Any kind of stout destroys my intestines. I have no idea why - but its really any stout (guiness is less so than others).


I mean - its so bad I stopped drinking them despite really loving them. I even tried to slowly build a 'tolerance' with my intestines and it just didn't work.

If I have even one I will have doomed future me to a morning of urinating from his anus. A knee shaking, life altering experience. If I'm lucking I just go out of body.

Anyone else get this?
 
I concur with some of the other responses...for whatever reason, I seem to get wretchedly sick the next day after I drink stout. Like, maybe leave bed by 6 pm sick. (Yes, I am a pantywaist when it comes to being hungover.)

However, I think a partial cause may be that I don't really care for stouts that much, but for some reason one always sounds good as the 10th or 12th pint in a night. Then, after I've been brought home I am so anxious to fall into bed that I forget the requisite quart or two of water and an aspirin...and you know what happens then.

Now, I *love* me a Young's Double Chocolate Stout and that never seems to do me any harm. It may also be that I drink one and am done with beer for the evening.
 
drsocc, you're supposed to DRINK the stouts, not... whatever the hell it is YOU'RE doing with them....

I've had no problems, and I think I've tried about everything.

Of course, I've had more than a few "musical" mornings, so I don't know where that fits in.

I'm the same way. I don't have any problems but those around me might especially after attending the Spring Hop Fest I can be very aromatic. :D

My dad drank a Schlafly's one time and it made the uvula in the back of his throat swell up like a water baloon. It got so big he had to be careful to not accidently bite down on it. He was having trouble breathing so my mom wanted to take him to the hospital, but he wasn't going to have any of that. He just slept on his stomach to make sure he didn't choke on it in the middle of the night. The next morning he was fine. True story - you can't make this stuff up.

I believe it. Happens to me when I drink too much liquor. Haven't drank liquor like that in forever, but it feels like your are going to swallow your uvula. Didn't even know that word until today.

As for beer Heiny is the worst tasting thing I have ever tried to drink...on purpose.

Shiner Bock gives me a headache after two beers.
+1!!!

During my first visit to Texas (that lasted a couple of years), my barely 21 year old palate thoroughly enjoyed Shiner Bock. We often had it by the 1/2 barrel. The hangover was always painful. To this day, Shiner Bock makes me feel a little ill, even in small doses.

BMC doesn't bother me, except in its attempts to destroy the little guy. I drink it, sometimes in large quantities, usually because my friends have provided. I think of it more like soda pop that might give me a buzz rather than beer. If I get the chance to be present for a BMC purchase, I try to sway my bros to buy the aluminum bottles so I can reuse them. I have mostly given up on swaying them to drink better beer.
 
Interesting - only one mention of Rolling Rock so far, and none of the one that always used to give me a case of the Hershey Squirts: Moosehead. Way back in the day, the Moose won all sorts of taste tests (this was the 80s, and what was it competing against after all?). But it hit me worse than the Rock.

Oddly, I've had Sam's Cranberry Lambic and I thought it was a decent example of the class, though the cranberry flavor was a little odd. It never messed with my system - maybe if it had, I would have felt differently about the taste. I think you have to have a pretty solid constitution to have more than one or two lambics anyway.
 
the first beer i ever tried: rolling rock. I thought it tasted like death then, and my opinion of it has not changed. it's a wonder that i every drank another beer. even the smell of it makes me nauseous. i've only had about sixteen ounces of that devil piss in my entire life, and i regret every ounce.

and almost any bmc gives me a headache if i drink 2-3, any less or more and i'm fine.
 
molson canadian and smirnoff...i can have just about ne other beer with smirnoff or ne other vodka with canadian but that particular pair gives me the taco s**ts
 
For me its Dale's Pale Ale. I love the stuff, get it on draught at the local watering hole for happy hour - $2 for a 20 oz. Gives me a big head every time tho.
 
The first two that come to mind is "Hangover in a Bottle" which is better known as DF Fort.

And LeCoq gives me heartburn but it is TOTALLY worth it!!!
 
I occasionally get a headache from drinking too many beers, but I cant really say any particular beer makes me SICK. If I drink more than 2 Sweetwater 420's, I will have a headache the next day along with Budweiser and Boddingtons pub Ale.

I think it's more related to Free Amino nitrogen (FAN) produced fusel alcohols than anything else.
 
Miller lite will give me a headache after a couple. I'm kind of embarrassed saying I've ever drank Miller anything but its what my bro drinks.

Also Lienekugels Sunset Wheat kills my stomach after too many. I used to drink the hell out of that crap but now I cant handle it. Waaay to sweet for my tastes anymore. I wonder what changed to cause this turnabout
 
I am invincible

if you don't count the normal hangover stuff from tooo many beers, but they all do that to me, not special beers make me sick, unless its the taste, but i've rarely met a beer that I didnt like.
 
Michelob Amber Bock gives me some realllly smelly burps. Embarrassingly smelly burps...
 
I've never had trouble with any beer except chili beer. I don't mind one when the mood strikes, but any more than one gets my insides a-rumblin'.
 
Icehouse. Back in my college days this bar ran a special one night for 2 dollar icehouse pitchers. Me and a buddy drank I don't know how many of them. That was the last time I have ever had icehouse.
 
Rolling Rock gives me heart burn each and every time I drink it. Also, Newcastle Brown has made me puke twice from drinking a single beer, just something about it that doesn't agree with me.

I remember buying a variety pack of Unibroue with all their beers in it. I tried one of each and had the worst hangover of my entire life.
 
Gennesee or Genny Cream Ale always gave me headaches after about a half a glass. Have not had either in over 10 years.
 
No beer makes me sick at them time or gives me to much stomache issues. However. If I drink too many big micros or homebrews the next day my head will pay.
