Most memorable was chili vodka in Moscow, especially since the only way to relieve the hangover was to drink fizzy bottled mineral water that smelt of rotten eggs. I sometimes think that the wine was a deciding factor when we moved to France...Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211663940952195703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10215844.post-74215909086553308282007-11-26T23:12:00.000+01:002007-11-26T23:12:00.000+01:00May I contribute Advokaat (snot in a glass)as the ...May I contribute Advokaat (snot in a glass)as the most revolting liquor?<BR/><BR/>Oh sorry, were you eating?Antipodeessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17559657306491019975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10215844.post-42241998158241690912007-11-24T10:49:00.000+01:002007-11-24T10:49:00.000+01:00>Babycham and cider in the same glass or separatel...>Babycham and cider in the same glass or separately?<BR/><BR/>Mixed in the one glass!

It couldn't have been very strong though as I could never drink enough to get drunk. But it didn't take many cider and babychams to do the trick. Lethal combination.
