When I was in college, we only drank M/D 20/20 (or other bum wines) when we were already drunk, so I don't really remember the taste (or much else).
Mickey's Malt Liqour though, that stuff used to knock me on my bum.
Mickey's big mouths... yep, those did the trick... So did Private Stock, from Hoffenriffer...One bottle would flip you on your a$$
I used to stuff about 8 of them in my bib overalls (college days) and go to the campus movies. Needless to say, not much movie was seen.
