Well of course I am guilty of that. My problem is not so much the puking but that afterwards I have a bad taste for it -- I used to love scotch, now I cannot drink it without cringing because of that experience.
I had a similar incident with Southern Comfort. I used to love it but now I can't stand the smell of it.
I know a lot of people who've lost the taste for certain alcohols as a result of overconsumption. Lucky for me the only alcohol I can claim to have lost through this is Grand Mariner and I can still mix with that and don't have any problems.
I know what you mean. Gran Marnier and Sambucca are tied for the world's worst hangover precursors. Many years ago when traveling we had quite a bit of travel money left over so we went down to the hotel bar and had a Gran Marnier, followed by many more. It was a bad move. The next morning when our plane took off I thought I was going to die. I didn't lose my taste for the stuff, but I now limit myself, never having more than one small glass of the stuff at a sitting. It is still has its magic for me, but I treat it with respect.
My poor wife is suffering a liqueur hangover this morning. We were at by brother's for dinner last night. She had a few drinks before dinner, wine with dinner. Then we had some port. I had only one port, but she and my brother had a few more. Then he brought out some Kalhua and kept filling her glass. I told her that I did not want to hear her asking "Why did you let me drink so much?" . She made it to bed, but had to get up a few times to talk to the porcelain phone and she is still in bed feeling horrible. I wonder how my brother is feeling. He had to get up early and go to work.

i think it's a reaction to what the body perceives as 'food poisoning.' you have a learned aversion to something that made you sick.

your pal, blake
For me it would be Tequilla. Ended up w/a shiner the next day, after getting into a, sorta, disagreement w/a burly female bouncer. Never again...........
