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.

"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.

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 !!!

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.

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!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
