Mine was Rock&Rye. At the age of 17 in Jan. 1954 I enlisted in the USMC. On the train from Penn Station to boot camp at Parris Island I drank a few bottles of that stuff and was sick as a dog. Arriving at 5 am at PI and DIs screaming at me I thought I was going to die. Never touched the stuff again.

Cured me too.
At a remote "Town" in the Kimberly region of Western Aust, a mate & I drank scotch & dry till stumps. We had 20 odd miles to drive back to camp & I realised I couldn't see enough to drive, I hung out the window chucking while the mate drove. Next morning we saw our tracks & realised the only time we were on the road was when we crossed it.
Like you, never touched it since, in 50 years. Wife drinks it like a fish.

I guy in a hotel runs into the bar and says "Give me a glass of water". And runs out. He done this about four times. So the bartender asked? What's with all the water? He replies "My rooms on fire".

Unlike you guys, I am an experienced scotch drinker. Although since I was 22, I have never overdone it. That's because when I was 22, I attended a party where the host sat me down, handed me a Ronald McDonald Happy cup and a fifth of rot gut called Old Fedcal, (sold by the now-defunct Fedco Department Store chain). I downed the entire fifth in about an hour and was plastered beyond belief. We watched a 16mm Flash Gordon movie that night and when it came time to change reels, I was asked to do the task. Being a UCLA film school grad, I obliged and stumbled to the projector, only to realize that when it came time to focus the image, I couldn't see the screen. I awakened the next morning, face down in a pizza box and with a hangover that lasted two full days. I couldn't hold down Pepto Bismol and suffered through the fluorescent light buzz at the studio in which I was working. (No one else could even hear the buzz.) People who first met me at that party, some of whom remain friends to this day, remember me as the guy they were stepping over that night.

Should have used it on that guy's room fire.

Same here except it was Gin at age 15. Even today the scent of Gin makes me sick.

Developed taste I assure you and straight over ice and on rare occasions with a twist of lemon. It needs to be a good brand too. I prefer the Dewers label.

Been there done that once. I used to Dj karaoke when not being a pro-photographer. I drank my fill of bar scotch and walked out after loading my gear back into the truck with money in hand. Still prefer a good brand of scotch over the local bar scotch they carried. When pulled over one night after leaving and going home the cop said my truck smelled like a bar. I informed I had been working in one and the beer was spilled on my speaker box. He insisted on breath test that I passed but wrote me up any way. Court said wreck less op. I said not and of course the court always wins. So I paid and judge told cop next time make sure you got a drunk not just a working man who was tired from working all day.

Spend it. At this age of my life I've decided I'm too old to drink warm beer or cheap booze.

Hello. I am 86 years of age. Early in 2017 I started having stomach pains. The end result was the removal of an infected gall bladder and a gallstone. I endured diarrhea for a week, wondering if this was how the rest of my life was going to be, but I became regular (as I had always been) on the 8th day. Huzzah! Since then, I have not had a decent nights sleep, waking up approximately every 2 hours to go wee. Swell! Whenever I drive anyplace now I try to remember if there is a public restroom there. So much for going new places! Fortunately the camera shop I frequent has a toilet that I can use. I won't bore you about my outrageous gas. A word to the wise: don't ever get old! Best to all, and Film Forever!

Cut down on bath rooms trips by just eliminating the 2 drops of water, just drink the scotch!!

I actually hardly drink at all. I suffer the repercussions so hard that it is hardly worth it. But your story made me laugh. . .now I have to visit the little girl's room.

Wait a minute...I'll go with you!
