Advantages: Strong, Tastes ok

Disadvantages: Erases all memory of your previous life

I have tried numerous times to be scientific in my research of Aftershock. I have drunk vast quantities of the stuff and tried to document the effect it had on the quality of my night out, but in the end I have had to admit defeat. You see, dear friends, I have stumbled upon just about the only disadvantage of Aftershock - I can never remember a bl**dy thing afterwards. So here I am again on a Sunday morning wondering what the hell happened to me last night: Did I have a good time? Did I get into an arguement with my friend? Did I pull? Did I get arrested on the way home for trying to have sexual intercourse with a llama? Your guess is as good as mine.

Anyway, on with the review. Aftershock comes in two flavours: cinnamon and citrus, but they are commonly refferred to as red or blue. I first stumbled upon it in my student union bar about two years ago, but it has since gained in popularity and even my dads local stocks it now, though I think (or should that be hope?) that he is yet to sample its delights. Therefore it can now be purchased just about anywhere. However, it does seem to be quite pricey in most places, so expect to pay around a couple of quid for a shot (don't worry, you won't need many).

The cinnamon flavour is my least favourite of the two, but is not unpleasant. It tastes rather like mouthwash. Only cinnamon. Whereas the blue Aftershock tastes rather more refreshing, for want of a better word, and is also similar to mouthwash. And both are quite sweet, so you are blissfully unaware, at first taste, that you are actually drinking alcohol at all. That is, until ten minutes and several shots later when you are either A) On the floor, B) In the toilet phoning Huey, or C) On the kareoke singing It's Raining Men to your bemused friends.

The way to drink Aftershock is simple, but not as simple as with other drinks such as Whisky (or whiskey, if you prefer). You take it into your mouth (easy tiger) and swill it around w
hilst you count to twenty. Then you down it and breath in sharply. If you are still alive you then drag yourself to the bar for another one. Repeat process until you no longer know your name, where you live or can no longer say the words "Aftershock please".

I think that just about sums up Aftershock. Except for saying that you must try a purple one (a shot of red and a shot of blue in the same glass). Oh, and I almost forgot: Poo and frogs. Just to keep Charlie happy. See you in the next life.
