40% of Scottish inmates drank Buckie, a caffeinated wine made by monks, before they got arrested

I have a bottle around for laughs. Big moral panic about the stuff about a decade back, heavily covered on Boing Boing. I think it was the Daily Fail that repeatedly reported a Satanist connection.

So I had a cousin in Ireland bring me over a few bottles.

It tastes like stale Coca Cola syrup that some one dumped 12 cigarettes in. Makes you shake something awful as well. And that’s the slightly lower ABV Irish market version. Purportedly has more caffeine than Redbull and I have no idea what the fuck else is in it.

The bottle I currently have is purely for Satanic Ritual use. I have no need to ever drink it again.
