Buckfast

[Evastar]

My friend Micky is scottish and he's always on about buckfast.

So i bought a bottle in the supermarket today to give it a try, and then i started wondering, does everyone drink it the same way?

Is it better chilled or room temperature? Would it be sacrilege to put 7 up and ice cubes into it? lol

 

[Ratts]

i got to drink it chilled and adding a little lemonade will take the edge of it lol,

its got a high caffine content to,

i can drink but i cant get through much of this stuff tho,dont know why lol

at the end of the day try it with different mixers to find out whats best for you eva roud:

 

[Evastar]

Thanks ratts, it's in the fridge

I texted micky to tell him i bought it, for some reason he thinks it's very funny and i'll be totally pissed later.

Whats so special about this stuff compared to a normal bottle of wine?

You'll be fighting with a lamp post later on, and you'll be unable to make up your mind, do you want to go to bed or go to the disco lol..

Pour it down the sink if you value your sanity.

 

[Evastar]

lol it's only 14.8%, some bottles of wine are 14% these days, i definitely have to give it a go, see what all the fuss is about

 

[Ratts]

a normal bottle of wine hasent got the caffeine in it,

i think its like drinking 10 cans of coke lol,

havent you ever had redbull and vodka :happysmile:

 

[Evastar]

Ah i see, yeah i have tried red bull and vodka before lol

What i find really interesting is that it's made in England, i thought it was Scottish! Says Devon, England on the bottle

"Buckfast is alleged to be the drink of choice for drinkers who are prone to committing anti-social behaviour when drunk, especially drinkers under 18 years. Its high strength (15% ABV/14.8% in the Republic of Ireland), relatively low price and sweetness are characteristics that are thought to appeal to underage drinkers.[4] The drink also has a very high caffeine content, with each 750ml bottle containing the equivalent of eight cans of cola.[5]
Many politicians and social activists single out Buckfast Tonic Wine as being particularly responsible for crime, disorder, and general social deprivation in these communities. Buckfast accounts for 0.5% of alcohol sales in Scotland, although the figure is markedly higher in Lanarkshire.[6][7] Helen Liddell, former Secretary of State for Scotland, even called for the wine to be banned. The then Scottish Justice Minister, Cathy Jamieson MSP, suggested that retailers should stop selling Buckfast. On a subsequent visit to Auchinleck, a town within her constituency, she faced an impromptu demonstration by teenagers chanting "Don't ban Buckie"."

Thanks nara and nao

I'm not planning on going out and i'm definitely not under 18, so i think i'll be able to to manage a little experiment with it. There isn't even a shoutbox for me to get into a row in anyway lol

Apologies in advance then if i go a bit mental later

@v, it has a similar effect to the pear kopparberg then does it? lol

 

[Kruger]

Do what nara says and pour it down the pan and flush the vile stuff away.

it so popular in north lanarkshire / coatbridge as it was the only place in UK where their giro's could be paid in bukky.


orrible stuff.

taste it and see.

 

[Evastar]

lol i'll give my opinion on it later. Not flushing it the bottle was a tenner

do yourself a favour and take it back to the shops and see if they will swap it for something else.

either that pour it down the sink it will clear your drains. or down the lav and save yourself the hassle of spewing it up l8ruke:

made by monks turns people into spawn of the devil.:Yikes:

but if you insist in drinking it try.

Thanks for the cocktail list Rab, but after all the comments i dont think i better go mixing it with vodka or whiskey or anything else alcoholic, i'll stick to bucky and 7up

Maybe i'll just drink half the bottle

Heres an article that tells you all you need to know about buckfast ... lol

How the monks created drunks.

The Abbey habit: how monks created drunks - Times Online

with Rab on the ground clutching his belly, the YAP is still singing. They haul the drunken Rab to his feet to present him to The Times. “C’mon,” they tell him. “Get your name in the paper.” His eyes roll and he wanders around bumping into lamp-posts. “He’s like this all the time,” says Bain. “He’s mad with the drink.”

HOW MUCH!!!!:FRIGHT:

its about £6 a bottle here!

its great stuff chilled to street temperature of course, i love it. i just prefer other stuff now. i know lads who have drank it for years and never been any worse than on vodka or cider. i used to buy 10 regal king size, 2 cans of tennents lager and a bottle out the fridge and got change from a tenner. i would drink the first can, then half of the bottle, then pour the other can into the remains and proceed to drink that. magic!
