The worst experience I had in college drinking was homemade apple cider at a party. It was very smooth and the effects of the alcohol didn’t hit me until I had consumed way too much and was nearly to the point of alcohol poisoning. I remember walking back to my apartment alone and nearly choking and passing out from my own vomit. It is a pretty terrible feeling, and I was incredibly vulnerable to all sorts of mishaps that night.
