Blastaway- diamond white cider bottle and castaway bottle (alcoholic Lilt!) poured into a pint glass
We took that up a level. Before a night out clubbing at the height of acid house stupidity, it was the law that first drink of the evening had to be a 'Fastaway'. Basically one of those with a gram of speed mixed in. Christ, we were idiots!
Another 'first drink of the evening' favourite involved Flashy's original post - a Green Nasty - Pint glass, bottle of K cider, bottle of Lowenbrau Pils, 2 shots of Blue Bols, 1 Shot of Vodka. Turns your pint bright green. Hence the name
Cheers!
only cr@p concoction I drank relatively regularly was in my late teens. To get us through a night at the picture house we'd drink: a bottle of VK (alcopop type thing in silver bottle) a double vodka, red Bull and a splash of Smirnoff ice all in a pint glass. They weren't cheap!
I gather turbo-shandies are a given?
Theres a club in Darwen where they have a bar that just dispenses Cheeky Vimto's in pint glasses with a curly straw

Very much this, got so drunk off it, even seeing the logo makes me gip.
Snakebite and black. Known locally as diesel.
Red or blue Thunderbird. When it was ice cold it wasn't completely vile.
I can't drink Jack Daniels, Southern Comfort, any brandy, any whisky, or whiskey. Drank to excess and now cant touch it.
I used to knock around with some members of our ladies' rugby team at sixth form, a truly magnificent bunch of people of all abilities.
The team drink was a "Green Bastard", which looked as though you were drinking neat Fairy Liquid.
Take one measure of blue curacao, one measure of vodka and mix with a pint of lager.
Et viola, multi-coloured sick and a green hangover poo the next morning.
Reef, basically orange juice with Vodka in. 66p a drink on a Sunday night, so hammered on a fiver. Good times.
There seems to be a theme emerging around bourbon. I'm the same. After a teenage near-death-experience on it, the merest whiff of it has me gipping

Hey nonny nonny...
Snakebite and black was known as purple nasty - that was a later discovery for me. My local pubs usually served Tartan Special or Tennants Lager, its just as well there was limited access to stronger beers. When one pub started serving tennants special lager, I developed a bad habit. That and Lambs and Coke.
edit - whisky was always taken after eight pints or so....
There was a beer on tap at my local called 'navigation'. It was cheap, tasted like special brew on steroids and was the tipple of choice for all of the underage drinkers.
Found out many years later that the landlord 'mixed' it himself from the slops and added whatever cheap spirits he had to hand.
It was dynamite.
Gold label finished off with a bottle of ouzo......
Hey nonny nonny...
"...I've just sharted my trollies"?
Reef, basically orange juice with Vodka in. 66p a drink on a Sunday night, so hammered on a fiver. Good times.
I was just about to post how could I forget about reef!
Ultimate strawpedo drink.
my mates dad's elderberry wine was pretty grim 😯 used to give you hallucinations 🙂
Pints of turbo shandy - Stella and Smirnoff Ice. But you had to buy a pint of Stella and drink it until you could top up with the Smirnoff Ice.
Multiple Aftershokz mixed together...
Cheeky Vimto - blue WKD with a double port thrown in for good measure.
Torpedos - bottled beer of choice with a straw to the bottom to let the air in that was folded back down the outside of the bottle and then drink as quick as you can...
And my Mate Guy's legendary bucket....whenever there was a weekend planned, there would be his bucket and ladle and we'd make a cocktail...can't remember the exact recipe, but it was along the lines of a bottle of vodka, bottle of peach schnapps, 4 Bacardi breezers, cherryade and orange juice....
These days it's 2 ales and an early night!
Mostly the stuff that's been mentioned for my yoof, with a few extras.
20/20
Hooch
Two Dogs
Holsten Pils
Smirnoff Ice
Malibu and coke
Archers and lemonade
Pernot and lemonade
Ouzo (dangerous stuff)
Port (dads when I was skint and needed a pre club taster)
and the one that had me in trouble on holiday.
Red Aftershock - drank so many Spanish holiday resort measures that I could taste it for weeks (despite parting company with most of it the same day)
Archers and Taboo, mixed.
Neat room temperature vodka.
Carlsberg export.
Aftershock- vomtastic.
4 pack of:

Ripoff of Diamond White. Even less classy than White Lightning.
I still feel sick at the slightest whiff of Southern Comfort also.
Special Brew
Thunderbird
Polly of Wales - vodka, gin, blue curaco, snakebite and a dash of Orange Juice. Looked like A pint of fairy liquid.
Judging by the state of a bloke in the pub the other night the new death "drink" is gas chambers.
Alcohol didn't touch my lips until I was 21, then when I moved to the UK my new mates took me here, for this.. it ended very badly.
Cider at the Cider House, Quatt Shropshire..

Had a truly dreadful experience at 16 (pre drinking expertise)!with a bottle of red Thunderbird, some tequila slammers and a bong. Resulted in me spewing everywhere and having to be carried home by two people with sick comment my out of my nose and all down my front. Ohhh my god I'm lucky I survived that one
Much better experience later on drinking BMW turbo's (baileys, Malibu, whiskey and tequila). A complex flavour a bit similar to an alcoholic Bounty Bar

From the local "mosher" bar - eclectic jukebox and a strong odor of patchouli oil
I see it still sells in Morrisons, and as tempted as I am to try it, I'd rather keep it on the ivory pedestal of fine beverages and not reminiscing of throwing up down the side of a taxi
Snakebite and Black. Kiwi flavored 20/20. Metz. Moscow Mule. Brownie Bomber (snakebite and black depth charged with Taboo and Malibu).
The list is probably longer, but I'm afraid I can't remember most of it..........
As a student I did a night on "snake bite" made with barley wine and old Rosie scrumpy, it was a surprisingly long night. I think i gave up about two rounds after someone (probably one of the members of the group who wasn't playing) suggested that Mexicans drank tequila after being bitten by snakes to help neutralise the poison. This was obviously bs but meant subsequent pints were followed by a large shot of jose cuevro.
I went for a "tactical chunder" that turned into a tactical withdrawal.
Brew Dog 😉

Christ these names give me flashbacks!
TNT, merrydown and diamond blush... it's taken me 20 years to drink cider again!
One night the girls had a bottle of archers, the boys had a bottle of southern comfort so the inevitable happened... my mate Andrew was so sick he actually splashed the ceiling!
Bloody awful whisky, knock off white rum, basically anything that could get you smashed cheaply. I miss it (youth) I don't miss it (the disgustingness)
So many.....
Green Chartreuse, until Eamon put his hand through a window.
Woods 100 rum enjoyed a brief vogue, but a staple was Inch's Stonehouse Cider,as endorsed back then on the label by David Gower.

2 litres for £2.99, lovely.
Oh and poteen, from various friends, usually brought back in a couple of 2 ltr lemonade bottles on the back shelf of the car.
🙂
First carry out was at 15, the night Scotland beat Sweden in the 90 World Cup, a bottle of merrydown (ola Perchypanther!) a quarter bottle of Smirnoff and 4 triludan hay fever tabs. Hey, they were tabs, must be good eh?
Never been as sick in my life.

Snake bite and black
Tennents Extra + Strongbow + black current.
Many a mad night down at the Abergavenny Hotel, which at the time had the only nightclub in the town in the basement/cellar.
South Wales town where everyone knew everyone it was like the OK Corral on a Friday/Saturday night!
As a 16 year old Manc lad 2 week after taking my GCSE's it was quiet an education!
We used to drink Helden Brau Super Strength at the local park. Christ it was rough but 4 cans and you could barely walk. The breeze block surround for the septic tank behind the village hall was known as the heldy bin. After the Heldy on the park it was a trip to The Grapes, Stags or Bushells or carry outs from the local Thresher depending who was working that night as we all worked there!
Here's a review from ratebeer.com
UPDATED: MAY 18, 2012 Can from Arden Wines- now brewed at 7.4% and distributed by InBev UK. Looks like I’m the first rater to have stumbled on this filth for EIGHT years. Jesus, I’m desperate tonight. Gold with a fat white head falling to a slick. Aroma of rotting apples, grass cuttings, a sprinkle of acetone. Tastes EXACTLY like flying saucers, apple Chewits and sherbet-sprinkled paper. Which is a relief. Tempted to drink, but won’t be doing so.
15 pints of purple nasty, never again
Special red, heldenbrau super, 2.50 a bottle sherry, Bucky, gees linctus, vodka and night nurse, special brew, a range of white ciders and enigma
a bottle of merrydown (ola Perchypanther!)
Clearly, we were both far too classy to drink Buckfast.

The contents of these bottles. As finances improved they were replaced with Cambras then Médoc and now cru bourgeois Médoc, though we buy a Cahors now and then when we are feeling nostalgic.

Perhaps the best beer review ever!
Aaaaaah....... white and frightening
Baileys and tomato juice!
I used to be able to open my throat and just pour stuff into my stomach. This coupled with a sense of adventure and long boarding school weekends led to some dark dark times.
Pouring a litre of warm cinzano into myself whilst staying on a steeply sloped campsite was a low point. Very lucky not to have ended up in the sea.
*thinking back. It was a Louise that saved me that night,

In most pubs in my home town your choice of draught ale was this or Tetleys. Things have changed thankfully!
I tried thunderbird for the first and last time during my first year of uni.
Managed to fall asleep without the spinning room of doom feeling. Woke up, went for a pee in the toilet cubicle down the hall (no en-suites in our halls of residence), sat down, promptly vomited everywhere. Cleaned myself up in the shower and staggered back to bed. Cowered in my room the next morning when I heard the cleaners arrive.
We once had a night round all the pubs in York that served this:

No idea why. Horrible stuff; tastes like treacle. The only way to avoid prolonging the agony was to neck it. I vaguely remember things getting a bit messy...
Most local pubs when I was a teenager served Watneys Red Barrel which was really shit , although as a 16 year old I knew no better . Then there was Starlight which was so weak and gassy it was impossible to drink enough to get pissed or you would have exploded .if you were going to a party you could get either a party 4 or a party 7 which were large cans containing either 4 or 7 pints of the same crap .
All the usual suspects already mentioned - Thunderbird (thanks to the influence of the Dogs d'Amour), 20/20, various cheap strong lagers, etc.
Went through a neat vodka phase. Never ended well, those nights (especially when I discovered Smirnoff blue).
Worst thing I imbibed in my youth was shampoo. In my defence it was force fed to me while I was heavily under the influence already. Not sure the mate whose house we were in has ever forgiven me for the resulting blue, frothy projectile vomit that covered his parents' lounge...
