    By the way, I thought it was the Scots that drank Buckfast :)

    I'm sure @oss will fill you in with all the details, it has a reputation for being a bit of an anti-social drink in Scotland.

    I know "Buckie" was first made by the monks of Buckfast Abbey in Devon because I visited there many years ago.

    Buckfast is a different drinking experience which is all attributed to the 30mg caffeine per 100ml of liquid .. try it and see!

    I recall being rather inebriated on an evening out. I tried a vodka / red bull combination which rather brought me to my senses somewhat, quite surprised me.

    Haha Buckfast puts you in a strange state of inebriation where you know you can't walk but by some miracle you are actually walking

    Alcoholic drink made by French monks - Green Charteuse liqueur. Alcoholic drink made by Belgian monks - Westmalle beer. Alcoholic drink made by English monks - Buckfast tonic wine.

    Nuff said...

    But wait -

    There is a Filipino equivalent...

    Kulafu - yes it's a "Chinese tonic wine", yes it kicks like a mule and it tastes, if I may use that term, halfway between Buckie and Irn Bru. My Illonggo father in law claims to like it, but I think he really uses it as an initiative test for sons in law. We will pass gently over my Yorkshire brother in law's attempt to drink a third bottle...
