Buckfast.

[charlie senator]

I remember my mum drinking the odd glass of this stuff .She used to say it was good for her and i believed her because it said something like "tonic" on the bottle so i never bothered trying it myself. Didn't need any tonic in those days !!

lol, Charlie, my mum is 100% T-Total, she's never drank booze in her life.

But...

She always used to have a bottle of Buckfast 'Tonic Wine' in the medicine cupboard, it lay there for years stale as could be until me and my older brother cracked it open and slowly drank it over a period of days

They still called it Buckfast Tonic Wine, but they have a disclaimer stating that the word 'Tonic' does not imply health giving or medicinal properties.

OK, both bottles are long gone and I've now had 4 cans of lager and I'm trying my best to type correctly (I've re-read this post about 6 times to make sure no mistake are present, lol).

Where's my old buddy CraigyBhoy33 (Craigend33), he's always up for good scrap, lol, headcase that he is, lool.

Great thread this. Haven't laughed so much in ages

Although I've also been down the Buckfast or Thunderbird route, my favorite tipple as a youngster was Merrydown Cider. Oh the day's.....pmsl.

Been years since i touched the stuff i actually like the stuff but wouldn't go into buy now people would think im a jackie. I had to have mine cold out the fridge but my mate was weird he use to stick his bottle beside the radiator he liked his warm. And a guy a new massive guy he was could drink about 6 bottles and he could down a bottle in seconds

Merrydown Gold for me the Silver stuff is too sour

I used to make snakebites with Merrydown and Lager, tasted terrible but got me blitzed

@ Scott-ayling

My mate pours it into a glass and lets it heat up next to a fire - bizarre.

Any time I've bought Buckfast I try to do it in a shop that I don't normally use

My fave teenage drink was 20/20 used to love trying all the different flavours.

"In recent times, Buckfast has achieved a surprising level of popularity within working class and bohemianwtf communities in certain parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland."
