I knew a girl in college who swore one four loko got her to the perfect level of intoxication. The OG wild west four loko. She'd chug it, start getting messed up, get sick and throw up the rest of it, then soldier on the rest of the night having a great time.
Buckfast abbey is far from isolated in the mountains. Pleasent rolling hills of the English west country between Plymouth and Exeter. However I notice their own description of buckfast tonic wine doesn't refer to it as either "wreck the hoose juice" or "the devil's ribena". Buckfast is a bit special as it actually contains more caffeine than monster ultra white and around 15% abv. If you visit Scotland, I can highly recommend taking a couple of ecstasy and washing it down with a bottle of buckfast. Just warn people about what your plans are so they can be elsewhere when the change happens.
I used to live quite close to that toilet, or rather where the toilet is supposed to be. The one in the film was a studio set and the betting shop its filmed in was in Glasgow. Also round the corner from the gunner Which is another Irvine Welsh favourite.
Generally for a black and tan style drink, you pour the bottom first and then pour the top layer off the back of a spoon or something similar to keep it from mixing.
I was gonna comment: "why kill a perfectly good Guinness" (I don't care for energy drinks at all) - but then I saw the glass - I must acquire it! Give it to meeeeeee!!!

you know energy drinks are fucked up when even GUINESS floats on top.

Guinness floats on a ton of stuff. Black and tan, snakebite, etc. There's a whole bunch of drinks that are just Guinness on top of something.

The creamy texture comes from all the entrained air bubbles.

Thick and dense are not the same, Guinness will float on pretty much anything sweet.

The green glow probably comes from the contained radium

What an absolute machine. The world doesn't know what it lost
Sludgeyy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 83d
It was 12% abv 24 ounces.
A standard beer is ~5% 12 ounces.
~2.5× stronger 2× the amount
Chugging 5 beers at once will get most people feeling quite buzzed.
LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 82d
24 oz is on par with a bottle of wine. Chug a whole bottle of wine and get back to me

Nah, it's fine. If monks do it it has to be ok.

I'm sure the things that people do when bored out of their minds alone on the mountains, are all very ok.

Do you add the Guinness or the Monster first?

Not my best pour, and I bought the wrong Monster, but I did it!
Tastes pretty gross at first, but it gets better!
resting_parrot@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 83d
Thanks for being brave enough to try this lol. I have no plans to.
Float@startrek.website · 3 pts · 83d
The weirdest part is how if you sip, you mostly get the Guinness but with monster carbonation seeping through.
But if you take a big gulp you'll get a bit of both and it assaults both the sweet and bitter ends of your taste buds.
I wouldn't call it a good drink but it is FOR SURE an interesting drink.
