As We Rise Again Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Black aftershock almost made me boak, can't be doing with it at all. Also, Aftershock "less well stocked"? It was very much de rigeur in all establishments in Greenock last I checked, both off-license and licensed premises. The Black ones actually the best one I think, the Blues probably the worst. It's always in the shop where I live but I've not drank it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The last time I remember having the stuff was 9 years ago at a house party, after being the stuff in the shop in Saline. Actually someone had to get it for me as I got ID'd. I don't remember drinking it since but over the past month or so have a massive craving for it. George Street getting a visit tomorrow night!!! Saline is the most depressing place I've ever been, incidentally, after a couple of tiny towns in southern Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 That limited edition Orange Aftershock was just about the most vile thing I've ever drank. Regarding MD, I've not seen any down here. There's a wee shop in Kentish Town that sells Tonic though, that was a quality wee find on my way back from my Halloween shopping trip.

Don't see it in all shops but I was more meaning in clubs (forgot to specify), it's barely ever stocked in clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Haven't drank a full bottle of MD since I tanned an bottle of Orange Jubillee in around five minutes then lay on the ground vomitting for the rest of the night. That was around 1998 so I'm sure at the grand age of 31 I'm ready to drink it again. £8 a bottle though? A bit steep, same goes for Buckfast which I used to be quite partial to, used to only be about £5 at most for a bottle now some shops are charging £8? You'd be better off with two bottles of £3.33 wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD1711 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 £8 a bottle is ridiculous! Can get it for £6 figure in Airdrie, great variety of flavours to choose from too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_blue Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 not drank a bottle of md since a turned 18 last year orange jubilee and the blue one were the best 2 by far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Aftershock was massive when I started going out in late 90s / early 00s, but it seems to have been supplanted as the shot of choice by jagerbombs these days with the old favourites of tequila and sambuca staying firm. Re: MD, my local newsagent sells it in at least 3 varieties,- it also sells cans of Skol, which maybe gives a clue as to its nature. Buckie is so overpriced now that you're buying it because you actually really like it, or just for the sake of buying Buckie, a status thing almost. As Bert said above you could easily go to a supermarket and get 2 bottles of half price "ordinary" wine for less than one bottle of buckfast.

Ordinary wine is horrible though, nothing compares to Buckfast. And I don't think it's overpriced at all It's only 6:50 a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Gary Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Only black Aftershock is decent. The rest are as poofy a shot as a Kola Kube or whatever the fck they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yes it does, I still semi regularly by a bottle of blue MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I initially read it as "does your office stock it" to which my answer is - yes, it does. Most do IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFAANW Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Here in Hurlford the stuffs easy to get and it's usually about 6 or 7 pound. You get 3 kinds, Blue Raspberry, Orange Jubilee and the Strawberry one.The majority of people who drink it are underage but it's either MD or Buckfast. Cactus Jacks beats both imo.

Busta Nut Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Mad Dog is rife here in Lanarkshire. As my colleague from deepest darkest Airdrie mentioned it is available in many flavours for around £6,75 per bottle, a great train drink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I've got a bottle of it in my fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Mental Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 There are a right good few in Inverclyde that stock it. You can also by Buckfast,MD and Eldorado n the Comet Bar and Star Hotel in Port Glasgow, hence why I drink in such places. Both have excellent Jukey's too, also hence why I drink there.

Fairly certain black doesnt have stronger alcohol content than the rest, and they are comfortably more alcoholic than sourz, kola kube etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I've got a bottle of it in my fridge. Ditto. £6.90 a pop 100 yards from my door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 The first and last time I drank Mad Dog was at a friends 18th (at least, I think it was) about 3 years ago. I drank 2 and a half bottles of the orange stuff before I lose memory of the night, and I woke up in a bus stop about 5 miles away from my mates house with 1 shoe. Never again.

Boghead ranter Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 It's literally impossible to find this fine beverage in Aberdeen, does anyone know of anywhere up this way that sells the heaven nectar? If not, does your local off license still sell the stuff, or has it gone the way of the Dodo and Jimmy Saville? yes, but only strawberry. As mentioned before, an excellent on-train drink. High alcohol, low stomach volume, thus reducing trips to the bog. Pocket Rocket is an appropriate terminology, I believe. I still make great use of both MD and aftershock, can't beat proven past performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
