    American here. What is this stuff? Is it intended to be consumed in a particular fashion, not just gulped down in a glass?

      The buckfast motto tells you everything you need to know.

      Buckfast gets you fucked fast.

      It’s intended to be consumed in a park directly from the bottle.

      An ungodly fortified tonic wine brewed by people of god. Brewed could even be a strong word, if I had to guess, I would say it’s extracted from a natural reserve which was originally thought to be oil until they realised it gets you shitfaced.

      It’s mostly consumed as an act of bravado in Scotland and the north of England, with the intention of getting riotously drunk.

    I tried buckie once! Drank a whole bottle, later that night had some sort of weird seizure while trying to go for a piss. Mashed my face against the skirting board, looked like I’d been in a fight the next day.

    Buckfast. Just say no.

        Kind of like being under a bridge on one’s knees orally pleasing a vagrant while simulataneously drinking liquified meth through a dirty rag. But in a good way though - definitely give it a try
