Lambrusco! White, rose and red. I had to get a bottle for nostalgia's sake. (And its 2.95 a bottle) It was the pre alcho pop fizzy drink of choice. And the red was more sophisticated (ha, who am I kidding?)
Any other long lost drinks that scream big hair and shoulder pads?

Archery I’m so glad you asked that as insured tonwork in a pub and don’t remember that effect from snakebites - it any smell, at least nothing that wasn’t on par with a pint of Black and Tan or a Guinness and orange.

Hmm I used to work in a pub. Was probably insured as well though

Such a disappointment OP I was hoping for black forest gateau.

I was a Black Russian girl, but nineties not eighties. Never made it with Tia Maria though, Kahlua gives a way better drink.

I was a Black Russian girl

Yummy. Have you ever tried it with a Guinness head? Just drop of Guinness and it tastes amazing. You taste the bitterness of the Guinness, then the sweetness of the Black Russian. Drool 🤤

Blue nun and Thunderbird for me please!

Paul Masson wine carafe for a classy dinner party at home Grin

augustusglupe Lunchtime drinks at the pub were the norm at the bank(s) I worked at too. I never indulged because I didn't want to stay late looking for till differences Grin

I just love a glass of peach Concorde to unwind after a hard day at work. The aromas remind me of biting into a zesty peach and in no way of puking after drinking two bottles at an under 18 disco

It's like they were reading my mind Grin

Positively the only thing Guinness is good for is baking; steak and stout pie, and Guinness chocolate cake.

I’d never drink the damn stuff though! :o

alwaysthepessimist · 15/10/2018 19:45

Southern comfort for me (still is). Lager and double lime shot, mirage and lemonade, martini rosso and lemonade, pernod and lemonade (never again got vv drunk...aniseed vomit....ewww)

PositivelyPERF · 15/10/2018 19:50

I’d never drink the damn stuff though! I demand that you have a blood test, to immediately prove that you’re not Irish. Doesn’t like Guinness! Well I never! 😯
I only drink it with Black Russian

Black Tower for a birthday (posher).

Mateus Rose when you were feeling really sophisticated.
