This isnt the worst drink I ever tasted but it was funny, my brother was at art school and used to bring his work home, so we had oil paints turps etc, well one morning he was working away mixing his paint and cleaning his brushes in the turpentine (not beeing that well off he had it in a tea cup) after a while the turps had taken on the look of milky tea so in walks my mam (thats geordie for mother) well she hates to waste anything so she took a big swig of the turpentine tea before we had chance to stop her , needless to say that was one habit that she stopped straight away alas she spent a few hours in the lav(thats geordie for the ladies room).

On a similar note. I was about 10 years old and was over at a friends house playing outside. It was hot and I got thirsty so I went into his house to find something to quench my thirst. I headed for the kitchen sink to get some water when I spotted, what looked like ginger ale in a glass. Thinking it's be better than tap water I gulped it down. Turn out to be bleach. ...[text shortened]... the hospital where I had my stomach "pumped". I have since then, not cared for the smell of bleach.

man you were lucky.

Indeed I was. We found out at the hospital, had I thrown up there could have been irreparable damage done to my throat.

My question would be did it affect your brain any?

They continue to study that. They are saying that in some weird way it may have made me smarter. I have never had another drink of bleach.
