This has bugged me for a while now. I like a drop of the black stuff and if I have a few pints of it I can guarantee that my 'hangover sh!te' will be black. What is it? Why does it do it?

its the iron, dude

as andy says its the iron.
the colour isnt as bad a problem as the smell that accompanies it,especially after a skin full .
i got a pint in the abbey road a few years back and it was one of them push button things and god it was awful so i hope you aint drinking that.i soon found o neils and its a top bar with a top pint .

When I was a cellarman I used to clean the pipes of all the other beers and lagers in one morning but had to give the Guiness one a morning of its own. It was an absolute b!tch to clean. The amount of line cleaner I had to use to get them throughly clean was ridiculous.

I've only drank Guinness heavily once.  I don't remember my poo turning black.

If a black man drinks 10 pints of Guinness does his poo come out white?

It's a bit of a myth about the (amount) of iron in guinness.

0.3mg -> 0.5mg of iron per pint.

RDA = 8mg (men) and 18mg (women)

Red wine  has more iron  than stout.

Stout - 0.28mg/pint or 0.12mg/unit
Red wine - 1.58mg/glass (175ml), or 0.75mg/unit

The barley is roasted to give Guinness its dark colour and characteristic taste. It is due to the darkness of the barley when it passes through you

Same thing happens if you drink a couple bottle of red wine

I once and only once went on a session and had a belly full of guinness and then went onto the red wine. when I inevitably spewed my hoop I thought I was dying, it looked just like clotted blood heaving up. I shouted for my missus to ring for an ambulance I thought I was a gonna, she opened the bog door and took one look and said...   fek off ***** up tw@t.
