It smelt really acidic and had a taste of sour over stewd cooking apples. One of the guys threw up in his tent and went back to sleep he was so drunk. Morning time when he crawled out the ground sheet of the tent was wrecked and that wasn't slept in again lol.

I layed down after they left, and after about 2 minutes thought "I need to go upstairs, im gonna puke"

I managed to sit upright just before blasting part 1 of 9 beers all over my bed and rug, then managed to get to a sink to let loose the rest.

Strill stinking drunk, i managed to clean the carpet, and get my sheets into the washer. I promptly passedout on my unfurnsihed bed.

I had to get up and go to work the next daym where i suffered for 2 hours before begging to go home. My mattress was ruined, the smell of vomit WOULD NOT come out. As luck would have it, i had a new bed arriving that day anyway. :D

I also discovered spicy food makes me feel better if i am sick or hung over.

These are the sort of reasons why I stopped drinking strong cider :D ...opening the door and pissing in a wardrobe was my lowest one, not my wardrobe thankfully.

I'm not much of a drinker these days, enjoy a couple of pints or some wine with dinner now.

Well considering cider is made from apples I'm pretty sure that counts lol. (Generally though, unless its alcoholic then it isnt really cider. We have non-alcoholic sparkling apple drinks but they are talking about the alcoholic type :)) Although I have seen a cider made from different fruits before, but generally speaking ciders are always apples.

They are big in UK, especially old fashioned village type communities in the south west of england. We have loooooooads of different kinds, and there isnt ONE bar that wont at least have strongbow on tap, or pint bottles of Magners (which is an irish cider enjoyed on the rocks).

Cider is a cloudy, brown drink made from apples. Hard Cider, is an alchoholic beverage made from cider. it doesnt necessarily have to be alcoholic to be cider.

That being said, around here they have woodchuck hard cider, which is pretty damn good, but i usually choose beer over everything.
