And would you still drink it now? What's your drink of choice today? I liked Taboo, Malibu and Smirnoff ice. None of them I'd go near now!

Now I like an occasional Disaronno other than that it's a cup of tea, I'm only 40!

Cider .
Malibu and pineapple.
Wouldn't touch either now. The smell of cider now makes me heave.

PerspicaciaTick · 16/09/2018 16:39

Scotch and American.
The occasional vodka and orange or Southern Comfort and orange.
Brandy and babycham on special occasions.
Then I went to uni and swapped to cider

mammmamia · 16/09/2018 16:39

I drank a lot at 18
Diamond white Envy not envy
Castaway
Malibu
Archers and lemonade
Southern comfort and lemonade
Hooch
2 dogs
Woodys
WKD
Smirnoff Ice
I think those last two was when I was early 20s.
Sometimes Budweiser if I was sick of all the sweet stuff

I can’t imagine what all that did to my teeth Blush

I’m 40 now and wouldn’t touch any of that. I only drink good red wine and champagne. I even find Prosecco too sweet Hmm

HolyFuckNuggets · 16/09/2018 16:40

Blue WKD
Hooch
or those really fruity alcopops you used to get in whetherspoons. Mango was my fav but I'd have to drink so many of them to get me tipsy that I'd have the shits the next day. Classy.

VickieCherry · 16/09/2018 16:40

Snakebite and black. I wouldn't drink it now because I can't bear hangovers anymore.

Violetroselily · 16/09/2018 16:40

Vodka, lemon and lime

mammmamia · 16/09/2018 16:41

itslikenew
I used to drink blastaways at university - yuk

Oh yes also vodka and orange
Malibu and pineapple

Secretsquirrel101 · 16/09/2018 16:41

Archers and lemonade

HaroldsSocalledBluetits · 16/09/2018 16:41

Hooch, that was it. Thanks 70is. Christ, we must have looked classy, sat on the top deck of the 29 to Camden, smoking and drinking bloody Hooch.

mammmamia · 16/09/2018 16:41

And Bacardi breezer. The original alcopop. This thread really taking me back!

Tisfortired · 16/09/2018 16:42

Cherry sourz and coke (not had it in years but stand by how delicious it is)

Southern comfort, line and lemonade, would still have this on occasion.

Cider and black, still one of my go to's if I'm skint Blush

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 16/09/2018 16:42

Lager and lime, or 20/20.

hallodarknessmyoldfriend · 16/09/2018 16:43

When I was 18: lambrusco, vodka lemonade, cheap rose, smirnoff ice, pimms

I don't drink spirits anymore and cheap wine gives me headache now, so I would not go near any of them.

Now: wine

QueenOfMyWorld · 16/09/2018 16:43

Woodpecker cider Blush I wouldn't touch it now I'm a sauvignon blanc,vodka and tonic type of woman

POPholditdown · 16/09/2018 16:43

Red stripe
Jager
All the Wetherspoon cocktail pitchers

I don’t drink now, but even if I hadn’t stopped I don’t think I could take the taste of anything anymore 🤢

TellerTuesday4EVA · 16/09/2018 16:43

Pint of diesel.... larger, cider and black currant. Would sink pint after pint of it

If I had even a mouthful now I would vomit & my stomach would bloat to point my trousers popped open

Oh to be young again

mammmamia · 16/09/2018 16:45

And strongbow cider (heave)

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 16/09/2018 16:45

K cider or straight vodka over ice! Envy (not envy)!

Now a stereotypical 40yr old mum and a nice g&t or champagne/prosecco

QueenOfMyWorld · 16/09/2018 16:45

Tisfortired brandy and cherry coke is lovely worth a try

HolyFuckNuggets · 16/09/2018 16:47

Oh and I'd still have one or two of those when I go out if I don't want to get drunk. But if drinking at home I prefer white wine spritzers.

Eminybob · 16/09/2018 16:47

JD and coke, or a bud.

yorkshireyummymummy · 16/09/2018 16:47

Lager and lime - would drink it occasionally now in summer
Gin and tonic - yes, I would drink this still.
Vodka and lime - no thanks.
Diamond white - bork. Wouldn’t touch it.
Castaway - don’t think you can get it now but I wouldn’t buy it now.

Now I drink very little in comparasin. Haven’t been drunk fir years. The odd glass of red or white wine, champagne when DH opens a bottle, a G & T, an amaretto, a Baileys at Christmas, and I do like a dry sherry or an amontillado sometimes as an aperitif. And for some reason I really fancy a snowball now! Must be thinking of Christmas drinks! Ohh- mulled wine too!! And hot chocolate with brandy.................roll on winter!!

DelurkingAJ · 16/09/2018 16:48

Archers and lemonade. Had one out of curiosity a couple of years ago and it was so sweet I could nearly drink it! Ugh!

DelurkingAJ · 16/09/2018 16:49

Barely drink it...
