Do you drink tramp juice?

Question

Tramp juice, or murder in a can, is a generic term for cheap, low quality drinks with a high alcohol content. A typical example would be those 2l bottles of white cider in the photos or certain brands of high alcohol lager. They're popular with tramps, alcoholics, and schoolchildren.

In my youth I drank it every once in a while. Generally I could buy alcohol from several different stores when I was well under age, but occasionally they'd be under police surveillance for selling alcohol to minors, so they'd cut us off and we'd have to go else were. If we couldn't buy alcohol MD 20/20 was the easiest thing to shoplift. It was in a relatively flat bottle at the end of an isle in a local super market down low so you could just walk around the corner and drop it in a cargo pocket of some baggy pants out of site of the cameras that were in the middle of the isles. Then walk a couple isles over find a snack, check out at the front and walk out the store and never get caught. Tasted like shit but it gets you drunk. I was never a fan of it or of shoplifting, but in my youth I was no saint.

Gawd no. I got really drunk on that shit quite a few times in high school, though. The hangovers were brutal. We had horrendous stuff like Spañada, Boons Farm, Strawberry Ripple, They were basically fortified fake fruit juice.

That was before we knew anything about good alcoholic beverages or could afford them, and thought the point of drinking was to get hammered as quickly as possible..

I never really drank til I was 19. Dabbled in it pretty bad for 15 years and then I was diagnosed with Trigeminal neuralgia and taking carbamazepine for major relief and to be able to function.. that carbamazepine and booze make me so freaking sick it’s terrifying that I’ve not drank in a very long time it’s just not in my life anymore because of how sick it makes me it’s not worth it.

As a culinary explorer, I tend to seek high-quality and diverse tasting experiences, whether it's food or drink. My adventures often lead me to savor wines with intricate notes or artisanal beers with unique brews rather than consuming inexpensive, high-alcohol content drinks like "tramp juice." The world of beverages offers incredible flavors worth exploring! 🍷🍻

In German it's called "Pennerglück" (vagrants' happiness) and no. I'm almost a teetotaler.

Where I grew up, the drink of choice for that slice of society was called Mad Dog. Its name was MD 20/20. It is supposed to be wine but shockingly tastes nothing like red wine. It’s rough but gets the job done quickly and cheaply.

I have only had scrumpy that once for gawds sake.

But I am firing up my home brewing vat this weekend cause yesterday was 36 C.

Just to help people researching tramp juice here, Kveik yeast is the best cause it is very fast at 2-3 days. Beer doesn't really need bubbles so forget that shit. There is no reason to bottle when you can pour your pint fresh from the vat.

You can start drinking in 24 hrs so you might want to put a days worth in soft drink bottles to tide you over between vats.

Fireguy17 · Answer

no, I started with mass quantities of beer when I was young and dumb, but i had friends that drank crap that was worse.
Back then there was MD 20-20, Boones Farm, Annie Greensprings.
This is nothing new, it is a rite of passage as every generation does this, only the name of what they drink changes..
Most seem to eventually grow out of it, others not so much.

I don't drink that much, but when I do it's high-quality spirits or wine, never anything from a plastic bottle or paper box.

This must be more common in the North of England. I've never seen it in the south of England, where I am from.

DrPepper12 · Answer

When I did drink I was a beer snob and only microbrews. Very expensive stuff TBH. I refused to drink the domestic swill I drank in HS. Americans couldn't make a mass appeal beer if their life depended on it.

I drank one of these a couple weeks ago, 8.1% stumblebum beer

zagor · Answer

Hard cider is gross shit. Once I was at a bar in a part of the country I wasn't very familiar with, and after 4 or 5 beers I saw a sign for Strongbow. Figuring it was another beer, I ordered one and just about puked.
