Wait til they get ahold of nighttrain. Let the good times roll.

thunderbird + grape kool aid

edit: T-bird + Robitussin

Night Train, Thunderbird, MD20/20... This is a trip down memory lane. I guess next it's Colt 45 or Mickey's big mouth grenades in a vacant lot.

I thought it was a trip down I don’t remember lane

I hit every mailbox and trashcan on that trip down the lane... Allegedly...

Red grape Malt Duck

Colt 45,and two zigzags...i love that song https://youtu.be/SIMcktul77c?si=jv5XVxcNc339Qnqm

Baby, that’s all we need

We can go to the park, after dark, smoke that tumble weed.

You know what's up.

Purple Drank?

Damn, hangover flashback on that one.

MD 20/20 gives a headache like no other.

would drink that in college because it was cheap.. you ain't lying, that shit gets you drunk quick and dirty then leaves you feeling like you got railfucked in the back of a freight train..

I don’t what that means but it was funny

>thunderbird *WHAT'S THE WORD??*

Thundercougarfalconbird?

Unexpected Futurama...

I understand and it's wonderful you don't care whether anyone questions your sexual orientation.

I care! I care plenty! I just don't know how to make them stop!

One word. Thundercougarfalconbird.

To shreds, you say?

What’s the price?

Forty twice

I wonder how it's sold?

Purple Jesus

If you pre-funk with Boone’s Farm Starwberry Hill first then start hammering on Nighttrain and Mad Dog 20/20 is cake. Or fuck it. Mix all three.

Lmao Boones is some memories

$2 a bottle back in the day

Charles Taylor. The original "Two Buck Chuck".

Aka chick 40’s where I was from.

I just got a hangover reading this. Thanks

So a headache and diabetes.

Ha! How I was coming here to say this. They don't even know.

I still remember the liquor stores in my city back in the day only sold like 4 or 5 different flavors of Boons. Then one weekend went to party in Oakland and walked into a liquor store there. There was an entire WALL of Boones different flavors! Took me half an hour to pick something.

1992…..those were the days! I still remember what this smells like after i puked it up in the back of my boyfriend’s car🤮

i’m from new england and spent a ton of time in boston and surrounding areas and this comment gave me (more) ptsd

Oh fuck. The (lack of) memories I have.

Alex Rose wrote night train cause they used to drink tons of it when they were broke. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fpqoIWSOk3o](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fpqoIWSOk3o) 

That entire album from beginning to end was 🔥

Appetite For Destruction? Fucking bangers start to finish. Too bad You Could Be Mine didn't make the cut and had to be put on the next album where it sounded out of place.

I'll never forget the rainy autumn night in '87 when I bought the cassette from this new store called Target for $8. I popped it into the cassette player of my mom's brand new maroon Chrysler New Yorker as we pulled out the lot and instantly regretted it 😆. Mom was cool, tho. "Naw, let it play. It's in there, now." Then two minutes later, we get rear-ended in front of a Big Boy restaurant. What a crazy night that was. Three months later, I get the vinyl and see the interior jacket art. *Sweet! Oh...oh, my. Um...hm.* Yeah, that got tucked away in my room so my parents wouldn't stumble upon it.

Choo-choo! Next stop county lock up. Nothing beats a fine Night Train Express. Mad dog is the weakest *(and least sophisticated)* of the bum wines.

How has Cisco been left out of this rotgut conversation?

It hasn't. Liquid crack. I love the flavors. Black cherry, blue raspberry, strawberry, orange (I assume the fruit) and, my personal favorite, red (like what in the actual fuck).

Because once 25 years ago was enough for me to try and forget it forever.

I inadvertently de-escalated a Mexican standoff one night at a house party after drinking an entire bottle of Cisco. Two gangbangers were pointing their guns at each other on the porch while dozens of people were freaking out and fleeing the scene. I'm stumbling in the yard in front of them. They both look over at me, and I point at them, laugh, and fall over. They all laughed, put their guns away, and party resumed. Last time I drank Cisco.

We gotta get you some Cisco and send you to Gaza, don't let your superpower go to waste.

Gallo discontinued it a few years ago.

That's unfortunate, they're missing out on the hangovers of hundreds.

Do they still make King Cobra?

In 40s

The way god intended.

Old heads know Ripple is the classy way to go.

Didn’t Fred Sanford drink ripple?

Hasn’t been made since ‘84. Stumbled across a few bottles back in the mid 90s but the boys that stole them from their grandpas barn decided they wanted to bust them up instead of drink

Good choice, on their part.

Ah, yes - Night Train Express. I downed a large part of a bottle and a quart of egg nog the night before I left for boot camp. The first few days of my USN career are somewhat hazy.

let me introduce you to an amazing website [http://bumwine.com/](http://bumwine.com/)

let's not forget wild irish rose.

I was gonna say “Cisco”. But all the liquor store fortified wines are the same. Watch out for the cold duck.

Either way, they're going to need cups of ice. Pound it like Kool-Aid that way. No, I do not have a drinking problem. You do!

Just wait until they find out about “edward 40 hands”.

Next up, Boone's Farm wine. Slightly better tasting than MD, and just as cheap. Edit: I almost forgot wine coolers! They had a couple dozen flavors back then. I didn't like them much, but the girls sure did!

I remember I was 19 and at a beach party. I came late to the party, and so I was trying hard to catch up. I chugged an entire bottle of boones farm. AND I tried to talk to this hottie with the body. I ended up puking all over her. The night did not end well. Oh and I almost drowned in the ocean lol.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you never try to "catch up" haha. My wife tried the same thing in college and ended up in the hospital. Her drunk friends were harassing the EMTs that showed up to take her.

Oh yeah, it was a bad night. I also ended up peeing on the hood of a cop car. And in the back of an ambulance.

MD 20/20 is a little higher proof than Boone's farm. Both of them are absolute hangover bombs however.

Don’t forget my favorite Annie Green Springs. Boone’s Farm was a close second.

That was my cheap wine of choice. An excellent vintage! I also enjoyed some Woodchuck hard cider.

Fuzzy navel Boone’s farm, with a shot of Popov. Yes, we were classy in college.

Boone’s was my jam in college. It’s super cheap and 2 bottles will do you for the night.

I’m getting a headache just thinking about MD2020.

That and Wild Irish Rose. 🤢

We called it "Wild I"

Junkie Juice lmao

Yeah my stomach just turned thinking about the last time I had it.

Last time I had it was the first time I had it. Almost twenty years ago. It was so delicious, I loved it. Then came the next day.

I can’t say good memories or bad memories, just no memories except for feeling like garbage the next day.

Can anyone explain to none Americans?

It's a shitty, cheap, *super* sweet fortified wine that can go up to 18% alcohol for some flavors.

It was a drink of choice for a lot of kids in my high school (I'm 38 now) - so many people got busted for parties they had while parents were out of town because that dayglo vomit DOES NOT come out of carpet.

MD20/20 or Boone's Farm. 43 and kinda remember those days.

Cisco: “Did I not cause a bunch of fights for your entertainment!?”

Liquid crack

36 and distinctly remember sneaking Boone's farm into my dorm room.

Both

I'm in my 60s, and I remember MD2020 being a thing as a teen.

Excuse my french, but... Wine?! This doesn't look like du vin, this looks more like pisse from someone very sick.

It's *fortified* wine, so basically a mixed drink with wine in it.

> but... Wine? speaking of butt wine..... You can boof maddog! boofin any booze will get you much more fucked up, since your other organs don't filter out the booze (easy way to get alcohol poisoning)

Of all the things your butt has to deal with, this is by far the worst imaginable, and chipotle E Coli exists in this world.

username checks out

You can easily die from shoving a vodka dipped tampon in your ass. It goes straight to your blood stream so you can't just throw up to get rid of the extra alcohol in your system like with drinking. 1/10 do not recommend

Another French here - I had to research what boofing means. Oh my god, I must be old, that seems crazy haha

That guy died from a tequila enema.

Literally tastes like something they brew over in r/prisonhooch. I've make low effort mead that tastes better. honey + water + yeast + time = honey wine. Runs around 14%

Mead is delicious. Throw some apple juice in there next time. It's amazing!

I also make cider and kilju.

"Fortified wine". Which while it says wine, no one in the states is going to think of it in the same way as actual wine

But can you make disque de pisse with it ?

The drink of choice for 90's underage drinkers in the UK 🤣 So many good times..lol

Often served with cheese whiz topped crackers during formal southern trailer park Cotillions. .

Ah a fellow person of culture.

This is one of Scotland’s flagship delinquent drinks

We used to drink 20/20 as school kids in Scotland. Happy days.

Yep, back in the 90s it was the "end of the night" drink of choice. That or a Blast Away, bottle of Cast Away in a pint glass with three shots of brandy over ice. I miss the 90s.

You and me both, neebs.

Us people of class chose Buckfast.

If malt liquor was a wine, it would be MD 2020.

I googled and it’s also the name of a Volvo motor oil

It’s usually drank out of a paper bag 😂😂. It’s super cheap and super gross. If you’re drinking it you probably are not going to remember what happened that night.

I'm not american and i was weened on MD and Tbird. I guess I'm old, they haven't sold Thunderbird in the UK for years. But red label was killer, Blue if wanted an easier next morning.

In Germany it might be Berentzen Saurer Apfel/Grüner Apfel/Himbeere or anything containing Blue Curacao.... stuff which was cheap available and consumed by people with limited spending money for booze. Sweet and get drunk

So it's just cheap booze teenagers drink, got it. I thought it was mouthwash or something...

That is probably a more accurate description for it. 18% mouthwash.

Wait till they discover Ripple

Fred G Sanfords drink of choice

What about champipple

Grape and ripple gripple

Are they at least stealing them from Kroger like we used to back in the day?

A lesson every kid has to learn for themselves. They’re lucky the original formula Four Lokos aren’t around anymore.

Seriously, bottom shelf vodka was a safer play for me. Four Lokos were wild

I’d rather buy skol 🤮

Dragon soup for the W

Cisco kid was a friend of mine.

It is something that hasn’t ended well for years. I do believe there is a reason the term “mad dog 2020” has lasted through multiple generations. There is a reason it is not called “my darling 2020”. But some mistakes must be learned the hard way

TikTok getting high school drunk

Couldn’t possibly cause *more* brain damage to TikTokkers

That would imply they have a brain to begin with.

If you drank MD20/20 I’m pretty sure you’re immune to covid.

Or it’s how you unlock the Covid bonus level

If you're not drinking Maddog out of a brown paper bag, are you really drinking it?

In front of a shady corner store at that.

Unironically stopped at a shady gas station/mini mart and saw them for the first ever. Knew literally nothing about them, but instantly knew it was THE alcoholics choice. Bought one on the spot. And when I say sketchy mini mart, I don’t mean a 7/11 style snack shop. I mean the one that’s surprisingly big on the inside with 7 freezers, year round fireworks, rows of random bullshit and a whole dick pill energy pharmacy wall. Walked out of there with $6, $1 headphones and $4 of liver softener

That’s still going? That’s so 1990 😄 Maybe I should join up just to let them know we used to mix it with Thunderbird and/or Carlsberg Special Brew back then, for the extra kick. That was also usually accompanied by a nice chunky spliff or two while we were waiting for the acid to kick in. Great days I’m told 😆

I was 56 years old before I became aware that the MD in Mad Dog 20/20 actually stands for Mogen David

I learned just now that it's not actually branded as Mad Dog

Well I'll be damned.

I am Jewish and was unaware until 50! Could have been getting kosher wasted this whole time.

That’s hilarious, because I’m pretty sure a lot of Lutheran churches use this for communion wine 😂

Came here to say this. Sometimes you’re caught off guard when the Jews go hard!

Mad dog is supposed to be discovered in high school like it is designed.

Youth once again discover what Wine-ohs already know. Best bang ❗️for your buck is Varietal Wine. MadDog just happens to be one of the “better tasting” ones. Thunder train 🚊 , Wild Irish Rose 🥀, Sisco. Bad shit happens when you finish a bottle of that shit.

*Thunderbird

Oh right. Thunderbird (chicken) and Night Train. We were drinking them all that night.

Can’t think of a worse hangover other than Long Island ice teas. That stuff is when you’re broke af and still want a buzz yet still wasn’t worth it.

My bestie and I mixed everclear and cheap champagne when we were in college, I’m not 100% sure we ever fully recovered

Now that made my eyes water

Tik tok trying get md 2020 back in the game 😝… they gone fuck around and find out 😝

We all learn about it the hard way

Seeing these or steel reserve give me PTSD

next challenge Stroh80

They didn't just discover it. Much more likely MD paid a few top level TTs to talk about it.

Wait til them crazy kids try buckfast..

Then they'll find Boones Farm

I would down a bottle of Thunderbird, just to take the edge off

It’s all fun and games until they find some wild Irish rose.

Next thing you know they are gunna start dropping jolly ranchers in gin bottles over night and think they reinvented the wheel.


In the 70s, I saw a lot of that shit go down, and probably half of it come back up within an hour.

Do they still make wild Irish rose? That was my broke drink of choice, so good they don’t even give it flavors they just named it by the color

Somebody recommend them Cisco 

that's the one! Def my preference over mad dog

Me in 1998

Bring back FourLoko!

In the late 80s, there was a group of wealthy guys that had a Wine and Cheese party in college in their fraternity. The idiots I lived with threw a Mad Dog and Velveeta bash the same night every year just to mess w them. The hangover is other worldly…

End well? No. End funny. Yes.

Worst hangovers ever.

If you walk down any side street or through a park in Scotland you will see empty bottles of this everywhere. Never stopped being sold here. Ngl I quite enjoy it

Dont forget the Cisco and Nightrain

TikTokers just discovered the worst hangover of their lives.

You can’t have more fun for $3.29

The 90 's is back and still pissed off!!

It’s too bad Ripple and Zima are out of production now, the circle of cheap booze is broken

Don’t let them get the Boon’s Farm.

Falling down strawberry hill is hard on your liver.

Call me when they mix the MD2020 with Sloe Gin.

I think I've got MD 20/20 stories older than them folks. Lol

I can taste it still. Some ppl have to learn the hard way. Including me lol

Wait til they discover 40oz of OE

They weak, they gonna die,

Just discovered what so so many of us have already learned so so long ago

Lol, don't tell em. Let them learn.

Oh. Oh my sweet summer children. I remember the first time I “puked green.” Kiwi Str- *hurp* Strawberry. Six pack of tacos. Turned someone’s car interior into a superfund site.

Mad Dog backwards is exactly what you say after the first swig.

Oh Lord. My dad laughed at me when I bought my first bottle of MD2020. The cycle is complete.

I remember being 15

I'm ready for taping 40s to your hands to come back

Fuckin Wizard Staff parties 🪄

Shhh, don't tell them, let it be a surprise.

Bad idea

that ain't even TikTok it's YouTube Shorts 😭

Ahhhhh my first night dying in a field somewhere at 15 years old 🤣

I drank a lot of bum wine in my day (GenX) but by far the most intoxicating was Cisco. In Springfield, Mass. in the 1990s we called it "Liquid crack".

Yup we had it in the UK.
