I’m reasonably sure that the connection is that Buckie is the single cheapest high ABV alcohol product in the British Isles.
It’s 15% abv, loaded with caffeine and other junk that magnifies the effect. All for like 6 pounds. IIRC it had originally been much cheaper as it skated around certain alcohol taxes by virtue of being an unpalatable health tonic made by monks.
Poverty is associated with crime and imprisonment. And poor folk are more interested in this sort of bang for your buck hooch.
I’m sure it doesn’t help that a single sip turns you into a Satanist.
