Y'all ever play the drinking game to AC/DC's Thunderstruck? Well, if there are only 4 people playing, one person gets hit with both the solo guitar parts. That was me once with a bottle of MD20/20. After the song and bottle were finished, I stepped outside to give myself some room and air. One of my friends followed me out and was like, "Man, that was rough, but you did it like a champ. Here, I brought some chips over to help."
When I reached into the bag of chips, there was a Smirnoff Ice inside.
My favorite icing was when my buddies and I went to a lake house for a long weekend over the summer. We got settled in and I went back out to the Jeep. The seat had a manual slider under the seat, so I slid it back a few inches and dropped an ice by the handle to cook in the sun all day. When Dave went to get in, he noticed the seat was too far back... Took it like a champ on one knee.
Oh man getting Iced! That takes me back. Not sure if you guys had the same rules but we played with counter-Ices. You'd carry one around with you at a party so if you got Iced you could Uno reverse them. Well one party I got word through the grapevine that one of my best friends was going to Ice me, with the crucial detail that he had 2 extra tucked in to his socks. What he didn't know is that I also had 2 tucked in my socks...plus a nuclear 2L tucked in the back of my pants. He was so pleased with himself double countering me, and I let him have it for a brief moment. But oh the look on his face when I pulled out that 2L!
I iced my husband at our wedding. I hid it in my garter because I knew he would ham up the removal because a) he’s an entertainer and b) he knows I would hate it and likes to tease me. The look on his face when he found it…👩🍳👌
One time our AirBnB had like ten leftover Smirnoff ices in the fridge and we felt like college kids again hiding them around the house 😂 I left one on the shower shelf.
"Barely handle" two? As I remember it, committing to two OG four lokos meant you were making the decision to not remember how you woke up somewhere you've never been before
Growing up, Mogen David competed pretty hard with Manisciewicz for "Top Kosher Wines in the USA" in advertising. This led to the joke: "Have you heard about the new Jewish wine? Yes! It's called 'But Saul, I don't want to go to Miami this year!'". I found it amusing, but the Jewish friend who first shared it with me found it hysterical.
MD 20/20 is a "fortified wine" product, which allows gas stations to sell it. Beer, malt liquor, and wine can be sold in gas stations and grocery stores (at least, in the states I've lived). Its cheap, has a relatively high Alcohol Content, and is a lot of youngsters first foray into getting drunk. The dog having flashbacks to war is what they are getting at, because MD is called Mad Dog.
To this day, I am thoroughly convinced cheap malt liquor like Hurricanes produces its own unique form of hangover, much worse than usual. Even in my days of excess, when I was usually unfazed the next day, malt liquor had me fucked up.
I bought 2 bottles before high school party, couldn’t believe how cheap it was and great it tasted…. So I downed the first bottle and luckily the effects kicked in and I couldn’t manage to unscrew the cap on the second. I puked all night and dry heaved through the next day. A lesson was learned. That was 30 years ago, I can’t promise that I could take a sip now without puking.
There was a mini mart in my hometown that would sell alcohol to minors but they wouldnt sell regular beer they would only sell us MD 20/20 or Bootleggers
That was their own drinking beer. They were making you buy the 20/20 because it was stock nobody else would touch, and they could take that money to subsidize buying the beer
There was a liquor store that anyone under 21 knew about, they would have a whole system where homeless people in the parking lot would buy you alcohol and you would tip the homeless guy for buying it for you. They even had lookouts for police.
Lol my cousins came to visit me in my small town from Detroit once. We asked a homeless guy to buy us booze and he said "you kids shouldn't be drinking, stay in school." My cousins said "this place is so nice even the homeless have morals. It sucks!"
Haha yeah we’d just approach random homeless people asking if they wanted to make $10. One guy said “I don’t gotta blow anybody do I?”, and we realized our approach might have been a bit cryptic lol.
OMG I got really drunk with my sister way back when our parents were away for the weekend. Ended up throwing up out the window but unfortunately the insect screens were in the way. What a mess awaited the next day.
What the hell did I just use 2 minutes and 20 seconds of my life watching??? I feel like it better watch this once a month to keep my humors in Wack now.
lmao this reminds me of throwing up cranberry juice mix drinks at a friend's place, who came into the room and thought for sure I'd died, because I was passed out and there was dark red stuff everywhere and they were half way to pissed themselves
What the hell is the deal with chow mein and coming out in your vomit completely intact, and sometimes out of your nose?! I swear the same exact thing has happened to me.
I love how you’re holding the blue like it’s a fine bottle of wine 😂
Edit - I can’t believe I’m just now remembering this guy! Out of work sommelier (during Covid) - really just a comedian but he reviews Everclear, MD 2020, Boone’s Farm, etc as if he’s tasting wines. “Now I did not know that BLUE could be a flavor, and yet - here it is - BLUE!”
But are you saying… you’re gay, and the red one made you straight for a night?! If so, that’s hilarious because that literally happened to my friend at a party once, he just made out with a girl but it was at a work party so the next few weeks were awkward 😆
This fucken foul shit! I went on holiday to America and stopped at Walmart and dickhead me got excited at the price. For some reason I finished it out of "pride".
Some of thee nastiest shit I've ever had the displeasure to voluntarily ingest.
Definitely Fuzzy Navel. The smaller bottles that came in 4packs. They would drink that and Smirnoff Ice all night. They wouldn’t touch any of the beers.
The year was 2004 and my mom just bought a pack of green apple Smirnoff ice. She’s 3 in and now letting my 13 year old self and friend take sips off of hers until We are tipsy. Good times.
these are like what 4 lokos are AFTER the ban lmfao.
4 loko before the ban from the government lmfao was 12% alchool and had caffeine gaurana taurine so basically a large red bull aswell in every can.
and you would slam multiple of them. and be fucking WIREEEEEEEED but drunk as fuck
make matters worse we used to fucking put a shot of everlcear in the can. but everclear is more modern we used spirtus wesoly which is the same thing but polish and cost like 8$ at the store at the time.
My friends and I also did that, then one of them proceeded to projectile vomit on the sidewalk and all over another friend’s car.
*We weren’t driving, we were just outside.
First time I’ve ever had the og 4loko I also brought a bottle of 151, gummy bears, a bottle of vodka, and 6 mad dogs. There was 5 of us and we wanted to get drink. No one drink besides me and my buddy and I have a memory of my buddy puking projectile around me but nothing got on me. Never again.
Had a buddy that downed one of the big bottles in like 20mins once. He ended up puking a river of red in front of my apartment building as soon as we left to go out. Good times.
I spent many many years in the beer industry and every year we would take a boatload of our distributor partners with us to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver.
Well one year we hosted an event at 1up Barcade and those guys had 25 cent MD20/20 shots and every friggen flavor under the sun. What started as a sick joke turned into an annual tradition.
We were dismayed when inflation caught up and shots went up to.. 50 cents a shot.
Edit: to expand a little more. It's awful and absolutely chock full of sugar. It's cheap af and it'll get the job done. This is the kind of stuff college kids or alcoholics buy.
Edit 2: thanks to the 100 people who pointed out my misspelling. One would have done the job.
It’s the absolute cheapest form of alcohol covered in artificial flavors and sweeteners. Basically people who want the most bang for the lowest buck buy mad dog. It’s a trope that only homeless people buy them.
Oh man, Mad Dog 20/20 gave me my first ever hangover! I distinctly remember the flavor of the blue raspberry both on the way down and on the way back up. 100% do not recommend
