anyone got a happy 20/20 story?

**cheeky_biscuit** · 09-07-2009, 07:35pm

just Reading katkinns post in another thread about md 20/20 and it got me thinking- does the consumption of the drink 20/20 always end in disaster?
I was very very sick on strawberry 20/20 a long time ago.

Isit anyone drink of choice?

**Helski** · 09-07-2009, 07:37pm

No sorry, no happy stories but what a blast from the past. Did everyone call it Mad Dog? Reminds me of GCSE results day, that and a bottle of Thunderbird down the fields- classy!

**sunshine** · 09-07-2009, 07:40pm

Not very happy for me either! I once went on a weekend away with a load of lads, drank a bottle of 20/20, then some whisky, yakked all over myself, then passed out and an ambulance was nearly called out! That was when I was 16 and I have never touched mad dog or whisky since...

Strawberry Mad Dog!!! god what a blast from the past - used to love that stuff!!

No, doesn't always end in disaster ime but the hangover - my god!!

**WeeBird** · 09-07-2009, 07:41pm

God I remember drinking that crap - and Thunderbird - yummy yummy

I never really had a bad experience on Mad Dog (I think everyone I knew called it that

) - but don't talk to me about Southern Comfort

I recall drinking it without any unhappy consequences (although nothing specifically unusual or happy either!!). My worst incidents have been where vodka has been involved!!!

**Chocolate Lips** · 09-07-2009, 07:48pm

No, no, no.

I once drank a huge bottle of strawberry when I was 14 and round and some lads house whilst his parents away, got up to all sorts of trouble and was so ill for about a week after, although to this day I'm not convinced that there wasn't something else in that drink - they were those types of lads and I had some bad hallucinating experiences that night.

The kiwi experience was when me and my friend again aged about 14 decided it would be fun to get pissed and go to the fair

In what world is that a clever move

So we went to Maccy Ds and had a McChicken Sandwich meal, downed a bottle of Kiwi 20/20 and then a couple of bottles of blackcurrent Hooch and then had a good few goes on the Waltzers and the Orbiter. I promptly got off, through up McChicken sandwich everywhere (which had now gone a nice purple colour) and proceeded to lie on the floor saying "I'm dying" and crying for my dad whilst the world spinned around.

So yes, good times

I guess I was happy when I drank it.

I don't recall drinking with many happy consequences tbh

there's lots of drinks that have parted company with me.

Including red 20/20

And Castaway. And Blastaway. And bloody Mary. To name a few

eta - and a very memorable experience of smirnoff ice

I sprained my ankle falling over drunk on the blue mad dog (tropical fruits?) I was so drunk I didn't notice at the time

but boy was it painful afterwards combined with a hangover

omg - absolutely what she said.....

a few years ago went bowling for a friends birthday - a few sedate glasses of wine - all lovely - went back to a different friends house afterwards & he said no-one was to leave till we'd finished the Southern Comfort - & he had 3 pub-sized bottles of the stuff....

We crawled in at 5am

When I woke up

I can't even smell the stuff now.....

**Dishes** · 09-07-2009, 08:06pm

Oh goodness MD 20/20!

It made me vomit into a bin and nice girls don't do that!

**silkycat** · 09-07-2009, 08:11pm

Oh god the memories! (or lack thereof

)

I don't know about happy memories but I have totally forgotten how I got home after drinking strawberry 20/20 one evening.

I will however never forget having to empty the bucket of strawberry 20/20 vomit from by the side of my bed when I got up the next morning as long as I live

So....I'm thinking wedding favours?

I didn't have any bad experiences of it myself but one of the first few times I met DH's parents I went round and they were having dinner and drinking Kiwi 20/20 out of wine glasses. When we went out I said to DH 'OMFG, they are drinking 20/20? Because they want to!?'

**Rez** · 09-07-2009, 08:42pm

This thread is my misspent youth!

I did end up pouring a bottle of strawberry Mad Dog over my then boyfriend's cousins head on one memorable night! A friend of mine couldn't drink the stuff without crying hysterically for hours. She did it every time and never learnt.

In a similar vein, at the weekend, DH and I thought it would be funny to spend £1.89 on a 2 litre bottle of White Lightening/Diamond White type cider. 2 litres later we're having a ball so he went to the shop for another 3 litre one

.

It took me 2 days to recover from the hangover and I gained 8lbs literally overnight. Bad bad bad and it reminded me why I haven't touched the stuff in 15 years.

**brewgirl** · 09-07-2009, 08:48pm

Mad dog!!!!

Now i havent thought about that in a while! Can you still buy it? Had a very very bad experience with kiwi md- never again

Used to love the strawberry md though

Used to mix it with vodka (DO NOT TRY AT HOME!

)if we had enough cash to pool together and we could convince a mates older brother to go and buy the vodka and as many bottles of md as we could afford!

My sister did that once too after a night on the 20/20! She came home all giddy and was chatting away and mentioned she had twisted her ankle on the way home - then lifted her trouser leg to reveal an elephant size leg. She was on crutches the next day.

**icclebunny** · 09-07-2009, 09:22pm

loadsa great times after 20/20 but don't talk to me about cinzano

Puffy · 09-07-2009, 09:32pm

Banana and Cherry flavour was the best. I can remember crawling up the stairs on my hands and knees in a FILTHY house of bedsits we used to live in to puke in the frankly Trainspotting-esque toilet whilst calling to my mate Adam that I was "proper dying"
