Teenage tipple

[bigbadwolf]

Right, we've had the worst hangover thread but now I think it's time we discussed what we'd force down our throats to get us pissed. I'll also be interested what wierd concoctions the colonials and johnny foreigners used to or still do put away.

I'd drink:

All the cheap cider that gave parents nightmares (white lightning, Woodpecker, Diamond white)

MD 20/20.

Martini.

Beer (If we were lucky)

Anything I could nick off my parents.

Over to you.

P.s If you want to take part in this thread DM we want the truth.

[sanity girl]

when I was 15 a geordie friend introduced me to rum and black - gross!

[????]

Cider and barley wine or Dubonnet if I was being sophisticated

[jumpinjackflash]

Peach Canei (sp?)

[dukesdenver]

Make mine a Southern Comfort & lemonade.

[mockney piers]

"Southern Comfort & lemonade" that's my puke drink, the one I can't touch.

Good choice looking back, I know people for whom it's red wine, what a tragedy.

On the whole Harp, cheap cider, martini rosso (classy), lambrusco (back when screw caps were still a bad thing on wine), thunderbird *gags a bit*, oh lets face it, anything I could get hold of.

Luckily a few months before I was 16 a few pubs opened their doors to us and we could join the world of Greene King ales and bad lager.

Skol/Cherry Brandy/ Happy Shopper Cider/Mad Dog

Been told Buckfast is a favourite north of Manchester...

[GSJ57]

Dry Martini and Lemonade * gags just thinking about it*... then moved onto vodka and bitter lemon * gags again*.

[RosieH]

ooh, blue bols and lemonade, and for more sophisticated evenings, taboo and lemonade

[*Bob*]

Thunderbird ("Chunderbird")

Made from Pears.. not that that stopped anyone.

[carolyn]

Amaretto Sours (shudder) and Tequila Sunrises (double shudder)

[Marmora Man]

Proper job Somerset Scrumpy 1s 3d a pint when on a scout camp aged 15. Drunk for half a crown, dead drunk for 3s 9p. Served in "stone jar" so you couldn't see the bits floating in it.

[Cassius]

Snakebite & blackcurrent

Barley Wine & blackcurrent

Buckfast Tonic Wine - might be popular up north but was our 'local' tipple

Scrumpy

Mixtures of two or more of the above.

[Mikecg]

Chunderbird wine

Strongbow Cider

Mataxa Brandy

[Huguenot]

Martini Rosso, sitting behind the jumps on Worcester racecourse. Bad bad bad.

[Xena Worried prince]

Like *bob* I remember Thunderbirds (fortified wine)

Unlike *bob* I mixed it with Scrumpy from the Phoenix and Firkin one night and discovered the joys of projectile vomiting (more then 10 foot at a time)

Interesting and I would recommend it to those who need to loose weight rapidly !!!

[Keef]

First thing I ever really got drunk on was a 2 lt bottle of strongbow, and 4 cans of super T (class). Then it was snakebites for a while (sometimes with black).

First pints I ever drank regularly (from about 16) was Guinness, which is all I drank til I was about 22.

Always went for JD, and if I'm honest, it's probably because Slash and all my other rock idols drank it. Much like the fact I smoked Marlboro Reds because Ozzy did.

[bigbadwolf]

How could I forget! I was introduced to Potcheen whilst on a Cadets trip in the lake district. Tasted disgusting!!!

[PeckhamRose]

I once found my Nan's Warninks Advocaat. Drank the lot when she went out to bingo.

House!

[dulwichmum]

I enjoyed the ocasional warm chocolate milk or glass of cold tonic water...

[????]

Lies DM, Lies. Bolly with your dolly, we know

[2degreesfrommadness]

My first alcohol induced vomit was due to a banana liquer one New Year, the thought makes me gag 30 yrs later ... yuck!

I once took on a bet to drink down in one the contents of my glass in a greek taverna if they could make my ouzo go clear; they did with an equal measure of neat gin .... that destroyed the power of speech and caused major hurt the next day!

[ratty]

thunderbird. Old english cider. Horndean Special Brew. Gin and bitter lemon. Vodka and line. Not all together though.

[dazeykat]

Snakebite & blackcurrant - was it called a red witch? Rum & black too. Thinking about them makes me blench.

[JetSetWilly]

10 bottle of bucky, 6 tins of harp and round the park. happy days.
