December 31 is a day when even those who usually do not drink drink. And those who usually drink are thinking about how to do it in an unusual way. However, refraining from unnecessary experiments in this case will the best choice. Scientists and narcologists explain why.
The Daily Mail website published a new study by Hal Sosabowski, a scientist from the University of Brighton in the UK, according to which the use of such exotic drinks as sherry and port wine can lead to severe hangovers.
In his opinion, medium-strength drinks - about 20% alcohol content - are easily absorbed by the body, which is why they carry the greatest danger in the form of a hangover. Strong alcohol is absorbed more slowly, suppressing the work of the stomach, and light drinks, in turn, will also prevent you from getting drunk quickly due to the relatively low degree.
However, this fact does not apply to carbonated drinks, especially sparkling wines: the carbon dioxide contained in them helps the alcohol to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The same goes for beer.
It is also worth considering that if you drink strong alcohol water or other soft drinks, this will lead to the very “easily digestible” alcohol concentration of 20% and rapid intoxication.
For the same reason, you should not mix strong alcohol with low-alcohol drinks.
The myth that if you do not lower the degree, you can avoid serious consequences, has long been debunked. But there is one more useful advice from experts: you should not mix drinks from different raw materials in one evening - this is stated on the Hangover.Rf portal, created by toxicologists, hepatologists and narcologists.
This means that if you drink drinks from grain alcohol - and this is vodka, whiskey, schnapps, vodka and other strong drinks, then they do not need to be accompanied by derivatives from grape alcohol - this is wine, port wine, cognac, sherry, grappa and so on. With rum, gin, absinthe and tequila, you should be more careful and look at the compositions, since they can be produced from different, and sometimes initially mixed, raw materials.
Expert opinions differ, but if you collect all the above tips, it turns out that cocktails will be the most dangerous, since they often mix alcohol from different raw materials, sugar syrups and soda, as a result of which the average strength of the drink may well be dangerous 20 degrees. Based on these criteria, we have compiled a selection of the most insidious cocktails that are definitely not worth drinking in new year's eve. And never at all.
Deadly classic
Even if you don't drink cocktails, you probably know about the Northern Lights, because those who have tried it usually do not forget this. According to the recipe for it, you need to mix vodka with sparkling wine in a 1: 2 ratio, add ice, honey, lemon juice and a sprig of rosemary to smooth out the taste.
The combination of grain alcohol with grape alcohol, as well as carbon dioxide, will do the trick.
There is another equally aggressive variation from this category - "Striking Hammer", which is made from vodka and red wine.
Irish Madness
Irish cocktails are quite specific. Take, for example, the Irish Car Bomb, a cocktail made up of stout, cream liqueur and Irish whiskey.
The strange name is a reference to the car bombs stuffed with IRA fighters that went up in the air in Northern Ireland in the 70s.
Another example of a killer alcoholic invention from Ireland is Johnny's Hopper. Everything is simple here: a shot of whiskey is thrown into 1/2 pint of cider. You can experiment with varieties of ingredients for taste, but the effect, if anything, will be the same.
Sailors are bad jokes
According to legend, the Captain's Sea cocktail was invented by a Seattle bartender named Harry Porter more than half a century ago: the bulk of his customers were sailors who liked rather hard drinks. This cocktail contains whiskey, dry champagne, bitters and absinthe. For its effect, the drink was even nicknamed "distilled dynamite."

However, keep in mind that whatever combinations you use, mixing liquids of different strengths almost always produces a real time bomb effect on the consumer. Write in the comments which version of this cocktail you liked the most and tell us why. I will also be very grateful for new ideas and successful combinations in the manufacture of the Depth Charge. Thank you for your time and good luck with your experiments!
The Depth Charge cocktail recipe contains the following ingredients
- Chilled beer (150 ml)
- Vodka (50 ml)
- Orange (1 pc)
- Sugar (2 teaspoons)
History of the Depth Charge Cocktail Recipe:
The recipe for the Depth Charge cocktail is also known as the boilermarker. He was the founder of American bar culture. It can rightly be called the grandfather of cocktails, as it has been made since the 1930s. You may have seen this cocktail in some of the popular Hollywood movies like Bad Bears, The Nutty Professor and Brawl. The recipe for the Depth Charge cocktail is very easy to make, which is very convenient for the bartender. The depth charge is notable for being a beer cocktail sipped with a shot of whiskey or tequila. You can drink tequila in a big gulp and then drink beer or do it in another way, pour it into a glass and drown it in a glass of beer, undoubtedly the second option is more artistic. Well, in conclusion of the story, I would like to say that the cocktail has always been prepared from the most expensive strong alcohol drinks, tequila or vodka.

Cocktail Irish car bomb is remembered for its chocolate-milk flavor with hints of sweetness. The drink will appeal to lovers of stout beer. Fortress - about 8% vol.
History reference. The "Irish car bomb" refers to a group that appeared in the 1930s in the United States. The idea is simple - drop a shot of hard liquor into a glass of beer and drink in one gulp. The author of the recipe and the origin of the Irish version are unknown.
According to one version, the name was given because of the quick intoxication caused by the cocktails of this group.
Attention! The Irish Car Bomb cocktail is not recommended in bars in Ireland and Britain, as it is believed to be related to the Irish Republican Army (IRA), a terrorist organization that aims to achieve the independence of Northern Ireland from Great Britain.
Composition and proportions:
- stout beer (Guinness) - 300 ml;
- cream liqueur (Baileys) - 20 ml;
- Irish whiskey (Jameson) - 20 ml.
Each of the brands of alcohol indicated in the ingredients has analogues. For example, instead of Guinness, you can take Murphy’s, Baileys can be replaced with Carolans, and Jameson with Bushmills. The main idea is that all drinks are Irish.
Cocktail recipe Irish car bomb
1. Pour beer into a glass, wait until the foam settles at least half.
2. Pour into a glass (shot) Baileys, then whiskey. You can not stack drinks in layers.
3. In the center of the beer glass, carefully, so as not to break through the bottom, lower the glass with liquor and whiskey.

final stage of preparation.
The cocktail with the prickly name "Irish car bomb" has American roots. According to the Americans themselves, it was they who invented it. In Russian, there is also another name for this drink - an Irish depth bomb.
Irish Car Bomb alcoholic drink recipe
Guinness beer is poured into a beer glass. Then Jameson Irish whiskey is poured into a standard glass up to half, the second half is filled with Baileys cream liqueur. After that, a glass of whiskey and liquor is lowered into a stout and, until the drinks are mixed, it is all drunk vigorously.
If you don't have Jameson whiskey, Bushmill's whiskey or any other brand can be used. You need to drink this Irish Car Bomb cocktail immediately and in one gulp, because after a few seconds after mixing the drinks, the liquor will curdle and it will become impossible to drink the drink.
Ingredients:
- Guinness beer;
- Irish whiskey Jameson;
- Baileys cream liqueur.
The piquancy of this alcoholic drink is that it is rather risky to order it in an Irish bar. This cocktail here is associated with real car bombs during the conflicts in Northern Ireland. When ordering such a drink, you may be ignored or even kicked out of the bar.
Americans call this cocktail Irish because it contains Irish spirits.
And here is how they prepare this drink themselves. Let's watch the video.
