I distinctly remember one lazy summer afternoon when the GF at the time* led me astray in the fields. The only thing she brought to drink, however, was a bottle of

No mixers. Nothing.
Still makes me feel ill thinking about it! The drink. Not her.
*No. Not Louise.
Advocaat
Gin with Lemon Hooch as a mixer - blimey, that ended badly
Thunderbird Red Lable - probably responsble for 80% of student vomit in the late 80s 🙁
Occasionally my friends will remind me of the Löwenbräu incident. It is never discussed in front of my parents though.
Had many happy nights sloshed on Sothern Comfort or Malibu!
University bar used to have special nights with bottles of Thunderbird for £1 a bottle.
Surprised I’m still alive, to be honest
Rachel
Blastaway- diamond white cider bottle and castaway bottle (alcoholic Lilt!) poured into a pint glass
Mad Dog, although that's when I was a 'mature' student rather than a youth, cider and pomagne in my younger days 🙂 Oh and jack danials in my mid teens.

Your parents are not on here. You are among friends.
Continue....
Guinness.
I grew up around the birth of alcopops:

I've never been able to stand the smell of bourbon having drunk warming pre-mixed cans of JD and coke.
Cider and blackcurrant. When you throw up it looks like you've burst an ulcer.
Bleuggghhhhh

Tried making some fancy shots at a house party with something I can't remember and Bailey's... I forgot that you are supposed to layer not mix them.
Made about 20 shots of what felt, looked and tasted like curdled vomit. Surprisingly no one wanted one so I and to get rid of them myself

even when drunk it's foul.
Kestrel Lager.
Concorde Wine
Topped off with a can of Quatro.
A mate and I hit my mum's bottle of poitín when we were around 15. It was bloody vile beyond imagination and we were both destroyed by it. 😡
I told her about it a few years later. She nearly wet herself laughing while explaining that she'd never dreamt of drinking it and had only ever used it as a muscle rub. 😆
Oh, and Southern Comfort. What was I thinking?!?
Thunderbird, Barley Wine, Special Brew, cheap cider or cheap whiskey. Good times, can't remember any of them.
Merrydown Cider.
To this day, I can't abide even the smell of cider, never mind the taste.
Newcastle Brown Ale as above. Seemed cool at at the time.
There was Snake Bite - was that lager and cider?
I think the Union Bar also had Atom Bomb, cider as above, + Special Brew..
A girl I used to date (not a Louise but just as crazy) used to drink some strange peach schnapps concoction. Can't remember what it was called.
And Drambuie.
Thunderbird, Malibu and Merrydown cider together, a pint of. I was alright till someone turned the lights out and then I wasn't alright anymore 🙂
It was a good 15 years before the smell of coconut didn't make me wretch.
20/20 bought from the local shop that would serve underage kids...
Hooch, RED (the guarana one, not the WKD one), Smirnoff Ice, snakebite and black, Guinness with shots of Tia Maria, the pint of sherry challenge, the list continues...
It's a wonder I can still see straight.
Anything that was going. 😳
Blastaway - a Castaway with a K (9%?) cider.
Cheap white wine, warm, as a pre-drinking drink. If it was too vile, topped up with Robinsons Orange.
WKD
Smirnoff Mule - my teeth feel fuzzy just thinking about it and the amount of sugar in it.
And, one memorable afternoon sat outside, Archers and lemonade. But we ran out of lemonade. And that's why I can never drink peach schnapps again...
Red wine with fish, how we laugh about it now.

Archers and lemonade? I remember there being a craze for that..

Edit- as above 😀
MD 20/20 & Thunderbird - both tried once and never again.
Same for snakebite & black, and its more dangerous cousin the red witch.
Newcastle Brown was the dreadful stuff that I kept on drinking, until I found out about real ale.
Some proper chuckles above!
Oh yes...

3 litre bottles of strong cider normally, sometimes punctuated with a bottle of QC sherry which no one liked, but the the stregnth vs ammount vs cost ratio was good.
Just the smell of cheap cider now makes me gag - permenant psycological damage hahah!
Whatever happened to Magner's cider? Have people realised at last what utterly awful garbage that was?
I remember lacing cheap cider with cheap vodka, in retrospect it wasn't a great plan.
My 15th birthday I was at a girl's house - me, my mate and two of them
I sank about a third of a bottle of vodka using orange & pineapple squash as a mixer and then, feeling very clever, necked half a pint of martini (the, err, deep red stuff)
Obvz I did no shagging but quite a lot of bright red vomiting all round the house before I was chucked out
Never did properly apologise - ****!
I still can't be near orange & pineapple squash without gagging
Carlsberg Green.
I had a girlfriend that drank brandy and babycham. Not the cheapest round, but the VFM was huge 8)

Not a clue what was in it but pints of terminators from the skiving scholar at uni. Bad times!
Also, much earlier in my youth two dogs, hooch, 20/20, Concorde and when you're seriously low on self respect, frosty jacks.
Snakebosh
Tennents Super, Diamond White Cider with port on top for the colour.
Sorted.
Forgot about TNT and Concorde. Those drinks were clearly marketed at the under age drinker
pernod. Stole it once it from my dad's drinks cabinet.
The old man and I had a Chinese together one night, he went to bed I drank some pernod (as you do), felt ill and puked in the kitchen sink. Next morning I went in the kitchen and dad was picking noodles out of the plughole asking me why I had scraped my plate direct in the sink.
Used to buy a bottle of cheap whisky from the video shop (yes that's right, the video shop) Black Bottle I think and a single can of coke.
Open the coke and take a swig, top up can with whisky, swig, top up and repeat, by the time you got to taste the vile whisky you were blootered anyways so it didn't matter and then you just switched to drinking it straight from the bottle.
Just looked up black bottle, seems it got a relaunch a few years ago and is a bit more respectable that the shite it was in my teens.
Tommys Special - Snake bite and black with a double vodka. Ideally Stella and scrumpy. It was the catch up drink if you were late on a night out 😈

This sounds absolutely lethal.

Blastaway - a Castaway with a K (9%?) cider
Those were the days...
