I remember a gentlemens drink also purchased in little bottles called Barley Wine, that would take the hind legs off a donkey when mixed with a half pint of bitter. Use of the word wine due to its alcoholic strength, but since it was made from the grain still a beer. Fearsome stuff but drunk in copious amounts by the older men.

Proper tramp juice. I knew a (now long dead) ale-can who's tipple of choice was three or four pints of this - I'm guessing about three bottles to a pint and I think it was 9-10%

My wife drank that while we were dating. Cost me a fortune each night.

For our anniversary a couple of years ago, i got them in for her.
Her face was a picture. Turns out she didn't even like them. She only asked for them because her mates thought they were cool to drink, so she just copied them!.......fucking women!!!

Mainly the flat caps that drank it.

I remember going on a training course with work mid 90’s in corby, we stayed in this little village with a local pub, an old gentleman sat at the bar drinking pints of that & walked out seemingly sober?!! lethal stuff that!!

LOL actually babycham and cherry b were quite good

Think it changed its name to Sunny Delight.

Gospel truth i used to make the stuff, we used to put a preservative in called Diamoxidecholorchlorine, one thimble full would go in a 10,000 litre tank and would kill all known bacteria.It came in 25 ltr flasks, and had to be coupled up with the greatest care, breathing masks, rubber gloves, it was kept in a secure store double locked,i had a key and the other key was held by the security guard, we had emergency alarms rigged up to evacute the entire factory, should one of the flasks break, this went into you're food, although i am reliable informed that it was harmless after 24 through hydrolysis.

Having seen your posts on a different subforum, I guess we can all see that drinking too much of Sunny D is not great for long term critical thinking.
