Back eleventy billion years ago when I was at UW in Seattle, I was vera po’ indeed. I drank all of the MD, Thunderbird, Lucky, etc. My favorite though was to buy a case of beer for just a few bucks. The name of the beer? It was simply a white label which said “BEER” in big black letters. (I do think it was bottled by the same people who made Lucky Lager though).

It had puzzles under the cap.

So did Balentine Ale.

Balie was great for putting a buzz on with a limited budget - twice the kick as beer. Gosh, thirty years later I can still taste that "fortified" flavor the way it tasted on a hot summer day out of the 16 ounce green bottles.

Of course, if all you wanted was to get effed up on a budget - it was Haffenreffer "Green Death."

Other than urinal wine in prison I think lysol is the cheapest, nastiest crap I have seen or heard of people drinking.

They forgot the Kitty Dukakis special: vanilla extract. Or was it rubbing alcohol? Hmmm....

She looks under the sink

“BEER” in big black letters.

Ugh. I remember that. Two cans to an instant headache.

Rubbing alcohol? That stuff’s denatured! It’ll get you “blind drunk” - literally!

“Ocean” is prepared by punching a whole in the hairspray bottle with a nail, releasing the propellant. The remaining liquid is then poured into a gallon milk jug to mix with water. Sometimes other stuff is added to disguise the awful taste.

Very popular with indians in Gallup NM. AquaNet is 70% methyl alcohol.

I used to work at a convenience store across the road from a state office building. People without an address would go there to pick up their government checks. On an ordinary week we would carry a case or two of thunderbird. On the first week of the month when the checks came in we carried 8 cases of the bird. I used to always go ahead and put the bottle in a little paper bag and twist the top.

Sterno has long been mixed with water and other liquids to produce a drink called "canned heat", "squeeze" or "pink lady". The product is squeezed through a rag (or in other traditions, a loaf of French bread with ends removed) to extract the alcohol. These alcoholic beverages, primarily used in poorer communities, have been linked to numerous deaths from methanol poisoning, including 31 people in Philadelphia in 1963.[2]

No mention of Old Setter? (It points the way!)

Guaranteed less than 30 days old!

I am in error about Old Setter. It's aged at least four years.

 

  

 

There's another one of the cheapies that said on the label "guaranteed less than 30 days old" and now I can't remember what it was.

Nothing like a good jolt of soju...of course, I prefer the snake variety over the rat...
