Alcoholic drinks from yester year

Myself and a colleague were discussing alcoholic drinks we used to drink when we were young i.e. teenagers! I mentioned Thunderbird and she had never heard of it. But she had heard of 20/20 which from what l remember wasn't that different. I was wondering what alcoholic drinks people used to drink...

But she had heard of 20/20 which from what l remember wasn't that different. I was wondering what alcoholic drinks people used to drink when they were young? I seem to remember the usual suspects being popular with my friends -Hooch, White Lightening etc. I do remember one friend liking Cinzano, god knows why because it was absolutely grim!

    Dooley's. Vile toffee flavoured stuff.

    Woody's pink grapefruit.

    We also used to infuse gummi bears with vodka.

    Absinthe

    We used to use Reef for strawpedo races at uni. ?

    I loved Bacardi Breezers for a while until someone spiked one of mine with all sorts of crap (not drugs, just vodka, pepper, salt...) and I got really sick.

    At uni I think our crowning achievement was creating a special "turbo Pimms" using Smirnoff Ice. That and the 99c sparkling wine we brought back from the ski trip. It tasted like an old people's home.

    I have never heard of any of these but they all sound disgusting.

    I used to drink Barley Wine.

    Yes Ali, these were amazing. But did not taste of alcohol so were consumed far too fast!!
    I remember driving alllll over town with a friend in hunt for these whilst at uni. We stocked up big time when we found them. Vanilla and strawberry were my favourite!

    My favourite rock club lost their license for draught beer so only stocked bottles of Carlsberg, which was dreadful as the fridge was broken too! The only drinkable thing was this stuff, which I usually enjoyed with an extra shot of vodka (80p on Thursdays!) mixed in ?

    A girl who was on my course at university last time had a claim to fame that she could drink 15 Smirnoff Ice's in a row! If l did that l am sure all of my teeth would fall out in one go.

    Ha, I love the fact you can still buy pretty much all these drinks! I was a cherry lambrini girl through and through, but I'd drink MD20-20 or frosty jacks if "it was there".

    But I'd mostly drink JD and diet coke to prove how cool I was...
