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!

Diamond blush cider
Pernod and black currant
Pink panthers - can't remember what was in them though.

I remember the first time I tried Bacardi Breezer, it was on a holiday with mates to Clarach Bay holiday park. We’d lied on the caravan rental form to say we were all 18, in fact we were 16 or 17.

We’d taken shit loads of lambrini with us but one day went to the bar where we discovered the delights of classily drinking Bacardi breezer with a straw 😄

MorningsEleven · 16/09/2018 16:50

Rum and black - wouldn't touch it if I was dying of thirst now

Same!

Also snakebite and black and pernod and black.

I must've had a thing for ribena!

holycityzoo · 16/09/2018 16:50

Vodka, lime and lemonade.
I wasn't much of a drinker though I preferred other things....
One drink at the start of the night then on to water or sometime purdeys(sp?) if I was feeling flush.

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 16/09/2018 16:51

Vodka and orange. Or those vodka alcopops - I forget the name. They were mixed with juice.

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 16/09/2018 16:53

Archers and lemonade (yuck) or cider (still OK).

FogCutter · 16/09/2018 16:54

Anything sweet and sickly basically-

Archers and lemonade
Cider
Hooch
Taboo (classy!)
Malibu and coke
Cinzano or martini and lemonade
Metz
Sambucca or archers shots (bleugh)

Couldn't drink any of them now, dry white wine or G&Ts only for me now!

BarryTheKestrel · 16/09/2018 16:54

Reef.
Cointreau and lemonade.
Archers and lemonade.
Cherry sourz and coke.

Would drink all of them again as a one off, definitely not at the scale I used to!

Only thing I wouldn't touch now is cheap cider, cheap vodka or taboo!

bluemoonchances · 16/09/2018 16:55

Pints of snakebite... if I was being ladylike Archers and lemonade... both of which now I find gross!

C0untDucku1a · 16/09/2018 16:56

Blu curacau and lemonade
Bacardi and coke
Midori ans lemonade
Tia maria and coke

These days i just drink lager shandy or gin amd tonic

brizzledrizzle · 16/09/2018 16:57

Pernod and black. Not a chance I'd drink it now - I don't think I've drunk it since I was 17/18.

MauveSofa · 16/09/2018 16:57

Cider
No hate it now
Occasional whiskey

YouCantBeSirius · 16/09/2018 16:59

Buckfast or mad dog 20/20. I was classy Grin I wouldn't go near them now. I drink rarely but if I do I like a whisky or a nice vodka.

BikeRunSki · 16/09/2018 17:00

Snakebite and black
Thunderbird
Taunton Cider

I might order a cider on a very hot day, but likely to be a bit more refined.

AdaColeman · 16/09/2018 17:00

Martini
Scotch on the rocks

Now it's G&T or champagne or the occasional sherry.

rightknockered · 16/09/2018 17:02

Cider, southern comfort and coke, vodka and orange. Usually half a cider because it was 32p in the SU

rightknockered · 16/09/2018 17:03

Mostly drink vodka and tonic, dry white or single malt these days

iklboo · 16/09/2018 17:06

Vodka & lemonade or a 'depth charge' (shot of Pernod dropped into a pint of cider)

Whyiseveryonesoangry · 16/09/2018 17:06

Blue WKD or Hooch.
Brandy and Babycham if it was a special night out.
Almost tee total these days.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 16/09/2018 17:06

There used to be a cute little bottle of "CherryB" no idea what was in it though.

CherryB and cider was popular
Or the liquer Apricot or Cherry Bols with cider or Babycham

And Archers+Orange Juice (fuzzy naval)

CherieBabySpliffUp · 16/09/2018 17:06

Southern Comfort and lemonade. I had one last year for nostalgia purposes. I won't repeat that anytime soon.
Smirnoff Moscow Mule. I look back on those fondly and miss their demise. Though if I had one today they may not taste as nice as I remember.

moomoogalicious · 16/09/2018 17:07

Pernod and black, scotch and coke, holsten pils. Also a green nasty once which was snakebite and blue bols.

Can't touch spirits now.

Saucery · 16/09/2018 17:07

Gin and Lime
Snakebite and Black.

Courtney555 · 16/09/2018 17:08

Back then, malibu and diet coke, or black russians.

Still drink both at home.

Nights outs tend to be less drink orientated and more drinks accompanying meals, so only really wine now.

Champagne and prosecco still gets me rat arsed at a frightening rate so I don't touch that anymore.

TheCrowFromBelow · 16/09/2018 17:08

When I was 18 I drank pints of Snakebite and black or a Foster’s top
