Its 4am - what are you drinking?

[Dragonboneman]

WEll ive found either tea (sweet and milky for 4am) or the evil bliss that is Buckfast work best, although after a bottle of buckfast you are a) up for another 3 hours and b) too drunk to notice when your character dies of hunger.

The reason you dont go to bed is the same reason to have another cigarette, pure honest addiction. Ciggies are easier to give up than *band though.

Buckfast?!? Haven't touched that since I was 15 and didn't know any better.
Are you a fellow Scotsman?

At 4am, it's probably amaretto and orange juice. Or port.

all the way from sunny scotland. Buckfast is a wonderful drink, not to be abused though, or all sorts of death could happen

Mmmm amaretto. You should try swapping half that orange juice for cranberry juice.

You can get drunk from buckfast? That strange wine-cum-medicine only ever used to make me wired. But what a wired it made me, beats cheap, dirty speed anyday - something else you scots seem to have a penchant for.

And like cheap speed, Buckfast has rather unpleasant after-effects. Small wonder it's made by monks - every bottle is a lesson in sin and punishment.

I think the key thing to remember is that it's made by monks, not drank by them...

Are you sure about that? I thought it was where the whole "mad monk" stereotype came from.

Not sure at all, I'm just hazarding a guess that the monks who bottle the stuff make it out of everything that grows on their idyllic little mountain that they have decided is inedible! If they do drink it, I suspect it is as a tonic, as intended - ie "Three small glasses a day, for good health and lively blood" to quote wikipedia - a page which has just informed me of its scottish pet-name "wreck-the-hoose-juice".

The "mad monk" stereotype has its roots in the Rasputin legend, AFAIA (the mad monk) and therefore was around well before the first days of Buckfast back in Victorian England.


EDIT - I never went that mental on the stuff, TBH - it's weirdly vodka that makes me smash shit up, and brawl with my equally pissed mates, possibly because it goes down so easily and therefore so quickly.

I knew I should've ended that last post with one of these:

And deny me my discovery of such a delicious nickname for the stuff, not to mention a few more posts in a thread I started? How dare you suggest such a travesty!

umm...

wreck the hoose juice lol

I'd like to think the monks drink buckfast. I seriously doubt it or they would probably have introduced ASBOs many years ago.

Monks are also known for flogging themselves and wearing really scratchy underwear. Funny how those haven't caught on.
