Where to buy Buckfast

Buckfast AKA "A bottle of 28 Days!"

I miss my weekly 10 of wine. A Buckfast shower always resulted in an amazing night. Down a bottle of it while you're in the shower. By the time you get ready you're buzzing.

There's a pub a few miles from me that serves it out the optics like Vodka etc

Shower Buckie is best Buckie.

As a short aside, when I studied at Edinburgh we used to go to one of the offies near us in Morningside (ran by two lesbians which we called the 'Libyan store' because we were young and stupid ((they also were not from Libya)), unimportant detail) and they always called it Loon Juice. It's just a brilliant and fitting description.

scotland, devon.

I was thinking of Devon too. It's named after Buckfast Abbey, been there loads of times back in the 1990s. Didn't know you could get it in Scotland too.

Well, you learn something new every day! Didn't know that anime was a uni degree subject.

Buckfast fascinates me because all the chavs and filth drink it yet its nowhere to be found in tescos or asda... Its in the off licences but its usually more expensive than other tastier drinks you can get from the supermarkets.

I dunno i guess maybe you get beaten up by the other homeless if you are drinking a £4 bottle of pink sidekick and they are drinking buckfast. Cultural thing possibly...

Most of them would get IDed in a supermarket and they'll either be underage or no money to get an ID because they spent it all on booze.

Used to be able to get a case for that.

My favourite bottle number is 8. Never had a bad 8 ever. Also, the brown bottles they sell in the ROI are vile. Like bad medicine.

Begbie · 16 Dec 2012 at 22:03

Always thought a 1 was meant to be the best?

Taste the same to me, crazy drink though! They tried to ban it up here not long ago.

The party is proposing imposing a legal limit of 150 milligrams of caffeine per litre of alcohol, less than half Buckfast’s content of 375mg per litre.

Possibly the off-license near the bus station, next to subway. Or the off-license on King's Street. Haven't been into either of them for ages though.

Costco

yes that really is multiple pallets of the stuff. gets drunk like water up here by certain sections of the community

I may also have a bottle sitting in my fridge

[FnG]magnolia · 16 Dec 2012 at 22:18

User location checks out.

Ahleckz · 16 Dec 2012 at 22:37

It's truly terrible stuff, sends people loopy. Avoid!

233 · 16 Dec 2012 at 22:47

Correction I did have a bottle in the fridge
