  1. Weans these days, don’t know what they’re missing, lol.

  2. Love how they don’t explicitly say not for under 18s or whatever, just “not recommended” well then..

  3. Some folk might just see “tonic” and run with it as a health-drink.

  4. Damn gonna have to find something else to put in the kids packed lunches

  5. I think thats a label they have to put on everything high caffeine, rather than having anything to do with the alcohol content.

  6. My eighteenth, a good while back now, drank for three weeks every day. Went fine- until the day I drank two bottles of buck fast . The next day my chest kept hurting. Tried sink through it, but it just kept getting worse and worse. Damn Buckfast burnt my oesophagus! ! Possibly not safe for recently eighteen either

  7. Believe it or not, it’s totally legal to drink at home or private premises from the age of 5 in England, Scotland and Wales. Not sure it also applies to N. Ireland.

  8. It’s not illegal to give booze to a child over five in the UK, but responsible parents tend to stick with a weaker lager rather than a heavily caffeinated barley wine.

  9. That would be due to the sulphites it contains; I guess

  10. A couple of cans of that jungle juice will transform your commute. I like to sink a few before work to take the edge off. Nothing is a chore with Buckfast!

  11. I’ve never tried this, what does it taste like? That’s a lot of units for a small can.

  12. Wish I’d read that before I did my christmas shopping

  13. “Unique tasting” – I’ll give them that. I’ve drunk it on a couple of occasions, and found the combination of caffeine and alcohol doesn’t agree with me at all. I’m not in any hurry to try it again.

  14. Buck fast is “not recommended” for anyone in my opinion

  15. Jesus. They’re doing commotion lotion in tins now. Let the good times roll

  16. That’s a lot of units for a 250ml can. Love it.

  17. ***Whit d’ye get fae the Buckfast Wine?***

  18. I mean Scotland makes up the bulk of their UK market. I’m surprised it’s not served with school dinners here yet.

  19. It’s enjoyment being rivaled by it’s versatility is a legit claim…. It’s lot more versatile than enjoyable

  20. It’s the caffeine, children are allowed to drink from the age of 5 in their own home supervised. That’s why when my kids want something a bit lighter than fruit shoot I let them have a fosters or two.

  21. Id say its not recommended for human consumption. But its rather fun if you do.

  22. Is that a can of Buckie.. Haven’t seen that in Ireland.. Will it be more comfortable as a pillow when I black out over the bottle

  23. Nothing wrong with a bit of the ol’ Cumbernauld Rocket Fuel.
