Do they drink Olde English in England?

[Staximus]

“Old E”

[DryGermanGuy]

From what I understand, "malt likkka" is the bottom of the barrel even for Americans.

[Staximus]

Haha there’s worse things to drink, like what we used to call “bum wine” in the 90’s. The main brands here in California were Thunderbird and Night Train. Most are 18-20% alcohol, cheap sweet “fortified wine”

[DryGermanGuy]

That wine category is called "Pennerglück" in German, which translates to "vagrants' happiness". 😂

[Staximus]

It was like $1.50 in the 90’s and only vagrants drank it. I almost forgot about the absolute worst, which was this shit called Mad Dog 20/20.

[DryGermanGuy]

I found it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD_20/20
Here it was cheap wine in a carton... usually between 2 and 3 DMs.

[Staximus]

“Like competitors Thunderbird and Night Train Express, its sweet flavors, strength, and low cost are often associated with alcoholism among the homeless and destitute but also make it popular with college students and other underage drinkers.” Also popular in Scotland 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[OlderAndWiser]

As goofy as some Brits act, I thought perhaps you were suggesting that they drink this:

[Staximus]

Hahaha

[EmmaMary]

Can't say I've ever heard of it.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

[AI Opinion]

Olde English 800, the malt liquor people call “Old E,” is really an American thing 🍺

In England, you almost never see it in pubs or shops. People drink regular ales, lagers, bitters, ciders, and sometimes strong white cider or cheap lager for the same “budget buzz” idea.

In London once, I asked a bartender about Olde English. He laughed and poured me a strong cider instead.

[Levin]

Never heard of it. Notice according to Google it's from 1964. Which I guess makes it old there.

Where I live, there's a pub that's been open since mid 1200s...

[exitseven]

Sounds like some Amerucan made swill.

[Staximus]

Don’t you live here pally

[exitseven]

[AngryCarl3]

[Staximus]

How unfortunate

[AngryCarl3]

I don't know, we do have a wide selection of booze

[Staximus]

I was being sarcastic, this is shit malt liquor

[yulbsari]

[CubaPirate]

[purplepoppy]

Never heard of it

[Staximus]

They drink it in the ghetto here

[Staximus]

It used to be sold in half gallon jugs. I drank one of those when I was 18 I went to sleep, then woke up and rode my bicycle about 5 miles to work. By the time I got there I was so hung over I had to leave

[Kenkebuttery]
