Listerine?Did you get that from this story (http://apnews.myway.com//article/20050115/D87K7V5O0.html)?
ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) - A woman who admitted drinking three glasses of Listerine mouthwash had a blood-alcohol content more than three times the legal limit when she was arrested for drunken driving, police said Friday.
