Just be glad they were drinking that and not 'the drink that gets you fucked fast'

Unless you're from some quite specific parts of the UK or Ireland, you may not be familiar with Buckfast. It's a fortified tonic wine, that, while not crazy strong at 15 percent, has a caffeine content which is apparently higher per millilitre than Red Bull and is loaded with tons of sugar and piles of other tasty chemicals. Interestingly, it's also made by a community of Benedictine monks living in Devon. It might seem like an odd fit but it earns them some
pretty big money.
Buckfast is syrup-thick, tastes like a palatable mixture of Ribena and Benylin and gets you pretty uniquely trashed. It's wildly popular with certain sections of my countrymen – usually, the ones that all the other sections don't want much to do with because they spend most of their time hanging around on street corners getting into fights and breaking things. "Neds", as they're known in the local vernacular. Accordingly, it has earned Buckfast nicknames like "wreck the hoose juice" as well as the catchy unofficial slogan: "Buckfast: gets you fucked fast".
