bottoms up!

When I entered a bar for the first time on my 21st birthday, I was greeted with a shot of tequila and Tabasco sauce.

It took me four days to recover.

Luckily, there's lots of variations on that infamous recipe in this list spanning the 17 worst shots ever created. The names alone are entertaining, and the potential taste sensations are enough to make you want to vomit right now.

Among the most memorable? Smoker's Cough, which combines -- brace yourself -- Jagermeister and warm mayonnaise.

One, two, three...drink!
