    Hosted a Quadrupel tasting where we had a three year vertical of Cuvee Van De Keizer Blauw, some vintage Old Horizontal, and a couple years of St. Bernardus in the 750ml size. The tasting consisted of three people... Sometime around 10pm I realized that no food (solid anyway) was going to be ordered/ingested as no one seemed to care by this point. So, I had the brilliant idea that I would just sip on some more quads to fill that void and I should be fine right? Wrong...(Insert puking session while sleeping here) Thankfully I instinctively sleep on my side.

    I woke up the next morning and decided to do a six mile run with my friend who slept over. We finished in little under an hour and then my body just collapsed. I puked up what appeared to be pure alcohol, and then proceeded to dry heave for the next hour. I went to drive to get breakfast shortly after and I couldn't even touch the food. Getting back to the car was miserable, and it took a good five minutes to convince myself that if I got out of my car (after I arrived home) that I would be able to get back in. Oh, and I had work that day... And the person I drank with was my manager so I couldn't really call in sick.

    In a word, horrible.

    I believe I've told this story on the board but when Surly Syx was released, I got a few bottles and I sat down to relax with a bottle and needless to say, I was blind drunk passed out between my couch and the wall. I had no idea how I ended up there but when my wife got home, she said I was face down on the carpet. She tried to wake me up and couldn't. She dragged me halfway down the hall and left me there. I woke up in my bed and wondering how I got there and who hit me with their vehicle. She said I tried to get frisky and play with my son and she wouldn't let me. To this day, I do not remember what Syx tastes like....

    Pass out drunk from a 15% bomber? The tasting we had last weekend would have probably spelled acute liver failure for you then :stuck_out_tongue:

    Many, many, many years ago I bought an Iron City Light (yes light) for my friend as a joke. We tried it for the heck of it and nearly threw up. As bad as it gets.

    Joining "The Bicentennial Club" in college. 1 shot of beer per minute for 200 minutes (sounds easy, right?). Rules allow you to piss twice and puke once. Used up my allowance of both in the first 100 minutes but I think I made it.

    It's a toss up between Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Maple Bacon Ale and Southern Tier Creme Brûlée. Both were unpalatable and foist their way down the drain along with my money.

    This was roughly 20 years ago, before i knew better...My night started out drinking Heinekens and then somehow moved on to drinking a vile combination of Southern Comfort and Ouzo. Needless to say the vomiting was unbelievably horrid and painful, no flu or stomach virus I have had since has come close to it. The foul combination of anise/licorice and skunky beer with the whiskey and whatever else is in SoCo and the pizza with everything on it coming back up still haunts me to this day.
    I haven't had any of those to drink since.

    I was at FFF brewpub and a guy who worked there assured me that their "beer" called bullyguppy was the real deal. It was the day it was released so I took his word for it and walked out with a $25 bomber of this "beer." The poison in that bottle tasted like piss mixed with acetone. Its a shame that a respected brewery like that would put their name on this liquid. Nail polish remover would have been more appetizing.

    I would still rather drink liquid maple bacon bar than a bud light.

    Wow, that's a tough one. Bud Lite or Voodoo Donut. Should that be it's own thread?

    I have had quite a few bad beers but I went to the Pikes Place Brewery in Seattle, WA. I decided to get there sampler. Out of 7 beer samples only one of them didnt taste like popcorn butter or fruit loops... I think someone realy needs to look into there fermentation process, or I was just there on a realy bad day. Ether way I couldnt take much more then a sip from those sample cups.

    The Belgian Rye Angle at The Hideout in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was so awful that I took three sips to give it a try and then handed it back to the bartender. I was then given another not so great beer that was hazelnut flavored. I then got the stomach flu and had to experience both beers for a second time.....

    actually had a very bad one this week. blue point oatmeal stout. Don't know if it skunked before I purchased it, but it was bitter, watery, and had an off-putting flavor reminiscent of coconut/suntan lotion.

    When I was 19 I found out that Cave Creek Chili Beer is as spicy on the way back up as it was going down.

    I was down on the south shore of Long Island at my usual hangout spot, they had Mad Elf on tap and were serving it to me in a Chimay goblet. I recall having 8 of them but I'm told I had 12, woke up the next morning with a hangover so bad I suspect I may have been suffering from minor alcohol poisoning, I was completely immobile and every single fiber of my body hurt, the headache was indescribable.

    Took eighteen hours and lots of water, but I came around.

    Thats hardcore. Never quite did that, but I remember even as late as 2008 I'd go on quasi binges. Such as one Friday staying out drinking till 6am (of course winding up with neighborhood "pass around" girl). Getting about 3 hours of sleep because I had to help my dad out with something, then starting to drink again from 4:00 in the afternoon till 3:00 in the morning.
