because Benilyn (sp?) tastes really nice so someone should make a drink that tastes the same.
The only one I could think of off-hand was Aftershock Red, maybe?

I'm not entirely sure.
But you know what tastes better?
The banana flavoured medicine you got when you were a kid...
:D
I once threw up strawberry cough medicine by the canal
Few things can make me as upset as that can. Cos it was designed to help me and it made things worse.
Also, the taste has remained with me in the ten years since.
Is the fact
that you were next to a canal relevant?
Did you throw up onto a swan?
definitely jagermeister theo
Jagermeister
I agree, that stuff is lovely. The bottle even looks like an old fashioned medicine bottle.
me three
i drink it if i have a sore throat and have to play a gig
good stuff.
although it is PURE EVIL in a shot glass
Sorry
I didn't mean to ignore this. I threw up under a bridge.
There's a great photo of my dog being chased by a swan somewhere.
Booze tasting closest to cough syrup
Have you ever tried Buckfast? Exactly like warmed up Benilyn! Mmmm. We sadly get niether here in NZ.
*neither*
...And I haven't even started drinking yet...
this is a pulp song
in forumpost form.
I read the first line
in the style of Ewan McColl singing "Dirty Old Town"
Archers
has the consistency of cough syrup but is nice and apricot-y too.
Did anyone ever have
Galloways Syrup? My mum used to give it to me when I was little if I had a cough. You'd warm it up slightly first, it was lush. I used to fake a cough to get some of that stuff. Don't know if it's still available.
sambucca?
that just tastes of Bad
What tastes bad
Sambucca or Galloways? Yes, sambucca is evil in liquid form.
He said it tastes *of* bad
Quite an important difference, I'd say.
I fucking love sambuca
We did our pub quiz last night powered by Sambuca. We came fifth.
of 5?
by, I suspect, a big margin.
Sambucca is teh filth.
It tastes like
liquorice, which I hate even more.
Out of 13
Considering our team were two completely wasted fools, a fat stoner, an elderly Australian woman with yellow fingers and a drunk Scotsman who couldn't remember his own name, I think we did well.
Sambuca OWNS.
Sambucca owns WRONG
You heard.
You are the biggest, wrongest foolio in all of the land
I'm going to sambuca you to death. I love it. I just did a little burp and it tasted of sambuca. Mm, last night.
What would
sambuccaring to death entail? I'm intrigued.
I'm not sure yet
But it would involve being tied to some sort of chair and having some sort of mechanism that tips one shot of the 'buca in to the mouth every five minutes. Until you eventually die of aniseed poinsoning.
sounds
erotic
Everything I do is tinged with a slight dose of eroticism
which were you?
I'm not sure
I can't remember my own name though.
stef...
<abandon etc>
honorary_brixton_stef?
Eh?
Sorry, he just called you stef
And you're not from Brixton but you live round there. So I thought I'd make a satirical DiS comment based on Sophie's mate 'honorary_welsh_steph'.
You see?
Never mind...
oh the oh
ya
Midori (melon liqour thing) for defo!
riga black balsam
I would agree with
Buckfast. It tastes really like cough syrup.
When we were younger, my mate
used to make a cocktail of spirits from his Dad's drinks cabinet and mix it with cough medicine. He called it Beniyln Death.
It got him fucked.
Punk as fuck etc.
it is Jagermeister
no contest.
or Zwack Unicum
both taste of cough medicine, and booze you to death
you've just made that up
Au contraire
http://www.zwackunicum.hu/
ohh
did you bring me any back?
I've never tried this buckfast stuff though...
To be honest, Jager's just not sweet enough. After benylin you don't want to wash the taste away with something. This isn't true of Jagermeister.
Good point
perhaps you need to invent a cocktail?
absinthe
reminded me of some medicine i used to take when I was little.
Definitely Jagermeister.
Didn't you hear Theo?!?!?!
Jagermeister is not sweeeet enough!
It's also fucking horrible.
The reason I said
Riga Black Balsam
is that I drank loads of it in Riga
then two weeks later I had a cough and bought some cough syrup
which tasted the same
sambuca.
fucking rank, innit.
black...
aftershock.
strega tastes quite like vosene
does that count?
Jagermeister fo sure.
Buckfast
Easily. Though it's not [obviously] not nice. Just tastes like cough syrup and burns.
