- gingerjim,
It could well have been that one, although to be fair it was one of the better grades of schnapps. Some of them were pure firewater. I remember the first night out I had in Hannover and it was the usual routine to get the new boys well and truly blotto. I was given a bier with a chaser called (if my spelling is correct) Ratzeputz. This was like liquid pepper and the game was you had to have at least six to become a 'member of the club'. It was a good job it was a Friday night as I was in bed for the whole of Saturday @ Sunday. That one really did come back at you even if you only had water to drink. The lads always referred to it as 'Rats Piss'. I will add that I never renewed my membership!!
I always stuck to.....
Noch ein bier,
Norman. In Nienburg young idiots used to drink a concoction called a Traffic Light. The ingredients were, I think Ratzeputz (red), weinbrandt (amber) and Escorial (green). The barman poured each one carefully so that they lay on top of each other, red amber and green. No, I never tried it ! | |

| Digressing slightly, I once bought a bottle of unidentifiable clear alcohol in Kyrenia, it was 99% proof. When I brought it home I tried it neat and it was disgusting I then tried it with Coke, even more disgusting, so I poured it away. Next time I went out to Cyprus I spotted a guy cleaning his plastic garden furniture with the stuff!, | |

| In Nigeriia ,the locals made a rather tasty brew called "Palm Wine" which was a milky colour. I persuaded one of them to sell me s bottel (for coppers),my intention being to bring it back to the UK.After a couple of days the stuff became clear so i decided to check if it was ok.Eureka i discovered the proverbial paint stripper. A few days later when i was almost back to normal i mentioned it to one of the locals,who with a big grin said IT MUST BE DRUNK WITHIN TWO DAYS. Apparently,the longer you keep it,the more toxic it becomes |
