Considering all the drinks I have had at Sci-Fi cons I’m afraid to look.
Does MD 20 count?

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

Speaking of bum wine, actually here in Atlanta the bums like to drink mouthwash, too.

Why are the moderators allowing crap like this to be posted here? Slow night?

My grandfather told me that during the prohibition, people actually believed that if you poured antifreeze through a strainer filled with potatoes(or was it potato peels?) that the potatoes would soak up the bad stuff and what ran out the strainer was ok to drink.

Newfie Screech ... guarantees the worst hangover ever.

The Screech Story

Before liquor boards were created, Jamaican rum was a popular part of a Newfoundlanders diet, with salt fish traded to the West in exchange for rum. When the Government took control of the liquor business, it began selling the rum in unlabelled bottles. The product remained nameless until the American servicemen came to the Island during World War II.

The story goes like this: The commanding officer of the original detachment was having his first taste. The Newfoundlander downed his drink in one gulp, so the American did the same.. The American’s blood-curdling scream attracted alot of attention. An American sergeant who heard the sound from outside pounded his fist on the door and demanded to know, "What the cripes was that ungodly screech?"

The Newfoundlander replied in true Newfie form, "Da Screech? ‘Tis the rum, me son."

As all embarrassing moments do, the incident spread, and the soldiers were determined to try this mysterious "Screech" to see what all of the fuss was about. The drink was soon their favorite.

The Liquor Board adopted the name and began labeling the dark rum Newfoundland Screech.

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

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]
