Bloody mary's happen to be the most delicious drink ever concocted.

I like mine with fresh cracked pepper, tabasco, worchestire sauce, celery salt, and some fresh peppers as garnish.

Feel free to discuss.

try it with a pickled asparagus in it.

caesars are better than bloody mary's though.

caesars do in fact whoop the shit outta some bloody mary's. I do however, greatly enjoy either.


And in my own personal experience...they are the ultimate hangover cure!

A Bloody Mary and a Full Monty English Breakfast will defeat any hangover ever suffered by man.

Bloody Mary is the second best pre-11am drink. After champagne.

For any time of day it slips to about 5th.

PS: I once had a Texan Bloody Mary and it was fucking foul! Replacing vodka with tequila is such a spectacularly bad idea. . .

I've never heard that referred to as a Texan Bloody Mary, but it does sound foul.

I don't know what they pour on your side of the pond, or how they name it. But we commonly drink champagne and orange juice here at morning events. They are called Mimosas, but I don't know the particular history of that drink off hand.

ick, what you describe as a Texan Bloody Mary is definitely not what you'll find around here!

Is a Bloody Mary the best hangover drink because it makes you throw up? I always felt better after throwing up when I had a severe hangover.

Posted: January 2, 2007, 2:10 pm
by Zamtuk
um, no. They don't make you throw up at all. The added vodka makes the hangover pretty much disappear. And the sweet, sweet mixture of tomatoes and spices (listed above) makes for an excellent choice of breakfast.

If I'm not mistaken, that's more commonly referred to as a Bloody Maria.

I hate tomato juice, so I don't care for either variety.

Had a good Bloody Mary before a New Year's dinner at a Spanish Restaurant. Even though the drink was not quite as spicy as I would like it, they garnished with some thinly sliced cured Chorizo and some kind of Spanish cheese, which was fantastic.

What you fruity Burundians refer to as a Mimosa is called a "Bucks Fizz" over here. Which is a very VERY gay name.

The Texan Bloody Mary was served to me in the Texan Embassy (the real one from when Texas was a country recognised by GB) and its the only time i've come across such an abomination.

Jaegermeister is the foulest shite ever. I once saw someone passed a glass-full one morning by someone who told him it was a coke. THey look very similar and the poor hungover fool took a big gulp without waiting. . .

I stopped drinking Jaeger in high school.

And yes, mimosa's are pure faggotry.

That's not really the old embassy building, but there was once one in London and also one in Paris before Texas became a state in the US. I was interested in going there when I was in London in September, but after I found out it wasn't really the old embassy building I didn't care quite so much.

Here's some info on Wikipedia about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_embassy

I once drank a liter of Jaegermeister on a bet. I was 19 or 20 and always welcomed a good challenge.

Suffice to say that one didn't make the list of good decisions that I've made in my life. It's been 10 years and just the sight of that crap often makes me queasy to this day.

I won the bet though, and collected $100 (and probably Cirrhosis of the Liver) for my efforts. I think now I'd rather pay $100 than have to drink a sip of it.

Double Olives, a Pickle, and a Prawn off the side. Like eating rather than drinking.

Caesars are definitely better IMO. I prefer 'The Works' or the 'Extra Spicy' type of Clamato over the regular one with Tobasco added in.

I'll need to try them as a hangover cure some day!

Addressing multiple posts.

1. It cures a hangover because there's alcohol in it. :p

2. Bloody Maria sounds familiar! (though it still sounds foul)

3. Jaegermeister is indeed fucking foul. I can drink it, and do in emergencies...but it's far from preferred.

4. Mimosas are indeed a pretty limp drink. But they are literally served at any brunch function I have ever attended in the south. Subsequently I end up pouring them for the ladies at family functions quite often. (hint, pour the champagne first) Bucks Fizz sounds hilarious though. I'll have to remember that!

Yeah well drinking to excess is hardly on the Healthy Living Plan For Longevity either so it's fighting fire with fire to an extent :P

I wouldn't recommend drunken bender->bloody mary->full monty every day of the week but every so often YUM YES PLEZE

Now I'm hungry and thirsty and it's only 9.40am. Shit.

Do you know what another name for a Virgin Mary is (Bloody Mary without the vodka) ?

Bloody Shame.

And a morning regiment of grease and salt to balance the alkalytes or whatever and to uhhh...and uhhh...oh fuck it, it just tastes good.

Bah Bloody Marys are okay. But the best cure for a hangover on this planet is Mimosas accompanied by live Jazz under the Wisteria on the patio at The Court of Two Sisters Brunch Buffet. Pure freaking heaven...Oh they make a wicked Bloody Mary as well if you prefer...:)

I did the liter challenge with Golshlager (sp)

I however, if i recall right, had 2 hours to do it. I was wasted off my ass but I can still drink the stuff, I never got sick. The last 10 minutes were like 3 shots in a row, but I was too drunk to care at that point, and I passed out around 45 minutes later.

Did you just down the liter all at once? If you did you're fucking nuts.

I'm with Sylvus on the hating Bloody Mary's thing.

My intensive personal research has revealed that a hangover consists of three parts:

1. Nausea
2. Dehydration
3. Withdrawal

So the ideal hangover cure deals with all three parts. For me, it's something to settle my stomach, a gatorade, and a beer. Back to normal in no time.

PS: I love Jaeger.

The enjoyable sensation of a good bloody mary deals with those three things.

Of the three liqours I can't drink, Jager and Schlager are two of them, with tequila coming in third. Just plain worn out on Jager and tequila (though i can still drink a good margarita or mixed drink with it), and I drank a 1/2 a fifth of goldschlager in under 30 seconds at 9am during a beach trip.

And almost drowned in 1 foot of water.

I have yet to find a hangover (of my own) that can't be cured by some combination of the following S's (not necessarily in this order):

1. Shit
2. Spank
3. Shower
4. Smoke Pot
5. Some greasy food

2, 3, and 5 are the most important. Repeat as necessary.



As far as the Jaeger was concerned, I sat at a table and poured a shot, took a shot, poured a shot, took a shot, till I'd won the bet... I think it took me a little over an hour. I went to sleep in a bed that night and woke up nude on a couch in another room, with a bit of a mess to clean up in the bedroom, and it was at my friend's parents' house.

I STRONGLY DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM EVER ATTEMPTING THAT, IT'S BAD IDEA JEANS

You left off drinking a liter of water, but otherwise that is what I do exactly. Hasn't failed yet. Oh and Jaeger is decent, but definately not my favorite for shots (Tequila takes that). Jaegerbombs are the shit though. Always make for an exciting (and hyper) night.

gatorade is better if you can stomach it. hangovers are caused by the alcohol draining the electrolytes from your body. you get the same effects of a hangover if you sweat too much from physically exerting yourself.

water is ok, but you have to drink more of it.

A lot of times I'll grab a gallon jug of water from the fridge and just chug as much of it as I can before I go to bed.

If I still feel crappy in the morning I'll wait an hour or so and look for some gatorade or powerade, they both work wonders in the morning. Never tried either at night.

I've had hangovers that kept me in bed until 3pm, with a garbage bag and a gallon of water at my side. Worst headache ever, way worse than any migraine I've ever had, ugh. Had 3 of those in my life and I'll never forget any of them.

I absolutely LOVE bloody marys. I suggest complete with all the fixins (olives, pickles, worchestire sauce, pepper). I also discovered that a touch of A1 adds a little something to any good bloody mary.

As for Jaeger - only enjoy with some red bull.
