Disadvantages: vomiting, blackouts, tastes a bit horrible

Picture the scene. i'm fifteen and looking forward to a friday night hanging around the local secondary school at a disco arranged by the students. Of course i need a drink, these are my teenage years it would be rude not to. So on a lunchtime we sneak out to browse at the local off license. There amongst the white lightning, thunderbirds (red and blue) and the bell'nor was a mustard coloured can with the words 'carlsberg' and 'special brew'. The most important figure is the 9% near the bottom. At the time it probably took about six cans of normal strength lager to send me a bit loopy so i thought about four would be right. Later that day i put my order in with the oldest looking kid in my class to get me my cans on friday. I seem to remember it being about £2 a can but i could be wrong ( or my brain could have been severely damaged by this stuff ).

Friday comes along with my cans trotting along beside it and we all tuck into our drinks. I remember being the only one drinking special brew so i was going this journey alone. The first taste was disgusting, a sort of sweet honey like taste mixed with wee, ( never tasted wee but i am sure it tastes like it smells ) and i wondered how i was going to get through the night. I needn't have worried because, after pinching my nose, it went down okay. Two cans later i was diving on bins in the tennis courts. Another can later i was dancing like a lunatic in the school gym, covered in mud and declaring my undying love to anybody who would listen. After my final can i was propped against a wall, vomiting till there was only dust in my stomach. I couldn't see and i could only hear in little mixed up slow segments. I woke up the next morning in my mates spare bed with a plastic bowl, half full of mucus and my trainer that i had probably thrown up the night previous.

Needless to say my 'mates' had a whale of a time re-enacting my escapades for many months after and i was la
belled as a bit of a 'baby belly'. That was until about three months later when i embarked on the special brew express once more. This time i was joined by three of my friends, I tried five cans and tried to pace myself but the result was the same. This time however i wasn't the only one in a state and came off considerably better than the others, even though i had drunk more ( i was the daddy ).

Since then i have only drank it on one occasion,. I was in a band and we were playing at the school, ( we rocked..... well, actually ) so i decided to have four cans. During our set i kept falling off the stage and at the finale i jumped through the drum kit leaving a five inch gash across my chest and a lot of bruises. After that i threw up violently and only remember being dragged to my mates house.

So six years later and i haven't drank it since, i would only recommend it to people who can handle a skinful, otherwise people who enjoy blacking out should give it a try. I might try it again one day although the though of it as i write this is making me feel a bit queasy.
