Alcopops!

ron.burgundy

Remember years ago when everyone thought that only gay people and girls drank alcopops? well I've got news for ya, was out last night and I saw quite possibly the hardest looking bloke in the world (bigger than B.A. and rougher than Vinny Jones) and in his hand he had a bottle of smirnoff ice. It just looked wrong! :cool: Are we now "allowed" to drink alcopops?

Im beginning to see more and more blokes drinking them too. I know for sure Id get a lot of stick of my mates if I was drinking them. Dont know wether its fully accepted yet. In fairness, by the sounds of him who is gonna slag him for drinkin alcopops.

I wasn't aware of anything that prohibited it, apart from most of them being crap on their own (the fun comes when you mix!)

I remember hearing about the stigma to do with alcopops about 3 years ago, but since the fat frog craze I think it has gone away? I hate the ****e itself, but if someone wants to drink petrol I'm hardly gonna say anything against them (bar take it easy)

^ and dont smoke!

Also all the wicked and smirnoff ice ads feature lads havin a great time, and theyre quite entertaining too, but that still doesnt mean id be caught dead with one in the pub* (fat frogs are ok)

*Although a friend of mine can do this trick where he can knock back an alcopop in 3 seconds so he is allowed to drink them

Alcopops are ****e - drink beer! If you like that kinda stuff, why not buy a shot of liquor and mix it with a mixer, rather than paying for stuff with god knows what in it??? They can put any poor quality vodka batches into those and you will never know......

Nope he used to put one straw in alrite but now he can just do it with only a bottle. Dont see the difference really, although i tried it once and eh, long story short it was an expensive way to destroy my shirt

Putting a straw in it and downing it in one is called snorkeling it, if you can drink coke fast you can down a wkd.

You put a straw in it and then bend the bendy bit over the lip then start chugging. The straw removes airbubbles in it so it just slides down the throat instead of 'clugging' and spurting out like a regular bottle.

I have to spread the word - Wickedwiser!

half of blue wkd and half of bud - sounds bad but not in the least..

Ro: maaan!

Why are alcopops ok to drink and not cocktails? They're pretty much the same...

jonnybadd

Working in a bar when i was younger and a group of 4 travellers(known for trouble in the area, someone losing an ear in another pub the week before due to them) Entered. The place went deadly silent as the biggest one, arms like tree trunks you know the type, approached me at the bar. "4 bottles of Smirnoff Ice" I would have pissed myself if it wasnt life threatining to do so.

also known as a shotgun

knock back 2 in a row, is a double barrel shogun....

billy the squid

if i were to spend the whole night drinking the likes of wkd I would be sick before I would be drunk. they are nice to have one or two but then your better off to move onto something like beer.

a bottle of tia maria and litre of milk is the right job if you want to get rightly drunk, but not stupid drunk.

mad m

Alcopops my Arse.Was in St Oliver Gogartys tonight and an alcopop was 6.70euro during dark night....fecking highway robbery.Got a price list from bar and pint of black stuff was 4.55 during day and 4.95 at a later time.

left after the first pint,not impressed.

Tha Gopher

I saw one of the most psychotic little scumbags i know drinkin an orange Bacardi Breezer one night. You see more lads drinkin WKD now, but never BB

Stick with me beer generally, i was out at that nightclub at fairyhouse, the beer was **** and they were sellin alcopops cheap so i was drinkin some brand i never heard of it. Generally dont drink them or fat frogs tho, cos oim an ard geezah

Normally I stay well clear of the sugar buzz afforded by tart fuels but wickedwiser and it's variants are surprisingly good.

Now buckfast - the original alcopop?

I'd normally stay clear of alcopops, except when I get really drunk and they seem like a great idea. WKD gives me a wkd headache the next day though.

Some club at home used to have a promo on something called Banshee, which was like Woodies (who remembers that?) with about 4 or 5 flavours. Not bad, especially when it was 3 for €10. Never seen that anywhere else though.

John Daniels and Red Bull, now that's a drink to get plastered on.

Tar.Aldarion

Jeez, that is rotten... Alcopops, fat frogs and wickedweiser are grand for part time kiddie drinkers, but for those of us who like to put a good few pints back, and last a few hours (maybe even the whole day), then there's no way you could drink all that crap.

Tar.Aldarion

my friend mixed bavaria and vodka...he lasted the day(abusing every1 apparently it's a violent drink) but our fridge exploded after the numerous kicks it got....don't try that drink....

I didn't allude to fat frogs and alco pops - just wickedwisers! Try it - it's great after 5 or 6 real pints - then 2 or 3 wickedwisers then proper spirits.

It's illegal to sell a spirit on tap afaik.

snorlax

alcopops are so expensive in clubs, i would only buy them from an off license(6 euros a bottle in Messers!).
i prefer to buy guinness or beer, you get more value for your money and it's harder to drink beer fast/ so not as likely to go to your head as fast(-but i guess that depends how quickly you can drink beer!)

Kevin_rc_ie

girls shouldnt drink guiness. it's makes their upper lip hairy.

jezza

i drank guinness twice! it took me over an hour to finish 1st one and i threw it up. then drank 2nd can as i wasnt gonna let it get to me! never again

snorlax

yes but its like coffee, the first one's always going to be rough and the 2nd one is better(spiked with blackcurrant juice!), and so on, it actually has a much nicer taste then most of the drinks out there(and is cheaper!).

try drinking somehting sweet after it(or some chocolate), if your just getting used to it!

Kevin_rc_ie

jezza it seems everything u drink makes u sick, stick to the coca cola.

jezza

hey i dont drink coke either! or tea/coffe/whiskey/brandy.
wkd, vodka, bacardi, smirnoff ice fat frogs cider and bud is all good.
i had to get stomach pumped from drinking brandy thats why i dont like it.

Kevin_rc_ie

yeah, it wasnt the brandy it was u that was at fault. u drank too much. the brandy didnt force it's self down ur throat. something is telling me neither the time nor the place.

jezza

it was important at the time.
and it wasnt even that much.
well i wont ever touch it again, so it wasnt all bad

The_B_Man

ye blokes who drink them are puffs. except for the ones who havent a clue. this is due to either them bein massive and ppl bein afraid to tell them they're puffs for drinkin a girliedrink or coz they're so clueless that they drink it coz they think they're cool or still in the frame of mind that they think they're still 12 wit their bottles of woodies. actually, i know a bloke from england that drinks shorts coz he never heard of them bein teh ghey. so maybe its just an irish thing?
