I was last in the Old Man & Scythe[1] about 15 years ago. It was one of those weird and wonderful cider places. I had a couple and became slowly aware that i couldn't actually use my legs anymore.
Pretty sure at least one other person in the pub had pissed themselves. The two are probably related, and to anyone who has drank around the Bradshawgate in Bolton, this is by no means a reason to disregard a pub.
I eventually regained use of my legs and carefully stumbled home.

- arethuza 4y agoI think I've had similar cider - last time I touched the stuff was 1983. The only other stuff on my "never drink again" list being Norwegian aquavit - funnily enough something I learned to avoid a couple of years later. University life may have been involved.
