    Sounds very much like a "Jason Donovan". Double vodka, Smirnoff Ice and topped up with lager. Its binge drinking heaven.

      In a couple of choice pubs in Glasgows east end you could buy a pint of the slops from the drink trays for a very reasonable price

          That'd be the spittoon then....
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            My advice, don't. Tried the real thing on three occasions, and on every occasion something bad/regrettable has happened to me. No hallucinations, but it gets you falling down drunk in the truest sense of the word - you actually fall down, drunk. Nothing enjoyable about it whatsoever, including the hangover.

            Doesn't compare to any other alcohol, and I can see why it's banned. It's dangerous.

              I guess it was just whatever was floating near by

              Seemed to be a popular choice with the jakeys.

                I'd have to agree with that, was in Prague a few years ago with a few mates on a stag do. It beat us!

                  It's not banned. Was legalised again, in the 1990s.

                    My wife bought me a bottle of the full on genuine stuff from Prague. I haven't touched it yet. The devious cow!
