What did you drink.

Anyone else remember these buggers?
You could put it in the fridge for two days and it'd still go off like old faithful when you opened it.

Party 7's, now that has taken me back.

When I first started going out, after a few first times out the way we used to have pints of diesel (snakebite and a dash of blackcurrent if you didn't know)

used to look like this

As the other member said it often came back up looking the same . :sick: :lol:

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I have drunk quite a few of these in my time.

Nuclear Guinness - Guinness with a Pernod depth charge.

 

[Cwrw666]

I started drinking in pubs when I was, ahem, 14.
Back then (late sixties) where i was from if we were lucky they'd have Newcastle Exhibition on - from a keg with a dead like ice cream perched on top. If we were less lucky it was Vaux or Camerons. And even less lucky Sam Smiths. And if it was John Smiths you'd rather walk back out the door and not bother.
Then when I was 18 I moved to Leeds and discovered there was a thing called bitter and another called mild. Also hand pumps. Theakstons Old Peculiar, Tetleys. Haven't looked back since.

Have to put my hand up and say I was a touch younger than Cwrw666 and it was also in the late 60s that I started drinking .... it would depend on where I could get served! My 1st pint was Ushers Best on handpump (my grandfather used to be steward of a club in town!). In my village there were 3 pubs and I could get away in 2 of them. Ushers PA gravity served in 1, the Tiverton brewery's version of Whitbread Trophy again by gravity (each Whitbread brewery would be a slightly different brew in those days) or Taunton Cider on handpump in the other.

Nuclear Guinness - Guinness with a Pernod depth charge.

I bet that was an interesting drink ... I do enjoy pastis but only with water nowadays!

I'm 27, so none of the artefacts mentioned here First drink was Guinness, then mostly Shepherd Neame stuff and cider. My beer epiphany was when I moved to Sheffield and started drinking Thornbridge.

Thunderbird Pear Wine, foul stuff, a part of my misspent youth,

 

[Bevvied]

Anyone ever had this?
I did a few years in the RN before I go hitched. Officially we were allowed three 'tinnies' a day, of course there were ways around the limit!
Hard to describe the taste, lovely though. I seem to recall it was around the five point something mark for ABV, but tasted like nothing I've ever had before or since. Extremely neckable. An AG recipe for this would probably see me busy for the next two or three...years. lol
