    In that case, it's about 4 miles of vodka/whiskey/gin.


  • Registered Users Posts: 653 ✭✭✭girl in the striped socks


    Sure I didn't know what a naggin was until I was 14 & going to the underage disco.
    It cost about 5 punts back then. That's when money was money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Tails142


    It's the small glass bottle, 200ml as someone said, might be considered a 'single serving' if you weren't binge drinking.

    Fits in a handbag so it makes it easy to sneak into a night club.

    Next size up is a shoulder.

    4 American shots, 8 English shots, and about 5.5 Irish shots.
    It's purpose is to get someone half-tipsy.
    A 'shoulder' (400mls) gets you full tipsy, any more and you're drunk.
    That's the long and short of it.

    Nope, a "shot" is made up of 5 naggins. Each shot must be downed. Personally, I'm ****ed after 4, you should give it a try yourself.

    Takes me a few minutes to remember which one is the flaggin and which one is the naggin.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭IrishAm


    After a few beers, its a blackout in a glass bottle.


  • Registered Users Posts: 718 ✭✭✭stmol32


    It's called a naggin because your boss nags you when you drink from it when your driving your ambulance at nine in the morning.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭IrishAm

    It was five euro when I was 14, but that was for Grants Vodka. Shit was putrid. We used to neck that back in one, then swally a Red Bull straight after.

    A naggin of Smirnoff was only purchased after the granny had visited.

    Good times.

    a naggin is a woman that never stops complaining ... your mom perhaps?

    Cheap shot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    Ah, a naggin mixed into your bottle of coke, which you downed on the bus on the way to wherever you were going.
    I miss being 8.

    I still drink naggins, actually onto flaggins these days and in my 20s. Money is too tight to buy all my drinks when i'm out always have a great night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,128 ✭✭✭✭aaronjumper


    I'm always confusing naggins and shoulders. It's why I generally won't go to the offy for people that want spirits, 90% of the time I'm wrong.

    Just get a normal sized bottle ffs! Or start drinking from bottles or cans.

    I was a teenager once. Only I drank beer back then too. Never really needed to know what it was until I started being friends with guys and gals that liked spirits.

    Naggins- Every Irish teenagers starting point towards fully fledged alcoholism

    When we were 14, we used to go out on friday at 6 oclock, drink a naggin in about 10 mins, and be home by half 10. They were the fucking days!
