What drinks do you remember that you don’t really hear much of or see it a lot anywhere?
For me it was Mad dog 2020, Bacardi breezers, reef, Metz, diamond white and The original hooch. Which was a lot stronger than it is now.
I sound like a puss head lol |

I can personally confirm that MD2020 is still kicking about, I’ve had a few nights drinking that where I can’t remember parts of the night. |

"Snakebite. (I think it’s banned now!)
Wasn't two years ago when I took an extra job in a bar. You couldn't serve more than a double though. No more quad vods  . "
I think it was something else in my day lol. I though it was a pint. Half lager, half cider and black currant. I could be wrong though! |

My grandad used to order something called half and half when I was a kid. Apparently half bitter, half mild (pale ale I'm guessing?) |

We used to go round different pubs asking for pint of lager please but we would say it really quick and when they came back with a pint we would say no I said light and lager and 9 times out of 10 they would come back with a bottle of light to go with the full pint  |

Did anyone else have port and wicked?
Proper tastes like vimto, I preferred the blue wkd to the iron bru one though. But they both tasted like vimto if you mixed a few bottles in a pint glass with a shot of port in it. |

You reminded me about Smirnoff Ice
It still gives me a headache even though I’m more practised at drinking it lol "
We basically don't drink anymore - maybe the office Christmas party and a sangria or two if we go on hols. Otherwise we are teetotallers
We were NOT teetotal as youths |

20/20
White Lightning
Hooch, our local off licence didn't know it was alcoholic, so being teenagers, we bought it all.
Boddingtons, and Caffreys.
Not sure what possessed me to drink all that. I'll put it down to youth. |

Lambrini! Always thought that was wine. Actually it's perry. I used to drink it with apple juice I think when I was like 17ish but only at my mum's.
WKD and other cheap alcohol pops. Used to absolutely love Woodpecker cider. Then at a pub I used to frequent I had Pepsi with Cherry Sourz, like boozy cherry cola and I used to like vodka slushies too.
Definitely used to drink far more than I do now. |

I was at a girls party it was nov 1980 the party did,nt go to plan so the guys got a bit reckless with the drink unfortuneately at 22 I was easily taken in with half a tumbler of vodka I,d had 3 large can s of skol previous and food on top the night was ruined from there on for me more happened but we won,t go there.. only to say since then I,ve been careful with booze and do most of mine behind closed doors If I have a stiff drink or two especially so this christmas cheaper this way too. |

"Anyone remember Bezique?
It was made by Bacardi but no longer in production.
I thought that was a card game? "
Yes I just googled it and saw that lol. I thought the drink was awesome but it stopped production in the early 90's |

"Marstons pedigree
bass
worthingtons
carling black label
skol
I had these in my late teens no doubt others too.There was one called black velvet thou I,ve never had it.. cider and guinness mixed"
I used to drink black velvet (actually a poor man's black velvet, proper black velvet is Guinness and champagne).
I'd start off with dry cider, then switch to sweet cider.
Cider and cherry b was nice.
Ever had a Guinness shandy...? |

When I was teen it was John Smiths and Strongbow (a pub punter from a young and very illegal age). Or a snakebite (bar staff consenting, not bothered enough to buy two halfs). Thank goodness there is such a better selection of ale and cider these days. |
