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!

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
