2 Homeopathetic Lagers lol
Ah, but is it as good as Primator Exkluziv, 16%? - voted the World's Best Lager. But the abv seems to be about 7.5%, so where the 16% comes from, I don't know.No problem ... I have a tap in the kitchen that delivers homeopathic lager at almost zero cost. Tastes better than most lager too ...

I guess you all know the one about the homeopath that committed suicide by taking an underdose?

Woops, google translate being an arse. That should be:

Something similar happened with Pilsner Urquell (now there is a good lager - allegedly the only major brand still brewed in Pilsen). In an early (1970s) example of Trading Standards dealing with the really important things, they objected to the large "12o" label on the bottle, which apparently meand "degrees Plato", not alcohol by volume (not unlike our similarly misleading "percent proof" which is about twice the ABV). The court case collapsed on the grounds that people - well other than Carlsberg Special drinkers - do not drink lager just to get the maximum alcohol for the minimum money (supermarket gin and Bristol Cream sherry are for that purpose). This of course gave Urquell free publicity in the British press, and possibly kick started the realisation in this country that lager could taste like something other than piss so long as you stayed away from anything by a British brewery, or a continental brand with the dreaded phrase "brewed under licence in the UK".
Bristol Cream is made only by Harveys and is quite exensive. I assume you mean British Cream - made by anybody, just as strong and half the cost.
When I was in my early 20s we worked out that Ginger Wine gave best alcohol per penny value. It was £1.99, the same as the cheapest wines at that time but was the same strength as Sherry and other drinks that cost £2.50 or £3.00 a bottle. And it mixed with soft drinks if you were a wuss or with spirits if you wanted to throw up, er, get very drunk.
Although prices have changed it is probably still fairly good value. Just not the best value anymore.
I mean the stuff that is, or used to be, popular among winos, allegedly. Fortunately not a state I have found myself in so far. I have one unfortunate friend who drinks on the "maximum alcohol for minimum money" principle, and his current choice seems to be Carlsberg Special, though if I remember correctly when he still had some inheritance to drink away it was supermarket gin.

For many years Buckfast Tonic Wine has been a popular drink in Glasgow where there is now what's called the 'Buckfast Triangle'. Anyone who watched the TV series Rab C. Nesbitt will be familiar with the 'Buckie' or Buckfast Wine. This is an area east of Glasgow between Airdrie, Coatbridge and Cumbernauld where the wine is consumed with 'gusto' to put it mildly. On numerous occasions, the latest being October 2006, the Scottish health minister has held talks with the 'Buckie' distributors as there is a great concern that the drink is a main contributor to anti-social behaviour. Indeed a popular Scottish phenomenon is the 'Buckie Commando' who is an intoxicated, aggressive, fearless consumer of the Buckfast Tonic Wine

In recent times, Buckfast has achieved a surprising level of popularity in working class and bohemian communities in certain parts of Scotland.
Or as it is known locally Ned wine, notice the picture in wiki it claims to be a bottle of Bucky laying on the street that of course is impossible an empty bottle yes a full bottle no. One of the unwelcome imports from a foreign country.
Looks like an empty bottle to me, a theory supported by the absence of a stopper. The caption is wrong. I also don't believe that either the bottle or the street would look that clean without special preparation for the photograph.
