Jesus...
How bad would THAT taste coming back up?
Yeah, yuck!
One drunken teen night drinking with an experienced drinker I got drunk, and sick, on Sloe Gin, (gimme a break, we were in high school). All my years of bartending later and I had to hold the Sloe Gin bottle at arm's length to mix a drink with it.
I came up with two rules over the years...don't get puking drunk on anything "flavored" or with milk or juice in it.
Both are good going down and gawd awful upon re-entry.
Small world. Senior skip day - almost puked my colon out on sloe gin.
Never touched it again.

I was hungover for three days. Didn't drink again till I was legal to. Spent about a decade drinking now and then and then gave it up for good.
I learned also on that drunken night not to mix different types of alcohol. I have never done a shot. I figured anything that had to be swallowed that fast was bound to come back up with equal speed.

Ayup. It never seemed to matter in what order I drank things, only the amount.

It wasn't Skrewball brand, but I tried peanut butter flavored whiskey and wasn't particularly impressed. Too much going on at once. Pecan flavored whiskey, though, is similar, and something that I rather like. I'm sort of the queen of beverages. I'll try anything once, and have a dozen or so flavors of powdered drink mix, a couple hundred cans of sparkling water, 7-8 diffferent flavors of K-cup pods for my K-cup coffee maker, a half dozen teas in loose leaf, tea bags, and K-cup pods, a couple dozen beer singles to try, several twelve packs of Moosehead beer, a few other beers in twelve packs, a bowl filled with about twenty 50 ml sampler bottles of various liquors, several bottles of flavored whiskey, a bottle of Southern Comfort, a dozen bottles of wine, a 1.5 liter box of sangria and a twelve pack of sangria in cans, a couple six packs of hard cider, what's left of a six-pack of Redd's apple ale, and a dozen bottles of hard liquor: tequila, gin, rum, bourbon, and vodka.
Tonight I tried Wild Turkey "America Honey" flavored whiskey. It's sweet enough to give you diabetes. And I bought a bottle of scotch recently, even though memory told me that I don't like scotch. It was not particularly impressive on ice. I read where it's better neat, and it was. After retelling that tale, Chas clued me that you're supposed to add water to scotch, and I tried that this afternoon and found it quite enjoyable.
My current kick is a tour of the various varietals of wine. Sangria has made a big splash with me. And Chardonnay, particularly buttery Chardonnays, are nice. And the Rose that I tried told me that I'll be buying quite a few bottles of Rose.
So, I guess my long term mainstays in the alcoholic beverage category are going to be Sangria and Rose wine, beer, mostly lagers, tequila, and cinnamon flavored whiskey. I also have a bottle of root beer flavored whiskey, but that's not at the top of my list. Still quite good, though.

Boru Yeah that didn't work so well for me that night either.
After we killed the Sloe Gin we went for beer...I have also never had a beer since then and don't intend to. For some reason the smell of beer doesn't make me gag like Sloe Gin does.
