Yeah can't drink beer, it must be my girliness coming out.

Mike's never drinking that again if possible, had a cranberry something and it made my stomach and throat burn. It was weird and definitely not fun.

That sounds sooo good!
Wish it was ok to drink at my desk... ;)

Ditto on the cement mixers.

Jager. Unless it's really, really cold. (I loathe anything anise flavored)

Bicardi Limon. Had a bad, bad, bad experience with this freshman year.

Now, I actually think the 101 degrees in the shade sounds pretty good, basically a bloody mary with beer. And that's basically how I drink my bloody marys anyway (I alternate every other round with a Miller Lite).

Oh, and Strip and Go Nakeds sound really bad (Beer, vodka and lemonade) but are really pretty good!

I can't drink red wine. A friend of mine had a box of it on his birthday and promptly puked it up and had a horrible night. Every time I even smell red wine it makes me think of cleaning up after him. Ugh...

I drink nothing that contains gin or tequila, and there's a shot glass drink called a Brain that I can't handle. blech.

No Jager for me and definitey no Jager bombs!

Anything with tequila. I've had enough bad experiences with it that you don't want me anywhere near it.

You've thrown up in Spanish, too?

Never, ever again!!

Jagermeister = cringe, I'm a Jim Beam-Jack Daniels man myself.

Would you eat food cooked in your own urine? Food scientists working for the US military have developed a dried food ration that troops can hydrate by adding the filthiest of muddy swamp water or even peeing on it.

The ration comes in a pouch containing a filter that removes 99.9 per cent of bacteria and most toxic chemicals from the water used to rehydrate it, according to the Combat Feeding Directorate, part of the US Army Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Massachusetts. This is the same organisation that created the "indestructible sandwich" that will stay fresh for three years (New Scientist print edition, 10 April 2002).

The aim is to reduce the amount of water soldiers need to carry. One day's food supply of three meals, weighs 3.5 kilograms but that can be reduced to about 0.4 kilograms with the dehydrated pouches, says spokeswoman Diane Wood.

The pouch - containing chicken and rice initially - relies on osmosis to filter the water or urine. When two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane, with gaps that allow only water molecules to pass through, the water is drawn to the more concentrated side.

The membranes are made of thin sheets of a cellulose-based plastic, with gaps between the fibres that are just 0.5 nanometres across, too small for bacteria to pass through.

A hungry soldier pours dirty water into one end of a foil sachet containing two inner pouches separated by the membrane. The water seeps through the membrane into the dehydrated food on the other side. As it dissolves large molecules in the food, it creates a very high concentration solution. The osmotic pressure created then draws more water through the membrane.

Hydration Technology of Albany, Oregon, which makes the membrane, says soldiers should only use urine in an absolute emergency because the membrane is too coarse to filter out urea.

The body will not find this toxic over the short term, says Ed Beaudry, an engineer with HTI, but rehydrating food this way in the long term would cause kidney damage.

Would ya do it if you were thrown into the most desperate situation?

Probably Everclear...I'm not a big fan of tequila straight (even good tequila), but I like it mixed into drinks.

I really, really dislike gin and anything anise flavored.

Same here. No matter how little. I've heard AWFUL things about Everclear, even from people with high tolerance for alcohol.

I can't drink Southern Comfort - one bad experience ruined it for me. Same thing with Ouzo. ick.

No tequila or gin. I'm getting used to the taste of beer even though my stomach used to turn at the smell of it. I am an Irish Car Bomb addict. I absolutely LOVE them.
