Bottle of White Lightning anyone?

that’ll be £10 please sir

If the price of the cheap strong stuff is going up, will alckies have to be become more discerning? Maybe trading up from their white cider to maybe a nice Argentine Malbec?

No way, that was a student staple, 3 litres for £3 got two of you ready for a night oot.

So is alcoholism the preserve of the rich? Seems unfair.

Will this push more people towards other substances like smack?

No just the more dignified:)

Let them drink lube?

Good point. E’s have been cheaper than a pint for years now

My father in law will be gutted.

It will be cheaper (and probably better) for him to drink diesel rather than his usual trampaign.

Won’t someone please think of the old guys who just like a quiet drink in front of the telly?

wwaswas – never mix your drinks!

😆

This is what the discerning alkies are downing these days..

white lightening, yuck even the chavs don’t drink that shit.

This all assumes that people get their alcohol from a supermarket, rather than Dave at his lock up, like the rest of us do!!

Good grief 😯 That Frosty Jack lookes like something you would use to clean the splattered bugs off the front of your car with.

Harry, don’t tell everyone, or the garage forecourts will be overrun by the more discerning alcoholics…

I shuddered. We used to drink White Lightning alot at Uni. Drink about out of the bottle and pour in some blackcurrent cordial then go out.

There goes the £9.99 a bottle whiskey special offers that are often on at supermarkets and offies around the country 🙁

Cheap supermarket whisky at £16.10

eh? £16 cheap?

special red was the tipple of choice when we hung around on the park as kids adolescents, WL aka mange was scorned for being too cheap and too nasty

I used to work in a bar in Perth where the pre-football sharpener on a Saturday lunchtime was snakebite and blackcurrant.

1 x bottle Special Brew
1 x bottle White Lightening
1 x splash blackcurrant

One fat idiot with diabetes used to drink them with CC and soda chasers. That was 22yrs ago, reckon he’s dead?

good old white lightning.

I still have nightmares about the hangover I suffered after my mate and I decided it would be a good idea to make some snakebite with white lightning and kestrel super strength. it literally burnt a hole right through me.

it also reminds me of good times at uni. i vaguely recall they did a 50% extra free ‘millenium party pack’ to celebrate y2k. 3 litres of white lightning does not make a party!

I don’t care if my bottle of Vodka does cost £22 now, I’m still going to party like it’s £19.99

igmc.

WAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!! 😆

Are you, by any chance, here all week?

That frosty Jack loooks like the perfect solution to that oil patch on my driveway.

LOLing at wwaswas

Post of the week? Gets my vote 😀

Frosty Jack has never seen an apple in its life.. I’d be surprised if it had even been in a factory that had apples in it at the same time!
Horrible, horrible stuff. Even worse when it comes back out.

😳 You know when you steal a joke off twitter and don’t mention the fact when you post it somewhere else and then everyone then seems to think it was original to you? Well, that. 😳

I’ve decided to ‘fess up.

wwaswas – glad I wasn’t drinking coffee (or Kestrel Super) when I read that. I’ll try the veal if you’re here all week!

Easy lube? “Nonsense, this is a far superior drink to meths! The w+*@^%$£ don’t drink it because they can’t afford it!”

We tried this with Special Brew instead, it seemed fun at the time, but you’re right – one hell of a hangover.

Did Heineken not kill of White Lightening last year after they aquired whoever it is that makes it and decided they didn’t like it’s image?

Wwaswas – awesome

We used to drink diamond white and castaways mixed together in a pint glass ‘Blastways’ at college aaaaaaaaah the good old days…. now where’s my cirrhosis tablets…..?

We did it with frosty jacks and super tennants. Never, ever, ever again.

Supercider like White Lightning always turned me completely psycho…

yuck even the chavs don’t drink that shit.

My ex flat mate did. 😯 I moved out pronto!

Weaklings, forget the blacks add port instead, Snakebite, SnakeBosh!

The trouble is that its going to affect one of the few growth areas of the British economy, the small brewery.

The UK has seen an explosion in these over the past few years & many of there products range in strength from your standard 4/5% up to Imperial Stouts which can be over 10%!

They come in 330ml bottles and currently are more expensive but only a circa £2 more than say a 3.5% Pale Ale in a 500ml bottle. The Pale Ale could be drunk all night where as its unusual for someone to drink more than 1 Impy Stout in an evening but the cost will be about double.

So, is it really the strength of the product rather than the amount of the product that is the problem?
