The Sanatogen Tonic Wine ones are worse!

A friends mum became an alcoholic drinking Sanatogen – not actually realising it was booze

LD for the win,only the (some) Scots will know about it especially Inverclyde lot.

Astonishing. ‘Is your life sh!t? Become an alcoholic – it’s great!’

When I was living there (nearly 40 years ago admittedly) it was indeed El Dorado that was the tipple of choice for the jakie connoisseur. Buckie was seen as being a bit “posh”.

Mad Dog 20/20 when combined with jellies caused much mayhem in my Galloway town, it certainly lived up to its name

I quite like commotion lotion on icecream…

“The Aromatic Water Mix is the perfect non-alcoholic beverage to quench your thirst and refresh your senses. It combines the invigorating scents of ammonia, bleach, and water for a truly unique experience!” 

We once had a cheese and wine party. My brother, classy as always, brought Buckfast and DairyLea Cheese Slices.
