Bought some by mistake, just grabbed four cans quickly from the offy (thought it was normal lager) and it turned out to be this stuff, pure evil in a can, very very nasty but I developed quite a taste for it and by the fourth I was ready for my bobies.

What the hell is it for, why is it available without prescription ?

What have I done, I quite fancy getting some more HELPPPPPPP

I will be waking up in bus shelters covered in p1ss and vomit, playing a harmonica (badly) and shouting unintelligible profanities at passers by if they dont give me ten pee for a cup of tea.

Ahh, tramps of Scoobynet unite!!

Don't drink much else myself - occasional foray to Carlsberg Special Brew, but Tennent's Super is the daddy. <waves empty can sitting next to me at screen>.

Not done me any long term damage that i can tell. Others might disagree! Only donwside is you can't keep drinking and drinking on the nights you're in the mood for a decent session, otherwise you soon lose track of all five senses, usually all at once!!

I lost any kind of recognisable speech halfway through the second can, it doesent taste that bad (Considering) if its very cold and drinking normal lager after it is like drinking tap water. I fancy some more but I would be a bit embarrased as the lady in the offy usually advises me on wine matters, not which alcy gear I should be buying, I will wrap it up in a copy of Razzle or sheep botheres monthly so nobody sees it.

I used to make a weak attempt at 2 cans of soup and a share a litre of merrydown when I was at school discos, many moons ago. I remember it being difficult to drink but not as strong a taste as the Carlies, which were also deadly .
The other crap we used to drink, Eldorado(bottom of the E on Rich White was half a bottle), Concorde or Hirondelle. The daddy was Henkell Trocken(I still laugh every day now going to work as I pass their Corp HQ in Wiesbaden). PMSL, great thread. I can't drink Vodka and Orange now as a result of my excess on it as a youngster. The thought of it still makes me queazy.

Regards

Once got a***holed on Tenants Super while fishing. 4 cans I think. I was about 15 at the time. Chucked me guts up. Never again.

J4cko: will keep an eye out for you rummaging through the bin outside the Macc branch of Woolworths.

last time i had that syrup, i was 15 i think,at a house party, had 4 cans and some Cinzano (dont ask) my mate carried me home (over a mile) knocked on my parents house, advised my dad that i had some pizza and felt really ill, i spent the whole night singing to the porcelain god, it was also my parents wedding anniversary, to say my dad wasnt amused is an undersight, have never touched the stuff since, the thought of it instantly reminds me of that night.!!

Cool

2 quick cans of freezing cold Londis Super just before you leave was the cheapest way to start a night out as you intended to go on. Luckily I am not a student anymore

I prefer Breaker Superbrew to Tennents Super. Same ABV but not nearly so sweet, almost like a normal (premium) lager.

Special Brew was the one for me. Many, many cans of that fine beverage have passed my lips. In the "old days", my regular pick-me-up before heading out for an evening was 2 tins of special and half a wrap of powder. Ahh, we knew how to live in those days...
