# You two must be getting on a bit to remember that stuff!
As a kid I remember my dad drinking it and thought that the grimacing was something beer made your face do. Ah Christmas parties in the seventies.

Never actually tasted Watney's products, I get the impression they were a bit 'pioneering' in the home drinking market.

no matter how desperate you are, never try mixing brandy with bovril.

# *Googles*
I don't like beer as it is, that just looks like a tin of mixed veg.

And probably tastes worse.

# It's a legacy of the 70s and 80s the Watneys Party Seven was a drink not to be messed with
it showed up at every party and they was a nightmare to get into and usually resulted in the contents spraying the ceiling.

# I shall have to ask about. I'm oddly compelled by such a weird looking drink.
I imagine I'd have to look in the dusty cellar of an abandoned pub in John O'Groats to try it out.

If you can't drink pints of bitter you shouldn't be drinking, in my humble opinion. *tamps pipe*

# Blech, I hate WKD. That's the sort of shit 12 year olds drink.
I wish there was a viable, medical excuse as to why I don't drink bitter. I don't think "it makes me feel really sick" really cuts the mustard.

I'm mainly on bourbon (of course), rum, vodka, etc. ^^

I'm going to a beer festival at a local pub tonight. It has it's own brewery and does some fantastic beers. I will be very ill tomorrow.

# I'm pretty ill today I knocked back some Polish Lager last night
weren't much but as I;ve been working very early mornings this week the combination of booze and tiredness has caused a largish hangover.

# Polish Lager is the mind killer!
I get headaches after most sessions, but Polish lager is probably the worst. I think they put a rusty washer in the bottom of each can.

# I was very disappointed the first time I bought WKD in a bar
and they said it was only 5% or something. What the fuck? If I mix vodka and Irn Bru the stuff is half or two thirds vodka. What's with this watery shit? It's not even real Irn Bru they use!

Pah.

We used to have 4 cans of Jaguar lager that I took to a party for a joke. I left them there and they turned up at every party I went to for about two or three years. The tradition became whoever brought the Jaguar was excused bringing anything else and got drunk for free on everyone elses stuff.
As a punishment for starting this, I was finally made to drink them myself. They were about 2% and tasted awful.

# This is a very good idea
I'm going to start a similar tradition and then move away before I have to drink it.

I did take some Tescos £4 whisky to a party ten years back or so. First I tried it, then mixing it with Dr Pepper and raspberry juice, and then stopped drinking it because nothing would make it any less foul.

The bottle was empty by the end of the evening, mind you.
