Hic!

I wonder what the effect of actually drinking aftershave would be? It's often occurred to me that Ogallala Bay Rum with Lime and Peppercorns might go well with Coke, and some ice. Pinaud Clubman with a slice of lemon...mmm?

Surely the alcohol content would be harmless. I suppose it would would be any chemical additives that could be dangerous. Anyone tried drinking any A/S?

Only Meths. But it makes a crap AS. :lol:

Along similar lines, there was a chap on shavemyface that used Listerine as an a/s. The ingredients are quite similar to an a/s splash, but I don't know about the proportions.

My wife accidentally swallowed a capful of Plax, and no sooner had it entered her stomach, it exited again! Kind of 'bounced' out of there.

Not aftershave, but the top layer / film of a tin Brasso is nice with Um Bongo.

My first thought was wondering how you stumbled across the combination, then I wondered if we have Brasso in the house and then if the shop at the bottom of the road sells Um Bongo.

I have liberally drunk Yardley Gold.

Fortunately my gut was lined with several pints of Worthies. I cannot report any undue effects from the alcohol, but i can report that it makes your fags taste funny and burping aftershave all evening is not attractive - according to Mrs M.

So, I would not really recommend it.

I havent seen Um-Bongo for years.
I thought that they had stopped making Kia-Ora too untill I came across it at work.

I once treated a wino in A & E (who had the smelliest pants in the universe) and he attempted to drink the alcohol hand rub we use. Not recommended as it tastes foul.

If I remember correctly, it's mainly drank in equatorial Africa.

Ah yes, the Congo

Actually they had a discussion about this on Test Match Special a couple of years ago - someone was looking at the list of exports from Congo and it wasn't listed at all....

The Um Bongo comments start around Lunch and get progressively more bizarre as the session continues.

I've never tried A/S, however in the 60s when I worked in Cranstonhill in Glasgow the down & outs used to steal milk bottles from front doors & run gas from the tenement gas mantles through it before consuming it. I kinda imagine that A/S must be a step up from that.

JohnnyO. :roll:

 

[wspiral]

Question is, would prolonged consumption of aftershave cause blindness?!

I've seen people drink EdC a few times, got them drunk (and smell nice)

I read an article on the BBC a few months ago saying that some hospitals have removed hand sanitisers because people drink the stuff.

Not sure I want to try that though...

Ahhh. The TMS "As it happens" updates. Pure gold - what the internet was invented for, in my opinion. And whatever happened to New Zealand tail-ender Chris Martin? In a team comprised entirely of Number 11 batsmen, he'd be batting at 11.

The contributions are always best when there's an interruption to play. My favourite was the "office japes", in which I learned that on most Windows PC's and laptops, if you press "ALT+GR" and the up or down arrow simultaneously, the screen display flips upside down. Imagine the fun that you can have with colleagues who (a) wander off and with a blatant disregard for security procedures, forget to lock their computer and (b) panic easily when anything goes slightly wrong.
I had one such colleague who spent a good half hour trying to work with an inverted display before I stopped laughing for long enough to sort it out for him.
What fun.
