The Buckfast Code

Neuroscientist Dr Steven Alexander tells how there is 281 milligrammes of caffeine in a bottle of Buckfast – as much caffeine as in eight cans of coke.

hmmm

Sensationalist Steven Alexander tells how there is 281 milligrammes of caffeine in a bottle of Buckfast - less caffeine than in a single large starbucks coffee

It contains the same alcohol as 2,500 slices of rum cake -FACT.

Sounds like Scotlands version of Panorama or Prime Time.

Going out on a limb here - but if anyone has played the game 'Mount and Blade', download the 'Gangs of Glasgow' mod. A bucky bottle is one of the weapons

It's like cut-price Baileys, albeit for hooligans instead of grannies.

Personally I can't do Buckfast. I've tried - oh lord I've tried - but it's just too puke-inducing.

I was going to say there should be a link to this is the Galway forum and BANG! hey presto it's up. Ha ha! :pac:

Friend of mine went on the Buckfast tour and said they have poster and framed pictures of Galway up about the place (along with 3/4 other spots).

I once did 20 minutes of an hour of power with Bucky and can't even smell the stuff anymore without vomiting..

fletch... · 18-01-2010 10:00PM

icanhearjimi · 18-01-2010 10:39PM

Tasted it once. It would be easier to drink a glass of ink. Fúcking terrible stuff.

narwog81 · 18-01-2010 10:51PM

vodka, bucky and monster energy drink is the latest craic in galway. rocket fuel is not the word:D

wild_cat · 18-01-2010 11:01PM

I adore the stuff.

Its started some of the best and worst nights of my life.

m@cc@ · 18-01-2010 11:06PM

Apparently, in Scotland it's known as "Wreck the Hoose Juice", "Commotion Lotion" and "Mrs. Brown".

Buckfast + Calpol = Rocket Fuel

Calpol is some good sh1t, to be fair... I thought so as a baby anyway.

stovelid · 18-01-2010 11:08PM

I've always loved the fact that such a liquid mayhem-enabler is made by monks.

Don't forget the Benno too.

Top buzz.

Seriously, I once took a Benylin4Flu on the Dublin-Cork bus when it stopped in Kilkenny. What seemed like a minute later, I was in Cork.

siltirocker · 18-01-2010 11:16PM

As a man who works in two offies in Galway. We understand and get "Buckfast", "Bucky", "Buck", "B" or simply (and most popularly) "can i get a bottle please". "Mrs. Brown" too, is quite common.

howyanow · 18-01-2010 11:23PM

bottle of life!!

griffdaddy · 18-01-2010 11:27PM

I never knew it was so popular in Galway. You Galwegians intrigue me and i wish to subscribe to your newsletter

stovelid · 18-01-2010 11:28PM

Always thought it was a Northie/Scot taste. Never knew it was popular down here.

You won't be able to walk the streets of Galway on any given day without seeing 'a bottle' somewhere

Me at a posh boat awards dinner on the weekend, drinking the stuff out of the bottle like a true gent:

(The glass was for others around the table for a taste test!)

Bloody hell. After seeing what that did to your face, I'm never touching the stuff!

It's a hell of a lot easier to drink if you just do shots with it. Nicer than vodka as well.

You can buy pitchers of the stuff in the Bernard Shaw
