American here. What is this stuff? Is it intended to be consumed in a particular fashion, not just gulped down in a glass?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Victorian era four loko, the ingestion technique is more generally forced down.

Breakfast.

It's fortified wine with caffeine and is associated with people getting drunk and causing trouble

The buckfast motto tells you everything you need to know.

Buckfast gets you fucked fast.

It's intended to be consumed in a park directly from the bottle.

An ungodly fortified tonic wine brewed by people of god. Brewed could even be a strong word, if I had to guess, I would say it's extracted from a natural reserve which was originally thought to be oil until they realised it gets you shitfaced.

Bucky has one purpose. It's the thoroughbred of not-spirits.

Best served warm and straight from the bottle to the back of the throat.

It’s mostly consumed as an act of bravado in Scotland and the north of England, with the intention of getting riotously drunk.

And Northern Ireland. Folks here love a bit (a lot) of bucky.

Sounds like Jager bomb in a convenient twist-off bottle

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago

This is an apt comparison, especially since Buckfast is also caffeinated

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It appears it's kind of like MD 20/20 here in America. Cheap, sugary "bum" wine.

I just read they also add caffeine to it. Jesus.

Oh gods, mixing madd dog with four loko sounds horrible.
