I always knew this day would come. The day when I had to review the devil’s brew. There’s probably not another liquor out there that has caused more memory loss, fights, bad dancing, puking, public nudity, DUIs, and just flat out stupid mistakes (like babies) all in one night as much as Bacardi 151. I’m sure everyone has his or her own story, or at least a 30-min tale from what can be recalled involving this giant of drunkness, and a few of we lucky ones even have a police report and something they call “video evidence” to help us remember our 151 nights. Bacardi 151 holds a special spot with me because it’s the first liquor I ever consumed (That explains a lot doesn’t it?). It was my usher for my first experince into the wasted world. That night, I even met my first serious girlfriend, a.k.a the b!$@%. I guess it was a halfway good night.
I wasn’t able to find much about the creation 151 on Bacardi’s website; hell, they don’t even have it listed as one of thier products. It’s okay. There is a lot I can learn just from the bottle. This stuff is strong. Any bottle with as many warnings and danger signs printed on it has to have something good inside, right? There’s even a flame arrester under the cap. A flame arrester is basically a metal grid that stops flames from getting into the bottle and turning your bottle of ‘pain go bye-bye’ juice into a molotov cocktail of death. On the other hand, it also causes the booze to pour really slowly. This can be a problem when you’re in a hurry to drown the problems of your day. So again, it’s a half good/half bad situation.
Now lets get down to brass tax. Should you drink Bacardi 151 by itself? No! Don’t do it. On to mixing this firewater…wait, what’s that you say? Why not drink this rum by itself? Why would you even try this? If you have to wonder why you shouldn’t just, sip Bacardi 151 on ice, then you’ll understand why shouldn’t be drinking it. The taste is a horrbile one. It’s like gasoline aged in an oak barrel. You will actually wish that your taste buds would go numb so the pain will stop, but they never do fast enough. This liquor isn’t something people drink for its flavor. There are only two reasons to drink 151: a) to solve problems, or b) to cause problems.
As far as I’m concerned, mixed is the only way to enjoy Bacardi 151. But don’t be fooled into thinking that mixing Bacardi 151 will drown out that firewater taste, because it won’t. I mixed one and a half shots with 32oz of Coke, and the 151 still burns through. Dr. Wade recommends taking 151 in mixed shots. I know that sounds like a sissy way of drinking, but there are no sissies when it comes to this stuff. There are only fools and the people who drive them.
Now just because I said drink 151 in shooters doesn’t mean you should go crazy with it. You will get drunk, and it will come quickly, very quickly. By my third drink, I was drunk. By my fifth, I was walking like I was in the depths of and ether binge. This isn’t one of those tricky liquors that you can’t tell you’re drunk from until you get up to walk. You’ll be able to tell when that chair you have been sitting in all night starts to feel more a bucking mechanical bull (a very mean and nasty mechanical bull). Now, I want everyone to get a pad and write this down. I’ll wait. Okay, ready? Bacardi 151 isn’t a drink you want to give to that lucky lady to make you seem more tolerable or attractive. They go from zero to puke in minutes. You’ll be holding her hair back and listening to her cry in no time. Secondly, it is a decent drink to start the night. Bacardi 151 is not a drink you want to start drinking after you are already drunk. If you do, you won’t be able to remember who you are the next day, and that’s if you can get the room to stop spinning long enough to make it to the next day.
Since we are on the subject of the next day, let me just say, fear it. I awoke with a hangover that made crawling an incredible task. The worst part was that I had to work in the morning. I spent most of the day trying to find places to puke secretly. It was so bad I had to carry a trash can around in front of me so I could throw up and keep walking. My head felt like that mechanical bull I was riding the previous night was rattling around inside my skull the whole time, and it continued to do so.
Bacardi 151 comes at a easy price of around $25 for a 750ml bottle at your local place of spirit purchase. That price is pretty fair for the amount of drunk you can get out of a bottle. A good drunk is priceless. If you find your days have become far too long and you just want to get really drunk in a hurry, or hell, if you just enjoy a good hangover, give this rum a try. But be warned, this is not for the feint of heart. It really hurts to get that fun drunk with this stuff. Bacardi 151 will give you some fun times and great stories. Sadly, it won’t be you telling them. All your friends will. You’ll be too busy trying to figure out where your pants are and why there is a tattoo of some guy’s name on your ass.

i aint played this game in a while…might just have to again soon.
And what a game it is.
This stuff is dangerous!
You guys are pansies if Bicardi 151 knocks you on your ass, must be a womans only drink. (jkjk)
I’ll gladly take the title than drink that stuff. Bad experiences.
Speaking of 151. I’ve had a bottle of it on my dresser for over a month. Hmmm
wow 151 proof liquor tastes like shit, gets you really really drunk and leaves you with a horrible hangover. who would’ve thought?
i know. I could have never guessed it.
Was 2.5 on sipability a little generous? I haven’t been able to touch this stuff since my buddy had a free bottle that “fell off the back of the truck” at Wal-Mart. Even at free, it was a bad idea.
man i don’t even touch this stuff anymore. damn.
It’s my favorite drink. Hands down. Don’t give it to “that” girl, though. She’ll be peeing and puking in all of the wrong places before either one of you knows it. I think I’ll get a bottle tonight!
Oddly enough, I can take this stuff SRAIGHT easier than I can tequila…
For a great effect, try lighting a small amount of this stuff on fire (in a heat-resistant glass) – the flame will burn bright blue for about 15 minutes!!!
No wonder they put a flame arrester on it
;)
This stuff, straight up, HURTS. But he wasn’t kidding when he said it gets you some good drunken stories. Hell, half of my drinking stories come from Bacardi 151. It gave me my nickname back in high school! It’s downright ridiculous!
Wow you really couldn’t take this stuff alone in shots? a dragons blood (redbull, grenadine, 151 and cinnamon schnapps) and a shot of 151 are how I start the night.
151 isn’t all that bad. Of course it gets you drunk, but Everclear is much more fun.
okay the last time i was on this stuff, all i remember is two things..
Trying to get it from my RA…(ahhhh)
and my roomate yelling at me at 5 in the morning, “hey dude there is like a hole half a bottle of this left, lets take some more shots..”"
and thanks when i puked all over the floor……
(true story)
I got completely pwn3d by this stuff I think, I cant really remember anything except waking up naked in my own vomit…
I love this stuff. Haven’t had it in a while though.
Used to drink it straight. Shots.
It’s like drinking fire. Hardcore shit.
this was my signature drink for sum tyme every where i went i was the gurl with the 151 n if i didnt have it people would ask y not lol hmmm MANY drunkin nights with this one most i cant ever member but it happens with this shit . 151 taste like fire the min it goes dwn ur throat n burns ur insides lol i still drink it even though one day i woke up with a swollen eye n ankle n the worst hangova ever, guys drink with caution please but overall its a good price n gets u feelin drunk quicker then the more pricey shit
To some a Caribou Lou, and to others a Tweakin Puerto Rican: (151/Malibu/pineapple juice) Mix as a drink or shot. go nuts
Good answer, I am looking for the solution of the same question. Find the movies or mp3 you are looking for at http://all-shares.com the most comprehensive source for free-to-try files downloads on the Web
I prefer to take this with a shot.. called the Illinois Back draft.. you will need a scotch glass and a lighter.. 3 parts .. bottom is Wild Turkey 101 and amaretto in the middle… pour 151 on the top and light it..now in a quick fashion cover the top of the glass completely with the center of your palm until the flame goes away and it will be stuck to your hand…raise it to your mouth and shoot it…but cover the glass as soon as you shot it. once your over the taste suck the fumes out of the glass… I got 15 people in Bloomington Indiana to do it at once. It was a great time and a bad loss of 300 dollars that night.
I actually thought my money would have lasted longer if I had lit it on fire too….
This is the worst alcohol ever! This is what they drink in hell.
I’m not a BOOSE HOUND! I have liquor bottles stored for years before I get to them. But” I do like a good drink now & then. The only thing I can add to this interesting Blog’ is that I was in one of the Caribbean Islands and wanted to buy a bottle of (151) to try it, because all of the Liquor is Duty Free’ and cost about half price. The Owner of the store said to me, I’m not going to sell you (151) it was too dangerous to drink! It’s only for the local yokels who can handle it, as it’s their cup of tea to get blown away!
i know what im drinking at prom
i know what im drinking at prom:D
I used to drink this every Friday night at a party… then every 4th Friday night… then every 8th Friday night…. then every 16th… I was trying so hard not to overindulge on this for the sake of my health, but it’s so damn good.
We had two ways to mix:
One was called the Everybody Hates You. Moxie + 151.
the other was called a Cow Stunner. Dr Pepper + 151.
The mixture was this:
for the first drink, you have one shot to one can.
for the second drink, two shots to one can
third, three… and so on.
I got to a sixth drink on my 24th birthday… I think I went blind. Great Party…
I haven’t had it in quite some time now… I found something better: Goslings Black Seal 151… it’s actually TASTY!
I still only drink once every few months now to keep myself healthy. I haven’t had a drink since January. Tonight I indulge in some pussy-ass Captain Morgan’s 100. I have a kid now… gotta be a grown up
First off, lemme just say, the only way to drink this and actually enjoy it is in Caribou Lou. 151, Malibu, and pineapple juice. It\’s the only thing I\’ve found that can mask the flavor. That said, for true men out there, you have to take a flaming shot of this once in a while. It\’s actually the way I christen new shot glasses.
Lastly, this is the only liquor I\’ve ever found that consistently gives me a hangover. And not just a little one. This shit makes my head feel swollen, my mouth dry, and adds terrible gut rot into the mix. And I almost never get hangovers, and when I do, they\’re usually just a slight headache.
This rum defeats the great metaphor of life; its the journey, not the destination. This destination comes with a toe-tag.
this stuff is soo brutal, i had soo much mixed in with it, one shot inside a vitamin water, after like half the bottle i was good to go, i chugged, 2 shots i couldnt drink anymore, the entire world spins like helllllll, and the hangover in the morning sucks soo bad for a good few hours
Ok….so me and my best friend are in Atlanta over labor day and the bartender was out of all rum…..except 151. My friend say’s just give him 151. Of course, I was already too done to even notice, I don’t remember anything after the second drink. Not meeting anyone who says they met me, or even leaving the club. Everything had to be told to me the next three days while I was getting over my hangover. UUUUUUggggggghhh…….never again for the 151, but I know what to buy for who I want to get nice in a hurry.
i remember this stuff …. i use to rink this all the time because my friends were scared of it … i remember the night my friend was acting like a total d!C* i decided that the best way to handle this was a drink off in front of my CREW!!! lol….. of coarse i wasnt planing on winning just get him to a point were he would keep drinking to make me look bad ….hahahaha he joke was on him when he woke up the next day with no clothes in the middle of my friends living room with vomit and also finding out that he was dancing and jumping on the hood of his car that was an expensive night for him ……i love 151
I just got back home and i am drunk off 151
This thing written by Wade is the most accurate report of 151 i have ever read- everything he describes is spot on
Dont drin k this if you want to know hat yo
Last time I was blackout was due to 151. Around 8 drinks into the night my friends mixed us both drinks with 3 shots a piece in them. I became conscious again in a bathroom at 2:30 in the morning for a few seconds and then the next thing I remember is my alarm going off at 10:30.
Yeah well we’re a group of kids known as “The 151 Bros” and we drink this shit every weekend. 151 is responsible for making us jump off 50 ft bridges, burn porta-potties, blow up trash cans, several suicide and murder attempts, pissing on peoples faces, and lastly jump into our shanty hole in the middle of the winter!
Anyway, me and a friend decided to go for a bottle of bacardi 151 at a bar. Sadly, we didn’t have enough money on us for a full bottle. ( Students don’t have much income) So we decided to go by shots. I had about 3 shots umixed and my friend had 3 unmixed as well and we both looked at each other and said uh-oh. After the shots we each had a heineken to intensify the effect and when we got up, I thought I was walking on jelly. It felt like I was in space, bouncing out of the bar. I had tunnel vision and the next thing I remember is my friend puking nonstop in the alleyway and me puking in the bathroom for about an hour. Got home at like 1 am, puked some more and feel asleep for like 10 hours. Woke up and it felt like I went through a time machine.

I tend to stay away from 151. I was taught to breathe fire with it. Left it in my mouth for too long when the wind blew out my lighter and had chemical burns on my tongue and the inside of my cheeks for a week.
